If there is anyone else who quotes things at random times to explain their point.
I for example quote shakespeare on two different occasions:
1 when a person can't understand whats going on: "There is more to life then you and i can contemplate Horatio
2 Just generally "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players, they have their entrances and their exits and one man in his life my play many parts.

I don't quote "thinks" but I quote things.

I've pulled out a few Shakespeare quotes before (must be the English major in me). I also tend to quote from The Big Lebowski, which tends to get strange looks at guys who don't expect some chick to pull off a pretty good Dude impersonation. I have a photographic memory, which makes for an interesting repertoire of quotes from books, movies, plays, TV shows, and games. Very few people understand what I'm quoting, though, so I keep them to myself unless I'm with close friends or family.

I don't know enough quotes off the top of my head to use them, really. So I just make my own up, and that usually works.

"When my love swears to me that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies."
My favorite Shakespeare quote.

I do tend to quote Shakespeare. Quite a lot, actually; it can get quite embarassing when nobody else has any idea what you're talking about.

Other than that, I regularly quote Hitchhiker's Guide, Red Dwarf, and Star Wars. I could probably write out 90% of the script for A New Hope from memory, provided you gave me enough time.

Me too, I'd never quote a book. Most people are astoundingly un-educated to even understand literature. Trust me, where I live, you're clever if you've read 'Where's Wally?'.

Please, please, please don't quote Shakespeare until you can spell it correctly. It actually causes me pain to see people spell his work incorrectly.

It is actually not my fault i can't spell properly as i tend to say things right but spell them wrong. As long as the beginnig and end look right i see no prob even if there is one.

Yeah, if I can find a quote from TV, film comedians etc, I'll use it.
A case of 'I have a shot; I'm taking it!'

It is usually from Family Guy etc, Scarface, Die Hard or Star Wars... jeez, I need to get a life...
