One thing Im constantly looking for is a good quote. Happy to say its a real embarrassment of riches. Sometimes I want to use more than one quote but weve gotta keep it to one.
I see a LOT of choice quotes week-by-week right here on DU. And I use em! Like this Sonia Sotomayor quote I saw earlier today. A definite keeper!

(6,182 posts)Falling down as in failing in one way or another, or being knocked down.
