And dogged perseverance when searching. <BR/><BR/>I'm working on a post about Jesse Stuart's book, "The Thread That Runs So True"; I first read the book as a teenager, MANY years ago. All I remembered was the fact that it was about teaching in rural schools, and the title.<BR/><BR/>My daughter and I enjoyed, but were ultimately disappointed by, the final Harry Potter book. The deciding factor for me was that there were no memorable quotes. I hope to go back to some of my favorite novels ("Emma", "Gaudy Night", "His Dark Material" trilogy by Pullman) and retrieve some items to use here in my blogs.<BR/><BR/>(I tried to backtrack my thinking process for a colleague once; I'm not a linear thinker, though there is some logic involved.)<BR/> <BR/>"A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word as good. What he quotes, he fills with his own voice and humour, and the whole cyclopedia of his table-talk is presently believed to be his own."<BR/>-Ralph Waldo Emersondianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292813474160548707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3665164814382738462.post-65104088361531431042007-07-30T06:15:00.000-04:002007-07-30T06:15:00.000-04:00Okay, what's your secret for finding just the righ...Okay, what's your secret for finding just the right quote for your posts? A life of reading, or a secret widget?<BR/><BR/>It's uncanny. Love it.CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236657531187596253noreply@blogger.com
