OK, time to try something a little (very little) different.

Rules:

1) You have to supply a quote.
2) This quote must have at least one word in common, or a common source. Words such as "the" and "and" and "I" are not acceptable.
3) Quotes must be at least two words long.
4) Quotes must come from an identifyable, confirmable source.

*modified*

5) If the source for your quote is someone you know, or is anonymous, you must provide a link to another page with the quote on it.
6) You can under no circumstances quote yourself.

Enjoy, everyone.

Well, otherwise, you could just say something, and say, "That's a quote; from ME!"

I thought about that, Shik, though it might make things a little too restrictive. Some people probably wouldn't play if they had to to actual work in the process.

And where is "More power!" from? You didn't list a source.

Since we seem to have lost any semblence of an association in the last few posts, I'm going back to the last quote that was in the continuing thread. You know, we're supposed to follow with a common word or source? Read the rules, people.

I thought you had to use a word from the previous quote in your quote? This "well, it was John Wayne and they were in the same movie" crap doesn't work here, because it's not the rules!! ARGH. Methinks we should either ...

a) post the rules with each quote: "Remember: you must use a word from the above quote (no articles - a, the, etc.) in your quote"

or ...

b) specify which word someone must use in their quote ("you must use the word "hun" in the next quote")

This was the noblest Roman of them all;
All the conspirators save only he
Did that they did in envy of great Caesar;
He only in a general honest thought
And common good to all, made one of them.
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that nature might stand up
And say to all the world, "This was a man!"
