Random quote of the day:

“What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contemporary who reads it, invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.”

—Dame Ellen Terry, quoted in The Assassin’s Cloak: An Anthology of the World’s Greatest Diarists, eds. Irene & Alan Taylor
