Kind of lazy (so sue me...) but these are my favourite quotes about diaries:
"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train." Oscar Wilde
"What is more dull than a discreet diary? One might as well have a discreet soul." Henry Channon
"I always say, keep a good diary and one day it'll keep you." Mae West
"The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication." Raymond Chandler
"To write a diary every day is like returning to one's own vomit." Enoch Powell (moronic, fascist politician of 60's and 70's)
And my personal favourite...
"To be a good diarist, one must have a little, snouty, sneaky mind." Harold Nicolson
Oh, to have a snouty mind.
