I’ve been noting more quotes in what I read and I think I’ll start posting some of them. I read awhile back on Melissa Wiley’s blog, Here in the Bonny Glen, a great suggestion for keeping track of quotes. She takes a post-it and sticks it to the back of the book and writes down the page number and perhaps a brief note. Then when she’s done with the book she goes through and types the quotes in her quote journal on her computer. I was trying to keep a paper quote journal, but it just wasn’t working for me… but this method has been quite successful so far.

So on that note, here’s a quote that Barbara Coloroso quotes in her book. I believe this gets to the heart of a fundamental truth.

“True obedience is a matter of love, which makes it voluntary, not compelled by fear or force.” - Dorothy Day
