Quotes of the Day for 10 October 2003 – Frustration
One after another, three different themes for today fell through. Either the event turned out not to have happened on 10 October, or I didn't have a good set of quotes to support it. As I was about to head upstairs and have a drink, I decided to do my duty and publish anyway. The frustration itself becomes my theme.
The quotes:
