This thread is for general discussion of page quotes, whether to change, move or remove them.
Unused quotes should be put on a Quotes Wiki page (just replace the namespace in the URL of the wiki page you are making a quotes page for with Quotes/) or, if they don't have an article, on Quotes Looking for an Article.
Image captions are discussed elsewhere and have their own thread in the Image Pickin' forum.

It's an improvement.
Check out my fanfiction!After the picture on Youngsters was chosen by Image Pickin' I realized how the quote really doesn't fit the page. I can't think of a good quote about general youth so I'd like to just cut the current one.
I feel fairly neutral on it.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI don't mind it.
Check out my fanfiction!I'm also neutral on it.
New York City Cops has two quotes. Can't say that I like either of them especially, but I dislike the first one less.
My alignment is Chaotic Cute.New York City Cops: Don't like either of them much.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanNew York City Cops: The first one is ok, but I think there's probably something better out there.. The second one is pointless. My vote is dump the second one, keep the first until we find a better one, then move it to the Quotes page.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.(...shall I make the change on True Art Is Angsty?)
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableYes, please. I like your suggestion as well.
True Art Is Angsty: Only so-so on the switch; the suggestion sounds like the opposite of the Audience Reaction.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAre you thinking of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy? True Art Is Angsty is about traumatic (and melotraumatic) stories getting critical acclaim.
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableNo, but if Its Not Angsty Its True Art is the same thing as True Art Is Angsty it could work.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThat's over-focusing on the sentence structure. o_O It's still reversing the emotional criticism "I didn't enjoy it because it was too angsty/gloomy" into something intellectually praiseworthy.

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableFieldof Blades has two quotes,both are all blue.
I'm in mind to cut both of them.
New theme music also a boxField of Blades: Ditch the first unsourced quote; the second one can go as well.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanField of Blades: Cut both. Neither one really describes the trope.
My alignment is Chaotic Cute.On the quotes page there is this;
-> Behold! These lifeless keys used to be full of power, united with the hearts of their masters. On this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were locked in combat...as a great Keyblade war raged! —>— Master Xehanort, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

New theme music also a boxIt looks like the current on Field of Blades is two stanzas of the same work rather than two different quotes. But cut it anyway.
^ That... doesn't seem a whole lot better.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Recruiting the Criminal: In favor of the first quote (the proverb) is me, Septimus Heap, and Nocturna. Terrie suggests the Lord Vetinari/Von Lipqig exchange from Making Money. Any other suggestions/votes?
All your safe space are belong to TrumpI say cut the whole quote from Field of Blades (I'm fairly certain that Mad's right, it's two stanzas of one quote). Either way, it's not relevant, and way too long.
Handsome Lech: Shows the Lech part, but I don't really see the Handsome. Especially since (in-context) it's a platonic dinner to try and get his two women-friends to speak.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Recruiting the Criminal: My vote is for the proverb.
Handsome Lech: It kind of works, and I'm not sure how we're going to show "handsome" in aquote.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Much as I like that line from Leverage, go with the proverb.
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableDoes neutral for Youngsters mean to keep until a better quote is suggested?
Crown Description:
What should be the page quote for Monster.Fan Works?
I like that a lot.
