Weekly Geeks: A Quote a Day #1

One of my favorite Weekly Geeks last year was: A Quote a Day. This will have you pulling books off your shelves and Googling for your favorites. It also means a post a day for the next week - or as many as you can do. Quoth Dewey:

You may want to come up with a theme, such as favorite passages from books, author quotes, political quotes, quotes about books or reading, humorous quotes, whatever. Or you may not want a theme at all; maybe you just want to gather up seven assorted quotes that appeal to you. You may want to start each of your posts of the week with a quote, or you may want to give quotes posts of their own in addition to your regular posts. It’s all up to you!

Signing Mr Linky this week means you’re committing to posting a quote each day for a full week, starting on the day you sign up. You can postdate your quote posts so they appear automatically if you can’t get to your blog each day.

The new annotated Pride and Prejudice was reviewed in today’s paper - I’m suffering from a bit of booklust at the moment! - so naturally the theme for the week’s quotes has got to be Jane. I’ll start off with one from a letter of 1811, and follow with one from each of her six best-known novels.

I will not say that your mulberry-trees are dead, but I am afraid they are not alive.
