Favorite Quote, Not Favorite Book

I was playing around on facebook today and I ended up stumbling through some of my friends "Favorite Quotes" section.  Can it really be your favorite quote when it takes up half of the space in my web browser.  Seriously, if it's more than 30 words, it's no longer a quote, it's a rant, dialog or blathering.

Quotes are something to be remembered, enjoyed and able to quickly throw in your friends face to prove a point.  After 30 words, your friend is not convinced or shamed.  Instead they are laughing at your ridiculous attempt to insult them. 

For instance, one of my favorite quotes is "Hope is the denial of reality".  Short, to the point and of course, said by a Fantasy character.  Mind you it's very rarely won me or been used in an argument.  But at least when people started laughing at me I was at least done saying the quote.  Can't say the same for ...

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says,".....that's her."

The best part is I didn't even add the ..., it was added by the person who put it up on facebook.
