This week affiliate author, Amy Romine, asks the question - "What is your favourite author quote and why?"

This is a great question, Amy, and here are a few of my favourites :-

Nora Roberts

"All the sounds of the earth are like music."

Oscar Wilde

"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."

"Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much."

Aesop

Groucho Marx 

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. "

Confucius

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.

Charles Dickens
