“A witty saying proves nothing.” —Voltaire

“Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.” —Oscar Wilde

“It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.” —Mark Twain

I once had several more, but that copy of QUOTES.TXT is surely nested many diskimages deep on a mechanically unsound and technically primitive hard drive somewhere in the strata of my personal archæology.

Perhaps you have some to trade?
