Julie Johnson Lindsey loves to read, particularly historical fiction and biographies. Recently she’s been reading “How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne: In One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer” by Sarah Bakewell.
The book is about 16th century French philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne.
Though some version of one of Johnson Lindsey’s favorite quotes has been attributed to everyone from Benjamin Franklin to Mark Twain, she says it comes from Montaigne:
“All things in moderation, including moderation.”
It’s a philosophy Johnson Lindsey of Anacortes seems to live by, dipping her toes — sometimes actually getting in up to her neck — in activities from acting and directing at the Anacortes Community Theatre to giving to the community through Soroptimist International of Anacortes and the Anacortes Arts Festival.
