One of the things I have always liked about White Wolf is that they include real life quotes in all of their books. As I am in college and can't afford any of their books, does anybody have a list of all of the quotes they use and where they put them? Don't put any information from the books or copyrighted stuff, just write down the quote and where they put it, because i'm always curious about how people use quotes. Thanks alot and if anybody is also interested let me know. Personally i'm coming up with a list of quotes for summing up D&D
