Upon looking at the stock in Blott, I came across a series of stationary called 'citations' and the quotes on them all revolve around writing by writers. This got me thinking about the quotes and/or text I translate using the dictionary and these quotes work well. Not only is it old text, it is quotes aimed at what it means to write and have a strong literature connection. By extending and pulling apart to find the meaning of these, I am expanding on my exploration of art and literature.
The collection can be found here... http://www.blottshop.com/brand/Citations/27
Below is the list of quotes used, which will be a good place to start as I collect up various quotes on this subject.
