I found a disc in my basement of a Microsoft program from 1998 that still runs somehow and it's basically a virtual encyclopedia but also there's a "quick quote" feature where there's a fuckton of keywords and you can choose a keyword and it'll show a bunch of related quotes that you can just copy and paste. Like there's one from the OJ Simpson trial and (positive!!!!!) ones about homosexuality and quotes from the IRA and it's just. Wowee this is a long lost treasure trove that I will be deep diving into for the next twelve hours bc I can and will be restructuring some of these quotes for my personal writing projects bc they're bangers
