POTN Book Project Contest: Memorable Quotes

A long time ago in a Forum far far away, Lord Malone started a thread with the idea of creating a book containing photos from POTN members.

The Great POTN Book Project has officially gone past the idea stage, and is well into the event stage. The Book will be published and publically available in early April.

One idea we had for the book was to place some "famous" quotes said by members, found in sigs, etc. So if you can know of any memorable quotes on POTN, please list them in this thread. As long as the quote can be found on POTN it's fair game.


Once we build up enough quotes we'll have a contest to pick the favorites for the book. That contest will start 2 weeks from today, on Wednesday December 6, and will run for 2 weeks.


Do you know a good quote? List it below....

"Remember, too, that obsessing about lenses just isn't necessary. They all take great pictures. But if it's fun for you, then do it! Messing around with cameras and lenses is safe, pleasant, legal, and harms no one. All things considered, it doesn't rank very high on the scale of silly vices."
— Mike Johnston (Luminous Landscape)
