I want to know who picks the quotes. They do a brilliant job.

I love quotes anyway, and they use them so such good effect on the show.

These quotes were very appropriate. I love the quotes.

I have heard the closing quote before and have always loved it. Very appropriate choice!

Ditto, ditto! Love the quotes. I do not even like episodes that only have the one. I define the start and end of an episode by the message of the quotes.

I like the irony of the Thomas Paine quote. Like, yeah, everyone wants the world to be less violent for their children, but will it ever happen? As Gideon said, "Good luck with that."

I think the only two who have not recited quotes are Garcia and Prentiss. Is that right? I think Morgan has had a quote before.

I have to agree about when there is only one quote...it makes you feel naked on one foot. :)

DaVinci's quote has stuck with me since last night. I liked it.

I would guess the writers pick the quotes and that has to be really hard. They come up with some really unique ones. They do a good job. I like the quotes.

On a random sidenote, anyone know where to find a sweater like JJ's in the Distress episode? I'm kinda liking it!

I wonder if they just go through the Bartlett book of quotes to find all these. they must have a team of people putting these together.
