Love This Quote!

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge

30th President of the United States

Narrowing Down the Candidates

Okay, before I launch into your nominations, I must say I was pleased to find this review in the Mormon Times of City Limits (#3).

Yaaaaaay!

And now that the cheering has subsided, it's time--as promised--to reveal your nominations for best quotes from the Rhea Jensen. You will see the somewhat lengthy list of candidates by looking to your right sidebar. One thing to note is that I've allowed you to vote for multiple quotes, just to make it easy.

So vote away, and invite others to do the same if there's one quote you really want to win. Anyone can vote. We're a democracy here.

A big thanks to all those who nominated quotes. There are a lot of them there I never would have thought of. (Although Rachael, I think you win for "Most Unexpected Nominee." Too freakin' funny.)

I now look forward to seeing which quote wins, so get your vote on :)

Quotable Contest

So I've been thinking about what I should make that's a good tie-in for the Rhea series. I've considered water bottles, unique keychains, posters and more. Some ideas are fun in theory, but who really wants a poster?

I thought and I thought, wondering, "What would people like to win?"

Then it hit me.

If you're anything like me, you're a sucker for notebooks and journals. Who can't use an extra one of those? I have sooooo many, but I will compulsively buy more if I like the look. So I'm going to make some Rhea Jensen journals :)

This brings me to my current contest, and this is how it rolls:

Best Eclipse Quotes

Whether you like the books or not, you have to confess that the Twilight movies are getting better. Not that I think they merit the HP treatment of the final book deserving 2 parts. That's just people getting greedy in my mind, but putting that aside, Eclipse had some SWEET quotables. My favorite?

"I was a little more theatrical back then."

Seriously, laughed out loud! And no, it wasn't uttered by Jacob (pictured)--who had his fair share of good quotes in the movie.

What was your favorite quote? :D
