NickTaylor/Quotes

I seem to have picked up some quotes.

Rating system in use. Please feel free to browse these quotes from the Edit page rather than normal viewing. If there are quotes you feel are particularly good, prepend a

symbol to the start of them. If there are quotes you feel are particularly bad, prepend a ~ symbol. Those with several

s will at some point be collected to form a Best Of. Those with several ~s may at some point be removed. Please don't cancel the symbols out: something with "

" is more informative than if it had no markings.
