I guess it's okay if I go on cheating then? 
#141 is William Somerset Maugham.

All other contestants wait we have an answer coming in all the way from the other side of the universe.
The answer is correct.
Congratulations contestant Ottox. (Though the quotes you get without your babelfishes help must be more rewarding - or is it a Googlefish)
Hej elwood!
Ottox Posted Jun 7, 2002
Well, is this quiz about knowledge or speed?
Good question what's most rewarding actually. Of course it doesn't feel good to cheat *rolls eyes 
*, but on the other side... that's when I learn something new, which is something I really like. If it's a quote I know or can guess without problems, then there's not much fun about it. If it's something I'm not sure about or something I didn't know but *should* know, then it's good to find out. If it's a quote from a person I've never heard about before, then I really learn something new (because as you'll have noticed I usually try to find out more than just the name, I want to know who the person is.)

Well that's an excellent answer.
So you shall be awarded 10 mostly useless bonus points.
It's always QuoteQuizes producers hope to entertain AND educate, so it's gratifying to hear that in some small way we here at "The Game That's sweeping the Universe" are doing our small part to uplift humanity. (but we cheated and stole this game from someone else)
Hej elwood!
Ottox Posted Jun 7, 2002
YAY!!! Useless bonus points! 
There's also another good reason for cheating. If I didn't do it, I couldn't answer, and as there's very little competition here at the moment, you'd just once again think that nobody was interested in the quiz anymore and be sad. Can't have that!

Host - Hey I only know the answers because they're written on the back of the question cards here!
(and confessions are in the CatholicQuoteQuiz in the studio next door)

Doesn't cheat ...
Bobby Kennedy!
Okay, so I cheated ...
Hej elwood!

Who said cheaters never prosper? Wait! That's not the new QuoteQuiz.
Well cheated Shea. Congratulations on #142.
