Alright I'm gonna take one more stab at this.I'm 99% sure it's an author someone I've read, but a long time ago I'll guess Oscar Wilde.

No one's gotten it so far. Another hint or have you had enough? 
HINT: Well, let's go crazy. Sageridder was close in that the author was Irish (like Oscar Wilde).
Also, he won a Nobel Prize in 1925 and died in 1950. Oh, and one last hint...
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
He wrote Pygmalion!

I think he's talking about your sig....
Not a lot of fans of dead Irish guys I'd guess here....
I did google it and find it, but I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise.
Why don't you put another quote....

Sure. The answer to that one was George Bernard Shaw.
Hmm, let's do another quote about quotes...
"Stay at home in your mind. Don't recite other people's opinions. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
Edit: actually, this one might be a bit too hard. So I'm also leaving a hint...
Hint: American dead guy this time. 1803-1882.

Ulysses S Grant?
and that's only due to the date range... I have no idea...
you sir, have an extensive range of quotes.... Do you really keep those somewhere in your head, or do you look them up?
Edit: Nice quote by the way, if kind of an oxymoron...

No, it wasn't Grant. I had thought that he was later than my guy, actually. But I looked it up, and even though he was born later, he died in 1885, which was pretty close to when my guy died. I hadn't realized that the author here had actually lived for so long...
Anyway, quotations about quotations amuse me (understandably so, I think). I did have them both in my head, since a year or so ago I had been searching for as many quotes on the subject of quotes as I could find, but I looked them up in a book to make sure I had them right before I posted them. And I did not necessarily memorize all the biographical info on these guys that I posted, I mean, I'm all about having some trivia available for special occasions, but I'm not a walking encyclopedia!
This one, I think is particularly cool, because its author is a very quoted man. Isn't that a fun contradiction?
