Pointed Stares

"Made a noise in the back of her mouth and then sat saying nothing, but looking the way women do when they have an opinion they are not going to express openly. I don't know what they think those pointed stares are if not opinions deprived of words?" Salley Vickers Miss Garnet's Angel

I don't think it's just women who have this look though, maybe it's more to do with the personality or situation. What do you think?

Courage, Truth and Mercy

I've managed to read one book for Venice in February. This week's quotes are from books I've already read set in Venice. Miss Garnet's Angel.

"Who or what [do]you worship?"
"How would courage, truth and mercy and right action strike you?"
"But those are not gods," I protested...
"Tobias, for heavens sake, what do you think a god looks like when he works in men?"

Venice in February

Dolce Bellezza is hosting Venice in February. I thought I'd join in. I shall be reading Ian McEwan's Comfort of Strangers. This challenge also fits into my own personal, and very much on going challenge, of reading some of Warmth's very many books. I shall also be using this as an excuse to post some of my favourite quotes from Salley Vickers' Miss Garnet's Angel and The Merchant of Venice.

Will you be travelling to Venice this February?
