Reviews

[Zany · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another 637 quotes, of which less than 100 were memorable. Still, I'm reminded of George Castanza (from Seinfeld) when he was trying to impress a gal on subway by ostentatiously reading the stocks page of the newspaper after she asked, "So you're in the stock market?"
He responded with, "Yep. Looking for the quotes. Gotta check the quotes. Love a good quote."

Just plain fun, quotes from the famous, the infamous, the not-so-famous. Words of mirth and wisdom. Great bathroom reading. Isn't that everyone's favorite quiet place to read?
