I know we have done these kinds of threads before and I love them.

I'm looking for quotes for a scrapbook page about girlfriends. But anything you feel like sharing would be great!

I'm glad you posted this, Rosie, because I wanted to ask you about your quote (tag line).

BOB

He actually was an obscure philosopher/wit out of the 18th century quoted by I think Umberto Eco... though I can't in which book. Maybe in Foccaults Pendulum. Or maybe I read it in Richard Feynman's "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out" (which is a really good read, BTW).

And I'm glad you asked this because it turns out I was misspelling his name :o . It's actually Boscoe Pertwee.
