Quirky Quote Contest 2008

It is that time again for the Quirky Quote Contest - 2008 Edition. It was almost a year ago when we had our last one. This year's prize is a $15 Amazon gift card. The rules are pretty much the same:

1. Post your favorite quote to your blog by midnight on Friday, February 22nd, in an entry entitled "Quirky Quote Contest Entry" and link to it using "Mr. Linky" below.
   Your quote may be from anywhere - a song, movie, book, famous speech. The quote can be political, religious, politically incorrect, and otherwise controversial - but please keep it family friendly. (Hey - my kids and friends kids occasionally read this blog! They are usually bored to tears - but sometimes they read and even comment!) The quotes do not have to be quirky as the contest name suggests.
   
2. PLEASE READ OTHER ENTRIES PRIOR TO SUBMISSION - the second submission of same quote will not be eligible.
   
3. I will host a voting time from February 23rd - 27th – so come back and vote for your favorite quotes.
4. Post on your blog and put up a button if you like about the “contest” and tell others to come and enter - Here is the link to grab a button or banner on Flickr. If you need help with this, please let me know.
   
5. You may enter this contest twice - every other contest says only once, but why be like the rest! So a two quote limit for you - but please post them as separate entries for my sake!
   
6. Contest winner will be announced on Thursday, February 28th - which is also my birthday! I decided it would be pretty cool to give a prize on my birthday.
   

Voting will be a little different this time around - as the poll I am using will restrict one vote for every IP address. So, be thoughtful and careful when voting time comes around. Our winner last year was Karen who received a template tweaking that is still looking good.

The quotes do not have to originate with you. Please be sure to attribute them correctly. Here is an awesome quote, appropriately about love, since yesterday was Valentine's Day, to get you started:

Love is not an affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained. -C.S. Lewis

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at julientexas AT sbcglobal DOT net.
I also cannot stress strongly enough how important it is for you to link to your actual post where your quote is, and not just your blog in general. It is very difficult to weed through a lot of other posts to find your entries. It will make my job easier, and get your entry more recognition as other contestants follow the links to survey the competition!

Have fun! Now let the quoting begin!
