Impact of a quote:
All of us have been in a social situation where someone blurted out a string of words that caught your attention. Maybe something that at least lingered with you for the night? These gems of the English language are called quotes. Some people have made their mark on history with a great quote that can last through the ages, providing insight, or inspiration, or perhaps stir the intellect.
A quote is an interesting thing. It is said by someone who means one thing and is heard or repeated by someone else, at times meaning something completely different. Politicians constantly use rivals quotes to prove the exact OPPOSITE of the rivals positions AND bolster their own.
Personally I think comedic quotes are the best. I remember back in college we had a white board where we would put a list of great quotes we heard throughout the year. Some were inspirational, some gross, some witty and some left you saying, "What?" The last ones were always my favorite because they had the "inside joke" feeling to them but left everyone else lost. These quotes were fantastic, invariably some inebriation whould play some part in there creation.

Here's some so far:
"It's only pudding"
"I love alcoholic fruit "
"Mother Chucker "
"Bitch.. just bring me a cardigan "
"I'm sorry, I'm about to ask the stupidest question, but do you work in a hospital? "
