I looked on a newsgroup for quotes a few days ago... found like 3 quotes! it was kinda sucky... looks like ascii art is better! Im currently on http://www.chris.com/ascii/ and have found a tun (im working on the letter B right now, and have about 50 text windows open!) it will take a while to compile all this together, and put % signs in the proper places :(
The ascii art will likely be the best one, I have something like 1300 palendromes!
