Bartlett's Quotations is part of Bartleby.com - http://www.bartleby.com/ However a quick search did not produce the source of your quote......Alex Kuskis -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Barry Wellman Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 9:32 AM To: aoir list Subject: [Air-L] quotations on line I yet again ran into frustration trying to find the source (publication, date) for a quotation. Finding the quote is easy. In this case: Gene Fowler, "Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until little drops of blood form on your forehead."* But when was it uttered or written. The many quotation pages on the web seem Never to give sources. (Methinks, many just copy from each other.) They seem to be aimed at giving sound-bytes to speakers, bloggers, etc. Barlett's QUotations was sterling on this in print days. Does it still exist? Any other advice? *A cognitive psych research question: is writing easier with screens and word processing than in the old days of blank pages, pens and typewriters? Barry Wellman
