      • William Blake — 'Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.'

        I actually had "joys" and "sorrows" filled in, but couldn't get the rest. I gave up, but looked it up later. Maybe if I get it again, I will be able to complete it! Sheesh, that was brutal.

                • I had one last month from the movie Finding Forrester. Spoiled my 100%. Couldn't get it but if anyone recalls it I'd love to know what it was.

                    I remember getting that one awhile ago, but can't remember the quote now. If I get it again, I'll post it here.

                    • The only Finding Forrester quote I can remember is this: "Writers write things to give readers something to read". I liked that one.

                        • Thanks, but that wasn't it. I recall it had a hyphenated word.

                            • "I'm not the type to get ulcers. I give them." - Edward Koch

                              It doesn't seem very hard at first glance, but by the time you get to "I'm not the type to get ___e_s. I give them.", it's really hard to progress.
