Quotable Quotes

Dear Reader,

Can you imagine what it would be like to be quoted? To have something you said be repeated by strangers, word for word, years from now, and be held in the highest esteem by the world? To have someone take up your quotable quote as a favourite saying, a motto, a philosophy, a preferred mindset, a life theme?

I don't have a quote for you, dearest Reader. I don't even have a saying or catchy one-liner. Not yet, anyway. For now, I'm content just quoting others. But perhaps, one day, I'll be the one being quoted. Hope springs eternal...

'I never let schooling interfere with my education.'

-Mark Twain









'Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.'

'Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.'

I shall now leave you to peruse these quotable quotes in peace, my contemplative friend, and bid you adieu.

Til the next post,
