Spirited Quotes

...a work in progress...

There is sometimes a need for a good cocktail related quote, and you can spend far too much time searching for just the right one. Perhaps if we build up a page to allow us to add those gems when we find them it will be useful to all.

Preferably this set of quotes will focus on the type that we might find particularly useful and/or interesting. Quotes from our peers would be great, the commonly heard quotes from celebrities and historical figures, perhaps less so.

We may need to figure out a good way to organize them once the list gets long, but for now perhaps just a free-for-all pattern will work.
