A Quote-Worthy Entry

Thank you for this - more wise words
Nice virtue-signalling Strengthens the first point, though, that it isn't just part of life to expect the reader to read the same thing twice in one sitting just because it benefits the author... As with speeches, it can be harder to write shorter pieces because words have to be chosen more carefully, but the audience appreciates the effort
Synchronicity, too - Frank Langella was the answer to a question about the 1979 Dracula film in a crossword I did last week That is a superb quote of his - "what a quote is for." indeed
I see I use quotes in Entries occasionally, aiming to give a flavour of people's characters, such as Conchita Wurst A87830490 and Eddie Hall A87905299 , but I don't integrate them into the narrative as well as I perhaps could... Useful to ponder

Thanks, Sasha.
Those two entries are excellent illustrations of what I mean about quotes - you've added value and flavour to the text.
