Who am I?:

My name is JoAnne Golden, and I am the owner and webmaster of LUAQuotes.com. LUAQuotes.com is a passion of mine, but it is not my life–which is why updates do not occur as frequently.

I have had a long love affair with quotations, but I work in an entirely different field. I am the Director of Public Policy for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation.

I am originally from Michigan, but I live in California.

What is my favorite quote?:

“Sometimes you have to stand alone–just to make sure you still can.”

Why quotes?:

Quotations have always provided an outlet for me. I got started collecting them when I was about 10. Up until I was 13, it was mostly just a one-page word document, but once I began a website, I couldn’t stop. I created this massive organization method that I stuck through until a few years ago (I am now using one workbook in Excel).

Where are the updates?:

Keep in mind that I work a full-time job. This website is something I do for a hobby only.
