Library Thing Tuesday (19) + Pic of Emmy

Today's Question: Have you ever added a quote to the quotation field in common knowledge? What's a quote you particularly like from a book, one that you know by heart?

My answer: I have not added any quotes, though maybe I should start doing that. If a particular quote strikes me while I'm reading, I'll often add it to my review of the book, so it wouldn't take too much effort to add it there as well.

I used to have a notebook full of literary quotations that I loved (it's probably in storage now). I was inspired to start it by the movie "Dead Poet's Society". My favorite literary quote from that movie (one that I know by heart) is from Tennyson's poem Ulysses:

"...Come, my friends,

`Tis not too late to seek a newer world...

for my purpose holds

To sail beyond the sunset,...

and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven,

that which we are, we are;

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

This week, looks like Emmy doesn't want to be left behind on our trip to Dresden (we leave tomorrow for 3 days and she'll have to go to our neighbor's place):
