Paul F Boller & John George "They Never Said It" (Oxford University Press)









The authors detail a long list of quotes attributed to famous individuals, but which were never spoken by those individuals, or which are commonly taken out of context. A good reference for anyone trying to determine if attribution on a quote is accurate; however, because the world of quote creation is a constantly churning one, there are going to be any number of false quotes that have not been included in this book, partially because they were made up too recently. The mere failure of a quote to be included in this collection, therefore, should not be taken as indicative that it is, in fact, accurate. In addition ,the authors make no claim to being exhaustive.

So by typing my name first with the surname and then my first name it comes up with these -



Your Name is White

Your name tells people that you have good intentions and a pure heart. You try to always speak the truth.
You are happy to step back and let other people shine. You don't seek attention or acclaim.

People see you as someone who is generous and ethical. You can be counted on to do the right thing.
You are bright and clear headed. You can offer a fresh perspective, especially when other people are in a rut.






Your Name is Green

Your name tells people that you are harmonious and balanced. You've got it together, and it shows.
You are hopeful and optimistic. You know it's not over until it's over, and you keep fighting until the end.

People see you as peaceful to the point of being zen. You won't allow anything to get under your skin.
You struggle with envy at times, but you never let it show. You believe that jealousy is a weakness, and you try not to let yourself indulge in it.





And then my moniker - davesmusictank - it gives me white again. Well, that was a bit of a let down and then i entered my DJ name - DJ Jazzy D - and it gave me this -

Your Name is Purple

Your name tells people that you are polite and cultured. You are well mannered and always act appropriately.
Compared to most people, you have a much broader view of the world. You are truly cosmopolitan.

People see you as wise and civilized. No matter how bad things get, you always keep your head.
If someone angers you, you try not to lower yourself to their level. Fighting and insults are beneath you.
