Take turns in writing down a famous quote you like or know! Come Read! (((OPEN!!))

[Introduction]
This is my 2nd campfire that isn't like your traditional campfire. What you have to do is very simple. Basically, all you need to do is write down a famous quote, and have the name of the person of the quote. That's it! Have your quote in bold or in italics or both for the quote to show more. Ok enjoy!

To be or not to be, that is the question.

-Hamlet (William Shakespeare)

Comment: For people who don't know how to type in bold italics. For bold you type it as this.

(take out space, this is just so that it won't actually turn bold)

{ b } "your quote here" { / b }

For italics it's this:

{ i } "Quote here" { / i }

again remove spaces when actually putting quote.

Which is very lucky for us; because it means that, whatever other perils humanity may face in the future that lies ahead, boredom is not among them.

How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold.
