Quote of the day: A new feature
Hello dear readers. Every now and again, I like to add a new feature to ForrestHartman.com, and my latest brainstorm is a quote of the day. Future installments will include an interesting quote that I believe is as relevant now as when it was first spoken. Sometimes the quote will be entertainment-related, but more often it will be something I simply find interesting. I’d love to get feedback (and even quote suggestions) from all of you. Let’s get things started …
‘How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.’
