Self Quotation My good WdC friend, runoffscribe , stores his most memorable sayings in a file and shares these occasionally in his Newsfeed. It was on reading one of these that I was reminded that I have sometimes lamented losing most of my pithy inventions over the years through my sievelike memory. I resolved to begin a similar file and did so that very day. As a result, I now have a small collection of self quotes. Although they are not as good as those I have forgotten (inevitably, since the ones that get away are always the biggest fish), they might serve to fill the occasional gap in the blogging calendar with a brief amusement.

Death is what gives life its flavour. Writers are at their most romantic when considering their own situation. The cliché is best defined as the tired and true. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Unless you're making cook soup, of course. Caught like a deer in the head lice. They also serve who only stand and wait for you to order from the menu. This is all brought on by Lilli 🧿 ☕ ’s
