Collecting Quotations



I love quotations. I have a huge collection of books of quotations by others, such as

Bartletts Quotations
Humorous Quotations
Jewish Quotations
Oxford Quotations
Theatre Quotations
Shopping Quotations

I photograph quotations all over the world, on war memorials, pub and restaurant walls, shopping malls, theatres, wine labels.

When I started giving speeches regularly at Toastmasters International club meetings, I needed short quotations to start speeches. I could not remember long quotations. So I looked for short quotations. I ended up compiling them into a paperback book which I printed under the title Quick Quotations. You can buy it as a paperback book and it will shortly be available as an e-book.

You may be wondering, what is Angela's favourite quotation?

My favourite quotation is from Disraeli: When I want to read a book, I write one.

Angela Lansbury B A Hons, author and speaker
Author of
