Austen quote in Dialogue Project
The San Francisco Chronicle reports about the Dialogue Project, a temporary public art installation exhibited in San Francisco’s Union Square yesterday.
A Jane Austen quotation was among the 2,000 displayed on the nine white vinyl panels:
“Today’s the day I told the kids we’d do all the things we used to do in San Francisco,” said Joseph, who formerly lived in Oakland.
There were fewer pigeons but way more words than she expected. Joseph found a quote from Jane Austen, one of her favorite authors: “I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.”
The Dialogue Project will continue its journey across the country until October, when it will put in its last appearance in New York’s Times Square.

I saw the Dialogue Project in person. It’s really cool… hope everyone gets to see it around the country!
