I found a quote in a book I am reading that I wanted to add to the quote generator which is currently out of order. I will forget unless I put it somewhere. So here is the thread to write down your quotes for submission to the quote generator when it comes back.

I will add mine when I get back home where the book is. :yup:

I am uncomfortable with the word 'slather'

Incidentally, the new version supports BB code, so you can finally underscore, italicize and boldify.

I rather like this one, and have been sitting on it for a while:

On two occasions I have been asked,--"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.-Charles Babbage

I had this one in the generator, but for some reason it was deleted during the upgrade:

Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is.-Pál Erdős

An oldy but goody:

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm no apologist for vm. I still hold him entirely morally accountable for all of his atrocities--both those he's committed directly, and those committed in his name. When he's finally pilloried on the town square, I'll elbow my way to the front of the crowd to be the first to throw tomatoes at him and draw curly little French moustaches on him in permanent marker.
