NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Quotations—a writer’s addiction



One of Degas’ Impressionist paintings of dancers


Many people, not just writers, love quotations. Often the books I read include quotations to illustrate the writers’ points, as do the newsletters I subscribe to. Recently I set up my Dell homepage so I receive daily doses of quotes, which further fuels my delight. I just can’t resist passing some on—like this one by 19th century painter, Edgar Degas:

“Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.”
