Ok, this just popped into my head. Let's have a conversation using only direct quotes from published books, poems, or short stories. No movies, no magazine articles, no internet postings. Actual quotes are preferred, but an honest effort at the quote if you can't find the reference is ok too. And please cite the book being quoted. I'll start. "How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?" Three Questions - Leo Tolstoy |

"Here's a stranger, gentlemen, and by the looks of him he's travelled through hell itself to get here." "That's right," said Grant cheerfully. "And how did you find things down there?" "Just like here," replied Grant, "lawyers all closest to the fire." The Little, Brown Book of Anecdotes - Clifton Fadiman |
