Quotes Returns

(The second batch of quotes. Completed in 1997. Same as the first batch, I'll take out some, if not all of the Tagalog quotes.)

Hi! Boys and girls. Here I am again. I told you, "When there's a first, there's a second." Again, you will read quotes that maybe you have read before. Some of these are like the first ones, expressions, great ideas, plain stupidity or just a slip of the tongue.

Before I begin, I am not going to thank everybody because I just did during the first one, instead, I would like to thank you, the readers, this time, so don't expect me to thank you in the next one. And I know that there's going to be one.

Well, again, that's it for the second batch. It looks a bit shorter that the first one but it's good enough for me. There will be a third one, take note of that. I'm not gonna describe the next one because that'll be giving things away. I want to have a little bit of suspense (Just in case you haven't noticed, the next one would still be quotations). And for my so-long-quote, I leave you with the famous line from the movie, Terminator, which is, "I'll be back."

Quotes

(This is one of my older works. Completed in 1997, this literally launched by writing career. Career, what a word. It took me a while to compile all of the quotes. I got the Idea from a game I played. I forgot the name of the game. C'mon, it was more than a decade ago. I took out some of the quotes because the entire thing is 15 pages long and most of it is in Tagalog so many of you might not understand.)

Greetings! This compilation of quotations is nothing more than a bunch of bologna. Everything that you will read is true, therefore, you must take it as it is and don't bother changing any. That's why they're called quotes, lame brain. However, if you would like to disagree with me, feel free to shut up.

Before anything else, I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this compilation though some of them are already dead and some never really existed. My friends whose names sometimes appear more than once. My Instructors who sometimes don't have the slightest idea of what they're saying. The really great people who have said great things that make us more human. Of course, who would forget the man named Anonymous, for without his words, we will not be enlightened. My relatives. And of course, myself. Hey, I did something, too.

Well, I guess that's it for the first batch. There will be a second batch, of course, because if there's a first, there's a second and a third, etc., and because quotes come and don't go. They keep coming. You might not notice it but that thing that you are thinking now might be the next stupid quote to be written here. No offence but it's true. You might say something stupid enough to be written here or maybe something that sounds so good and complicated that it makes me say, 'Duh!.'
