Clippings

This site contains quotes that collected by Tor Guttorm Syvertsen during some decades.

It is basically a html-copy from  my Firefox Clippings extension which has served me well for years but has started to deteriorate…

Most digital containers seem to decay and eventually break down, and I am prepared that this attempt will last no longer than until the next breakdown of Google Sites….

From 2022 there may be some discrepancies between this site and my Firefox Clippings collection, in particular related to overall structure; "New" Google Sites is a monster with extremely poor structural editing functionality…

I use a variety of sources on the World Wide Web, but I do not scrutiny the origin of the quotes.

 QuoteInvestigator might in many cases provide provenance?

An early collection of my quotes may be consulted, but is not curated any more.
