Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Ladies and gentlemen, the second installment of ‘The Quotation Vexation Sensation’ is back by tepid demand!
The sequel features quotes from language masters T.S. Eliot, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen and Abraham Lincoln. Can you tell which of the four is responsible for select sayings?
Take The Quotation Vexation Sensation

67%. Not too bad considering I have seen exactly one Woody Allen movie and have zero interest in Bob Dylan.

Hey, 58%. Considering that I’m not really familiar with any of those folks, I’m pretty pleased.

25%… Yep… basicially the chance of getting it right by purely guessing!

67% (8 outa 12) Not too shabby, I must say. The really interesting quote is, “If I’m two faced, would I be wearing this one?” It sounds so modern I thought it had to be Woody or Dylan. Who knew that old Abe was THAT far ahead of a thinker for his time?

There must be a mistake. 83%?! I guess that’s about how much of the time I listen to what people are saying.
