I gather most of them myself, you have got to remember that I am a bit
of an old b*st*rd and have been reading books on philosophy, religion,
history and art since I were a nipper.  some I know of by heart, others
I can remember partly and where I read it and google for the exact
quote.  I do wish I could remember more practical things.  Sometimes I
stumble across a site with a load of good quotes and use the ones I
like.

I often like the sig I see in other peoples posts but I like my own to
highlight a point I have made, even if like above it is to slap my self
about for been a pratt.

No my full time job is to stare at a browser running BB and think "yep
it is still working" which gives me plenty of time to search for the
right quote for my sig. ;-)

What would impress me is if I could live and write the life I quote or
even get good enough at coding to write a script to automate some of
work involved.

Peace Jim
