Quotations Weblog

Welcome! This new feature of our site is a weblog that will feature daily writings by Michael and Laura Moncur about quotations, quotable people, literature, and other topics related to our site, The Quotations Page.

We’ve actually had two “weblogs” on this site since 1997:

• The “Latest Updates and News” section of the home page, where we posted updates about the site
• The Quotes of the Week feature, which started in 1997 and was later known as “Special Features” and “Articles”

This weblog consolidates those older items into a single place. More importantly, we’ll be writing new items daily. The following are topics we plan to cover:

• Updates about the site
• New quotations recently added to the site
• What particular quotations mean, or what they mean to us
• Motivational quotations and inspiration
• Biographies and facts about quotable people
• Observations on current and classic literature
• Quotations for special occasions and holidays
• Answers to your quotation questions

While our Quotes of the Day are chosen by a computer, the weblog will have something new for you every weekday, written by an actual human being. We hope you enjoy it.

Let us know what you think! If you’re a member of our forum, you can comment here. Otherwise drop us a line.

We have successfully moved this site to a new server. The forum is back up, and everything should be back to normal. Please let us know if the site does not work as expected.

The US celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. day today. King’s actual birthday was January 15th. Read our Martin Luther King Jr. quotations or visit The King Center to find out more about Dr. King and how you can help further his philosophy.

If you have money to spare this holiday season, please do what you can for the relief efforts in the wake of the tsunami and earthquake in Asia and India. Donations are being accepted by the American Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent, Oxfam (US), Oxfam (UK), and Mercy Corps.

10 Years of Quotations: The Quotations Page is celebrating its 10-year anniversary! (We first went online in November 1994.) Read more about the history of this site here. We couldn’t have lasted this long without our loyal visitors, so thanks as always for your support. I’ve also made some minor changes to the site design today, so reload your browser if things look strange. More exciting new features are coming by the end of the year. Please let us know if you have any suggestions or comments.
