"Okay…what?! The first five star of 2025 goes to a middle grade historical fic pic with a dreadful cover and cheesy title.
I loved this book and its protagonist LJ/Louisa June. As noted, I couldn’t get enough of Cousin Belle - a tremendous heroine in " Read more of this review » |

“Poetry, plays, novels, music, they are the cry of the human spirit trying to understand itself and make sense of our world.”

“Simplicity provides the highest sophistication, the greatest elegance, after all.”
― Da Vinci's Tiger
― Da Vinci's Tiger
“As you go forward, then, remember this: most men are hunters and collectors. You must come to know the difference between those who do so out of true appreciation and affection, those who do it for sport, those who do it for prestige and to possess what others admire and desire, and those who do it desperate to use a woman as a shield. The fourth man is hiding something. The third man can be like a dog that teases others in it's kennel with the bone it will never share. That kind of man might tear his object of affection to shreds, without meaning to, just as a dog would a bone. The second man can amuse you with the game of the hunt, if you do not take him too seriously. and the first? Well, if you can find the first kind of man, you have found heaven.”

“That takes such active, intelligent creativity, analyzing the emotions a composer intends in those scratchy notes on a page, learning and perfecting the technique that gives you the skill to bring those skeletal notations to full-fleshed life in your performance. As far as I am concerned, Eliza, that is the greatest act of intelligence a human being is capable of. Music is air made rapturous, achieving the sublime, catching the harmony of the spheres for a fleeting moment so we can hear it. It is the closest we get to God. So, therefore, it is pure brilliance of the soul.”
