About
Commonplacing is the act of selecting important phrases, lines, and/or passages from texts and writing them down; the commonplace book is the notebook in which a reader has collected quotations from works s/he has read. Commonplace books can also include comments and notes from the reader; they are frequently indexed so that the reader can classify important themes and locate quotations related to particular topics or authors.
This commonplace book is a collection of quotes that I come across while reading. I blog at Intertextuality. These commonplacing quotes were retrieved from the books I read over the past few years.
