- It's divided by topics, such as "Love", "Politics/Law", "Science", etc...
- This includes the "Misc" topic and the "Uncategorized" topic which is due
- largely to laziness or uncertainty.
- Within each topic, the quotes are alphabetical by speaker, unless unknown in
- which case they're at the end. There is no cross-referenced list of speakers.
-
- At the time I started it, this seemed like the best way to do it, and I've
- left it as such with minor revisions.
