Quote of the Day (In Eric's absence posted by Scott)

"But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!"

I excluded the source info just as Eric, because I like the mystery of his methods. I’ll email it to you if you really want it.

I think Scott may be trying to gentley jibe you into adding a source to your qoute's.
A qoute after all is not technicly a quote unless it's been sited.

I really do like the idea of a “semi-hidden” source. It seems that we are less likely to draw concrete conclusions to a dialog when we are not being prompted by what we think we know about an author or subject. As an example, when I read the book A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole I neglected to read the forward (as usual) and skipped ahead to the main story. When I had completed the story, and found my self consumed by much of the stories detail, and so hungry for more I returned to the forward and read it in is entirety. Had I read it first I don’t think I would have seen the entirety of the author’s humor in the story. For me the foreword was a real flowering of concept in John Toole’s tail. It showed me that some times with out intention I draw conclusion to things before I really consider them blindly. I agree with Pete “A quote after all is not technically a quote unless it's been sited.” However having it hidden at least temporarily can offer a rather unique perspective.
