Long A: You may submit a quotation by emailing it to me. However, because I receive so much email it often takes me a long time to get around to reviewing the submissions. Please do not be offended if I do not post your quote to the site. The Quote Garden is a personal collection of quotes I like the best, not a listing of every quote I can find. Just because I don't post it doesn't mean it's not a good quote or that I don't think others would enjoy it, it just means that I choose not to add it to my collection. See contact information below.
