I have a habit of writing down the funny, poingant, and striking things that folks say in my presence. I note them in my moleskine, or write them on scraps of paper, and repeat them to others when conversation wanes.
Not everyone likes to be quoted, but most people take care to help get the phrasing right. The best ones are funny or moving even out of context. Above are three quotes, randomly generated.
Also, if someone is quoted above, and would rather it not appear on this website, don't hesitate to say so.
Not all of these quotes are from friends. Some have been collected from actual literature or off the air from NPR, or other sources. Check out the whole quote file. There is also a page of quotes taken from friends in Sixteen Feet. I'll take care in the future to note when and where they come from. The art of quoting is a subtle and transient talent that I have yet to master.
