One of the more entertaining aspects of moving to a new place and packing/unpacking your books and other stuff, is that you come across books you did not know you owned in the first place. Hence, I have been amusing myself by reading an old Danish translation of quotes from Samuel Butler's notebooks. Judging from this translation, Butler was a blogger, before the term was even coined - these are long and short musings on all kind of aspects of life; Im sure he would have blogged, had he lived in this century :). Here is one of his punchlines (in a crude translation back to English):
It is not nice been married to anybody, not even a theory.
I'll try to keep that in mind in the months to come...I have been known to fall in love with theories in my earlier life, you know.

Oh, and there is another well-turned quote at the Logophilia.com website which describes itself as the "Web Site for Word Lovers".
