Basically, one person posts a quote, saying who said it (maybe linking if the quote isn't believable), the person under that replies to it with another quote. We might be seeing some great new sigs, to boot.

Such as:
User 1: "Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change." - Confucius
User 2: "Change is the law of life" - Kennedy


Here I go:

"The end justifies the means"
- Machiavelli

You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.
