Ummmm, I don't really get the format of the quotes. It has the quote, then a descriptor of the quote. A person can read the quote, then say "yes, I agree, this is about love." But it doesn't really do much for them. It would make more sense to start with the descriptor, then below it have the quote. IMHO67.165.197.109 07:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not "descriptors" listed beneath the quotes in the Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow section. They are titles of the articles contained within the work. ~ UDScott 11:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
