Quotable
This page –probably more than any other– captures why I started blogging back in 2002. I wanted a place to write down lines from movies and books. I was forever searching through my library or scraps of paper. These are just the ones I remembered to post. The others… are here someplace. And a few of the links below just take me back to something wrote and wanted to be able to find again.
