    I usually know the quotes but have no idea where they come form, and usually they are from movies!

      Wow - that's a well-known quote! Quotes aren't my thing, but I knew that one immediately - and maybe there are more I recognize. But, like Tony Peters said, I think for me that they'd most likely be from a movie.

    You all don't have to remember the quote, just go to a book and find it or if you can't remember search for it.

    I actually did a google for mine because I couldn't remember it completely and the quote did show up.

    Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught up in her charms as the Tarleton twins were.
