A place where I can share the quotes that I have collected (and keep collecting) over the years. I have gathered them from all sorts of sources. The "Quote of the Day" posts will always be a quote from a book and may be on any topic.

First Blog Award For the Quote Mistress

Frl. Irene Palfy of All that glistens could be old has been kind enough to send the One Lovely Blog Award back to me...giving it to my brand-new blog page (well...almost brand new). Having already paid this award forward through My Reader's Block page, I'm going to defy the rules and just say a big THANK YOU!
