I didn’t want to report on the books I was reading, so I made up books for my reports, coming up with a title, an author, a theme, and the major characters.
— Judy Blume, recalling her elementary school days

Reminds me of my high school days. A night before the English exam, I would read Khalil Gibran to shift into writing mode. In my essays and analysis of poems, I would then make up quotes using rich metaphors and attribute them to random people. The hardest part was always coming up with names. As tempting as it always is to use Mary Jane, Chuck Norris or Madame Bovary, a safer choice is Kevin Witt. ;-)

My favourite name for attributing quotes to was always “Dr. T. J. H. Janjua”. (Of course, it was always convenient that these are the initials of a good friend of mine!)
