Post your favourite quotations here. 🙂

We could have a "quotation of the month" every month if there are enough quotations (the quotation with the most Helpfuls that would then be marked as Solution), or maybe we can mark as Solution all quotations with more than a certain number of Helpfuls, like 5 Helpfuls?

Any suggestions?
