If someone knows what it's from, they identify where it's from (author, actor, title, etc) & then post their own quote.
As example:
poster #1: To be, or not to be?
poster #2: From the play Hamlet.
Get thee to a nunnery!
...And so on.
Stick to mass-circulated references, avoid things that only only locals in your area will get or are too obscure (such as, "My bud Chet said it in Home Ec last week.")

| I love Halloween. The one time of year when everyone wears a mask... not just me. People think it's fun to pretend you're a monster. Me, I spend my life pretending I'm not. Brother, friend, boyfriend - all part of my costume collection. Some people might call me a fraud. Let's see if it will fit. I prefer to think of myself as a master of disguise. |
For fans of the show, I'll throw an bonus easy quote so you don't have to waste time with the Google... "Blood. Sometimes it sets my teeth on edge, other times it helps me control the chaos. The Code of Harry, my foster father, is satisfied and so am I."
