The Curmudgeon Quotelist has been on the web for some seven years. I admit that I am somewhat snobbish about my web site, I have always considered mine the best quotation site on the net, an opinion shared by many who have signed my guestbook. The fact that many quotation web sites dwarf mine in number of hits bothers me not a bit, I do not consider traffic volume a statement of quality.
       However I pride myself on giving credit where credit is due. I have recently come across a quotation web site which I feel is of the highest quality. I am constantly browsing quotation web sites, but since I discovered Quotez a few weeks ago I have taken more quotations from this web site than any other which I have been browsing for years. The design of this web site makes it very easy to find quotes either by author or subject or just browse randomly if you prefer. There are very few of the mindless dingbat quotations that are so prevalent in other internet quotation collections.
       This would not be called the Curmudgeon quotelist if I did not have some criticism. In the first place when I click on the name of Ambrose Bierce, one of my favorite writers, in the author index of Quotez I get quotes from somebody named Sir Edwin Arnold. I still have not found the page with Bierce's quotations. A more serious problem is the advertising which is becoming a terrible annoyance throughout the internet. I suppose advertising is an ineluctable reality in a society which worships wealth but at Quotez the advertising is an extreme irritant because every new page opens up a narrow but window length ad window which must be closed to view the quotes. Nevertheless Quotez is a must see for the quotation enthusiast.
