Game: The Quote Game, Quotes from everywhere Options

[NickTheGreek]

Ok, starting another game :

This one will by far be the most educating

What we need here is each member posting a quote he heard or read ( please use search engines to write down the quote correctly if not identical ) AND ALSO THE PERSON it belongs.

When somebody posts a quote from a PERSON, that person is FORBIDDEN to be quoted again. If a member posts the same quote or a quote from a person quoted before, is out of the game !

START :

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and
that is not being talked about

This means that Oscar Wilde can't be quoted any more !

They thrive on visual imagery and stimulation; these "attention deficit" kids can spend hours with computer and CD-ROM programs that mirror their thought processes. It's no wonder they are attracted to computers. The use of computers is congruent with the way right-brained children think."
