This document is Copyright 2000 by Richard Uyeyama. Duplication of this document (in part or in whole) without permission of author is strictly prohibited. A few notes: Number or quality of quotes is not necessarily any indication of the quality (or fun factor) of the game from which they were taken. Some quotes are fairly context-driven. The compiler is not responsible for the reader's understanding or appreciation of the quotes herein. =) Quotes are not necessarily guaranteed to be 100% verbatim (or accurate in every way), though the compiler does strive to keep them as accurate as possible. Finally, if I've made any obvious mistakes (name spellings, or quote attributions, or whatever), please let me know, so I can correct them! A specific note on Katie Karnage quotes: Since standard ascii doesn't actually have a heart-dotted "i", please note that the "i" in all instances of Katie's name, as well as any "i" that appears in any of her quotes, should be considered to have been dotted with a little heart shape. =) And now, on with the quotes!
