I'm reading Hamlet right now, and just came across "The lady doth protest too much, methinks," usually misquoted as "Methinks [he/she] doth protest too much." Same meaning. <br /><br />I do get pedantic about movie misquotes, if I know the real one, however. "Play it, Sam" is the correct version of "Play it again, Sam."

Because I feel, the quotes are for inspiration. As long as they continue to inspire, it shouldn't be a bother.

I don't use them, yet I know them. Sometimes in my posts I'll add in something apposite, but I do enjoy reading them. My memory has never been very good for that sort of thing - but I enjoy them. I love KP's thought above ... it doesn't matter who says it - if it's particularly relevant at that time.
