Quotes
I've been reading Reader's digest for awhile now. I even got a 1979 issue where they actually have a Bahasa Malaysia section (amazing!). So anyways I just realize that in their 'Quotable Quotes' section, there are more Hollywood celebrity quotes than before. Sometimes ALL the quotes are celebrity quotes. I don't have anything against Hollywood celebrity but some of these quotes are not what it used to be. Call me old fashion but judge for yourselves.

As the Editor-in-Chief of Reader's Digest in Asia, I have to agree with your comment. However, I think it has more to do with people, including celebrities, not having as good things to say any more than we editors not picking better quotes. In any case, thanks for reading and we will strive to do a better job of it all in the future. Besides Quotable Quotes, what parts do you like in the Digest?
