OK, here's a challenge to conventional thinking; why is it that most famous quotations happen to have been made by famous people? Philosophers, poets, industry magnates, actors, writers and so on. What about all the bite-sized philosophy and profound observational skills of people who are not 'clasically' famous? Furthermore, there seems to be a finite number of famous quotations out there with only very few new ones being added. Time for change.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this very lunchtime I've discovered an exciting new market, a market for quotations made by people who are not famous. The tickler being that if you're quotation is good enough it will gradually become famous and will ultimately drag you into to infamy with it, thus rendering your quotation unworthy of inclusion in the book of quotations by people who are not famous. Ahem. Those will go into another book entitled "Famous Quotations By People Who Were Not Famous When They Made Them But Who Quite Liked The Idea Of Becoming Famous One Day By Making Up A Potentially Famous Quotation"
So, to start us off here's Unfamous Quotations entry number #1....
Enter your own pearls of wisdom in Comments and I'll collate them into a proper page, famous obscurity possibly followed by untold fame awaits you...
