Hi Easter,

If you can confirm these quotes are family-friendly and non-offensive,
also in religious terms, (nothing like "God is dead ~Nietzsche")
please post your answer in the answer spot. I'm not so sensitive
myself but understand for every offensive quote I will get emails
complaining if I publish them in a quiz on my site.

I think there will be some religious sensitivity in some of the
quotes. So I will let other researchers take a crack at this one.

Thanks!
