A way to remember & find my favorite quotes
WOW! I keep forgetting the favorite quotes I post on Twitter. Because it might be easier to find them all on one Squidoo lens, I opened this one.
Besides, I will collect links to the best favorite quotes websites here.
I am featuring quotation lenses I like here, too, so please suggest great ones in the guestbook.
I list quotes and lists that shift my attention for any reason -- whether I agree or not.
For more by or about me, visit my Giant Lensography or Lensography 2 -- and tweet quotes with me!
