20 Quotes

Greetings, dear colleagues, from the Center of the Universe. Today I want to throw something your way and see what happens. I've gathered up 20 quotes and listed them, in no particular order, for your assessment. I ask that you read through them, and then if you think you know who might have said the quote, visit the comments page, and let me know who by indicating which number of the quote with the author you feel said it. It should be interesting and I will monoblogue about your responses at a future time.
