Commonplacing
a tumblelog
This blog (more properly, "tumbleog") is a growing collection of quotations.
Right now, the most recent one is
"The past is intelligible to us only in light of the present; and we can fully understand the present only in light of the past.
— Edward Hallett Carr, What is History? (New York: Vintage, 1961), 69.
"Commonplacing" is not your usual collection of uplifting/relevant quotations. But, for those willing to wade through some fairly dense prose, I think it'll be worth checking out.
Finally, about the word "commonplacing:" There's a definition at the start of a BlogCatalog discussion, "Commonplacing" (started June 2, 2008).
