You're so welcome, Madeline! I do like the quote you posted! Thanks for visiting today :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes. I also very much liked your story over at Twist of Noir
ReplyDeleteHi Charles,
ReplyDeleteThanks ~ So glad you visited here & ATON today ~ thanks for taking the time to read my story :-) Happy Valentine's Day!
Tennyson´s is my favourite; I have quoted him now and then without knowing where I had it from, but Josh Billings´ is just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMy 13 year old son loves that one, too, Dorte! I told him about that quote last summer, when he had a crush on a girl he met on a cruise, and was so sad when our trip was over. He hasn't forgotten the quote! Billings' is great, I agree!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Valentine's Day!
