New Month, New Quotes and a Challenge.

As I’m sure you have all noticed with the end of my Alphabetical Quotes and the start of a new month I’ve shifted to quotes by authors. This will continue for the month of September, leading up to this year’s Banned Books Week Sept 30 – Oct 8 2012, the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week.

So each week my quotes will be by an author and have something in common.
To make things more fun each week I’m going to ask for guesses about the theme of the week.

So setting aside Zelazny (he is transitional between the alphabetical and the authors) what do you think this week’s theme was?

    Oh! You’re testing us! Let’s see…listening to your inner muse?

      Hmmm… nope, that wasn’t what I was shooting for. Looking at the quotes your idea does work so points for you! :)

      Goes to show how different people can get different things from the same material.

      Keep guessing everyone!

    I’ve enjoyed these quotes. Keep them coming!

      Thanks! I’m planning on it. Just mixing things up a bit with how I do them so it doesn’t shift from fun to a task.

    And my brother Vince weighs in with “quotes related to dystopian societies”.

    Which is also incorrect, but like tmso when I looked I noticed it was another common theme.

    Keep trying!

    No. Tell us. I demand it.

    Oh…okay…we have:

    Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. – Aldous Huxley

    When one reads any strongly individual piece of writing, one has the impression of seeing a face somewhere behind the page. It is not necessarily the actual face of the writer. – George Orwell

    The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty. – John Steinbeck

    Facts? The truth is out there and unavoidable?

      Again, good guess. I’ll give a hint, in this case you are looking a bit deeper than I was thinking. :)
