Well, you know what they say. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Of course, if you disagree, I would also “say:”

It isn’t always a difference of opinion. Sometimes it’s a difference of being.
And that can’t be ever be bridged.

It’s exciting to try however. Like standing at the edge of a precipice and trying to touch the other side. Until one falls into the crevasse.

Then it isn’t exciting. But the thrill never fades.

XO!

Queenie: Why not remove any doubt and simply write one line giving credit where its due?

If i like a passage from a book and wish to reproduce it on my blog, i’d simply write the name of the author or book. There must exist no doubt as to whose work it is.

@ Echo: I know.

@ Brad: Call me and I’ll tell you.

@ Queenie: Maybe. But I’m not flattered if he’s passing off my work as his own. As for marking passages, that’s done in a book that is read by a few people. What’s more, no one reading the book is going to think that the person who made the markings, actually wrote the book. The same doesn’t hold true for the blog. This is plagiarism without doubt. As for romance with such a person, I have no respect for people who do this.

When one marks favorite passages from a book, does one ask the author if it is okay to do so?
I do not think there is plagiarism here.
But I do think it could be a blog romance!
