This is a simple game in which you share a quote you find interesting with the rest of the community. Thanks to Thinkexist.com, I've found a ton that I like. Here is just one of them.

Not inspiring, but definitely my favourite quote of the last few days. XD

To Cy: LOL!

Aw man, that Tolkein one about defense is awesome. I might actually revive "quote of the Random Time Unit".
