Re: [BKARTS] Help with quotes

[Aoife <aoife@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Susan, you also might want to try Bartlett's Quotations (or maybe it's
called Bartlett's Book of Quotes).  Also, if you target a few people whose
philosophy of life you admire and then track through their writings, you may
find some great (and sadly unused) quotes.

Good luck!
