Diary of an author, waiting. Part 12

Quotations. I’m not so much a collector of them as a user. When I published a monthly comic I’d always start the letters page with one, and when I had a website I’d put a new one at the top of the home page as often as i could. Inevitably I’d use them up quicker than I could come across new ones in my day to day reading so I’d bookmark those sites who make it their business to collect and store quotations. Since The Fate of the Artist is our obsession of the moment, and the subject of this author’s interminable wait, I draw your attention to an excellent site at artquotes.net and borrow one from their archives:

The problem with the youth of today’ is that one is no longer part of it.
::: Salvador Dali :::

Since my esteemed editor Mr Siegel is more likely to use my blog entries if I include a picture with my words, here’s a quick scribble of Dali.
