Just curious, what is reason for the " % " to be included.

Perhaps it's the entries delimiter in the quotes file.

This is the exact code you need to copy to get your quotes to appear as above. Just cut-n-paste.
Don't forget to replace "Insert your quote here." with something actually interesting though.

EDIT: Spelling.

[DarkCloud]

Nikolai- Nietzsche is ususally spelled with a Z in English... apologies on correcting you since your norsk is probably better than ming, but it's true

[vovan]

Ummm... Not that I am an expert on English or anything, but I think the guy's name is correctly spelled as Nietzsche, or so the google directory of phylosophers says. ( http://directory.google.com/Top/Soci...riedrich/?tc=1 )

Okay, now it is time for some geeky programmer's quotes.

Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Just one. But it takes him all night. And when he's done, the refrigerator and toilet are broken!

This is an object-oriented system. If we change anything, the users object.

%

Before C++ we had to code all of bugs by hand; now we inherit them.

%

C gives you enough rope to hang yourself. C++ also gives you the tree object to tie it to.

%

C++ is like teenage sex, because:
It is on everyone's mind all the time. 
Everyone talks about it all the time. 
Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it. 
Almost no one is really doing it. 

The few who are doing it are: 
Doing it poorly. 
Sure it will be better next time. 
Not practicing it safely. 
Everyone's bragging about their successes all the time, although very few have actually had any

The next one is one of my all-time favourites:

-Alfred Hitchcock

I might have seen the next one from this very site, so I apologize if it is already in, but it's a good one nonetheless:

Oh, and of course, one of my favourite quotes from Nietzsche:

Noone has ever died of truth: there are too many antidotes.
    -- Friedrich Nietzsche

[Martin Gühmann]

Even if these quotes are posted at the right place they were never added, so why Marcos?

2100 BC: The first order of business is to learn what really happened to the late Apolyton XVII. A drunken barbarian , captured outside Memphis, and is cooked slowly over an open fire. (This procedure is called "barbaricueing".) The spit-roast protests that there had been an "unfortunate hunting accident", but after further basting he reveals that the barbarian warriors were hunting marsupials. Her-mann cries to the Sun God for vengeance! 
--Hermann the Lombard as Her-mann V, Apolyton XVIII of Egypt: The Empire of Ra (CTP2 Succession Game V)
%

Immortal Wombat: I got a weird result when I set it up to return the unit's defence value. I got hoplites that wouldn't die. It killed a tank.
Peter Triggs: So, IW, another Civ3 feature that we can import into CTP2.
