Subject: Re: quotation collection

Hi all: 
 
Forgive my longtime lurker status, things being what they are these
days; I also apologize for multiple mailings of this post. As some of
you might know, I have a large stash of archaeology quotations on my
website here: 
 
http://archaeology.about.com/od/quotations/a/quotations.htm
 
Mitch Allen has convinced me that a collection of quotations about the
past and archaeology might make an interesting and useful book for his
Left Coast Press. I'd like to add more to my collection anything that
y'all might suggest. I'd need a full citation--but I'm willing to do
some searching  if it's a keeper.  
 
So--does anybody have any additional quotes that you've loved and used
over the years? I'm thinking the kind of stuff that you print out and
attach to your peg board. If so, send them along! Please pass this on to
anyone who might be interested. 
 
Much thanks in advance, 
 
Kris
