Usually posting these quotes is a relatively easy process — I just copy and paste the format from the last time and copy and paste the new group of quotes from the script that puts them in the header. But I discovered that the conversion to Wordpress reorganized all my archived posts. They’re all still there, but you wouldn’t find them with the old links. So [I know you want to know this] I went through and updated the links in all the previous installments of this series. You’re welcome. [smirk]

The previous parts of this series are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. (If you’re keeping track, there are 259 quotes in rotation now.) Two of the quotes in this group are from other blogs that I read. You can find them in the list over there —–>

You have several of my favorite quotes here. In fact, the one by St. Augustine is one I used in a post of mine last year. Here’s the link to the post….if you’re interested….

Let me guess, if you’re like me, you read quotes for what seems like hours on end, copying and pasting them into your private stash to re-read later and mull over… ?
Yup, lots of mulling. Thanks for the link. ~Tim

Ah, look who has joined us on the Word Press banwagon! Looks great! If I add a quote, is that stealing your thunder?
Actually, it’s the song lyric that I’m currently obsessing over:

And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known.
Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure.
Days like that should last and last and last. –”Dusk and Summer,” Dashboard Confessional
Wow. I love that. Thanks! ~Tim
