welcome to orsorum
orsorum: [lat.] (orsa) beginning, start, undertaking / first few words.
this site is dedicated to make literary critics' life easier.
pun intended.
as we all know, quotations rule the world. it is never interesting what we ourselves have to say, we are all quite boring i am afraid. but there certainly are interesting and funny things some other (now mostly dead) people said. i myself am a too much quotation man, and avoid being original as often as i can.
the internet is full of sites offering quotation databases to the avarage quotation adventurer. so i set out to do what no man, animal, robot or robot animal has ever done before electronically: create a wiki∞ or interactive collection if you will, that contains the first and only the first sentence of a particular literary creation. (please note that libraries have been doing this {and the last sentence} for ages)
