“We’d had a very long discussion…”

“We’d had a very long discussion on the true state of things, which I will not reproduce here lest the overly credulous accept it as truth.”
–William Peter Blatty
writing in I’ll Tell Them I Remember You

This is one in a series of quotations.

I’ve been working, from time to time, on a book of quotations for many years.  I call it, “The Mind Boggles”, from one of my favorite quotations.  I do source quotations a bit differently from a lot of people.  In the case of a work of a fiction, I consider that the character said the line…not the author.  As a bit of an author myself (in a minor way), I can tell you…my characters definitely say things that I would never say.  These are all quotations that I’ve collected myself: I’ve read the book, seen the TV episode, and so on.

Hope you enjoy them!
