Student: Master, tell me something that will make me laugh if I am crying?

Master: Just contemplate the meaning of these words: "And this too shall pass."

I wouldn't call it a quote fetish, per se. But I did create a Quotes table in my database to try to give myself an incentive to start keeping track of quotes. I always come across quotes I'd like to save but I never save them. I also subscribe to the quotes of the day RSS feed.
