[quote]So just-the-facts you must be a big reader then, have like a huge library at home. For me I like to read, but it depends on what the book is about. What kinds of books do you like ?(/quote)

I read lots of things, especially historical stuff. Plus some stephen King and John Grisham for fun. But I donate most of my books to the library.

(quote)Another new quote, that it's one of my favorite ones of all times.

"If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them."

A: Jack Handey
B: Julius Caesar
C: Jimmy Carter
D: Ban Ki-Moon
E: Paul Thomas Mann[/quote]

Got to be Jack Handey. Sounds just like him.

Okay, I gotta throw in a Mythbusters one here. I love this and I recorded it and have it set as a ringtone on my phone. Here's the quote:

(A) Adam Savage
(B) Tory Belleci
(C) Grant Imahara
(D) Kari Byron

Yes, it was Jack Handey. You pretty good at this kinds of quoting game. You must read a tons of books to actually know who is the author of some of my quotes that used around here.

Another new quote.

" The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation’s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us. "

A: Richard Nixon
B: Ronald Reagan
C: John F. Kennedy
D: George W. Bush
E: Vladimir Putin

Very interesting quotation! It's one I've never heard before. As to who authored it, I'm stuck between Jack Kennedy and Richard Nixon, as they are the smartest of the people listed above. If I had to choose, I'd say it was Kennedy, as he had a bit stronger social conscience than Nixon. It also seems to fit with other things Kennedy has said.

Keep them coming, I think this is fun and interesting!

A New Quote:

" Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

A: Ronald Reagan
B: John W. Gardner
C: Napoleon Bonaparte
D: François-Marie Voltaire

That is a GREAT quote! I've never heard it before. In all humility, I will guess Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, I also like this quote very much. We look today the world, a lot of bad people with evil influence trying to end freedom it makes a lot of people think of why we(U.S) fight. Anyways IT was ronald reagan who said that famous quote.

You were a little lost Stalking tiger for a few days busy at work ?

Thanks MicMeister that quote centainly made my day. I agree with it completely.

I was busy working on my novel. I've started to 'string' together plot points and write some first drafts on various chapters to see how it all fits. After all, no matter how fantastic the story is, it must be 'real' for the reader.

So you are like a dan brown mystery/thriller novel writer ? I didn't take you to be a book writer, and what's the main story of the book that you had spent the majority of the days writing ?. I guess that pretty soon, we will see it on the shelves around bookstores.

I've written novels but never a children's book.
My friends talked me into it. It's a story about a group of children who, after having been stranded on an island, discover a ship and repair her to sail their way home. It's during this journey that their true adventure takes place as they struggle to work and survive together. It's a story filled with mystery, magic, and heartfelt wonder.
I'm taking the summer to write it. So far, it's proving to be a good story. It just comes down to whether or not I can write a book for kids. The rules are, of course, different as to how graphic and emotional the content can be.

Who might had said this quote:

" Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. "
