Each day I select a quote which relates in some way to the topic of the main post.
Sometimes I agree with the quote, sometimes not.
The connection can be serious or humorous. I may intend it literally or ironically. But as often as possible I aim for a resonance that illuminates both the post and the quote, pushing both to a deeper level.
Looking for this connection, and the insight or laugh it provides, is a game I hope you will enjoy.
