“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Only a few people can delve inside your soul through your eyes in an instant. It is odd to think that you could know someone for years and they still do not know who you truly are, and you could know someone for just a few weeks, but they manage to find out your deepest, darkest secrets without you having to say a thing. These people only come occasionally, often once in a whole lifetime.” — Ruby Dhal

“Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.” — St. Basil

“I have to work out like a tri-athlete just to maintain chubby.” — Sharon Houston

 

***************

“I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.”
— Marlene Dietrich —

What’s the difference between STATUS QUOtes and Q.U.O.T.E. (Quotes Up On The Edge)

If you happen to follow STATUS QUOtes on a regular basis, you might have noticed that controversial topics are largely avoided.

As a quotation enthusiast, I felt there was a need for a space with quotes that would resonate with readers and which, by the nature of the quote or the person quoted, might cut a bit closer to the bone than those on the STATUS QUOte pages.

That’s where Q.U.O.T.E. – Quotes Up On The Edge comes in. These pages, unlike STATUS QUOtes, will not be published on a daily or regular basis. When there has been an ample number of witticisms, timely remarks, irreverent humor, etc. to gather an interesting compilation, they will appear on JBRish.com

If this is your “cup of tea,” check back often! Please do not comment about the topics and/or opinions; they are not necessarily those of JBRish. If you have something to say that would enlighten viewers regarding the meaning of the quotation or quip, then please feel free to chime in.
