Optimism quote
I'm afraid I had to remove your quote from Optimism, as it appears to be a personal quote. Wikiquote's purpose is to collect quotations from notable people and creative works, not its editors. It's more like an web version of Bartlett's Famous Quotations than MySpace. You are welcome, however, to add your personal quotes to your user page, User:Bbartelt. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
