Quotable Quips - February 2009

Why I write this blog

February 19th 2009 12:16

I was thinking about this blog, and it occurred to me that it's a bit purposeless. I initially started it because I found quotes to be interesting, and contain a lot of truth (or at least the potential for truth). Reading back over my blogs though, the various quotes used have just been excuses for me to splurge my opinion on things, and while I enjoy having that outlet, it doesn't seem to be very purposeful. In addition, it is very unlikely that people who type "quotes" or "quips" into Google are looking for a hyper-analysis of what a quote means or its implications. As such, I'm going to change this blog at some point into a format where the readers that find the site will be people who are actually looking for strongly opinionated analysis on generally held wisdom.

My blog is NOT intended to be light reading and I don't want anymore to attract readers who are just looking for some smart quips or their origins.

Your blog reminds me a little of my Daily Inspirations, which has a standard format I reproduce every time. I let the quote I select inspire my thoughts, but I usually do not have time to write more than a few sentences in response. Or perhaps it's that I'm afraid to really get into on some level... will have to think about it more.

Anyway, looking forward to reading more from you, on this blog or on others...
