The Project - I Need Your Help...

A full list of topics may be seen here.

Hello, my friends.

I’m currently working on a little project, but what I need is your help. What I’m asking you to do is to make up either funny or serious quotes on certain subjects that I’ll be posting several times a day on both my main Facebook page and blog fan page. I will continue to do this until I have enough of the quotes I need. (I will be asking for help thirty or forty times).

Why am I asking you to do this? Well, first off, I’d like to have you all involved in my project—and second—if I use quotes by famous people without permission, it’s most likely a violation of copyright.

If you would like to submit a quote, two, three, or even more on any given subject, that would be appreciated. I’ll be using the quotes that best fit the subject matter (and by posting your made-up quote, you are giving me permission to use it). I will—of course—give you credit by first name if I use your quote in the project.

Please don’t be offended if yours isn’t chosen, but be creative and keep on submitting them. Ask your grandparents to make something up, your kids, or somebody else you think could come up with a good one. Just make sure that you provide their name (the first is all I need) if you’re submitting one for them.

Remember though, I can’t use quotes by famous people…I need your quotes!

I’m sure this goes without saying, but please keep your quotes to a G or PG rating.

Below are some of the quotes I wanted to use, but like I said before, copyright violations aren't any fun.

Oh, and I will be deleting the posts on Facebook a few hours/a day after I post them so that they aren't cumbering up the pages. I will copy over the quotes that are the most applicable.
