Although genre specific, don't count out the dialogue between Ford and
Zaphod in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' . . . 

FORD:		All right, but I take it you're not here for the sheer
industrial archeology.  What are you after?

ZAPHOD:	Well, it's partly the curiosity, partly a sense of adventure, but
mostly I think it's the fame and money.

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
