Dear fellow rockhounds...

I have no idea what the problem is.
Quotes (ALL OF THEM) are nothing less than brainfarts from famous people,
inspired by an event that has been long forgotten. Lesser people use and
abuse them until they become meaningless. 
In fact, if you look upon a quote, it consists of words and has no meaning
whatsoever outside the time and place it was first uttered by someone who
was probably in a state of being overwhelmed and pressed into saying
something to span the moment of awkwardness that arises from too many people
looking at one and awaiting some catchy phrase.
I will now produce a quote to put under my name. Enjoy, and please, for
Pete's sake, get back to rocks.

Axel
