last night a school friend from Australia asked me if there was a word for a person who collects quotations. They had duly searched and I searched and we didn’t find any such description, I decided to invent one. I have some experience with neologism, having studied the exploits of Shakespeare, Dickens, Douglas Adams, and May Gibbs. I delved into Greek and Latin and decided Greek was best and I came up with “Parathetist”, made up from the Greek for Quote “Paratheto” and the suffix “ist” for practitioner. If anyone knows of another word for this meaning let me know…
