Quotes, am I right?

Every now and then, a quote comes along and stops you in your tracks. For me, it was the time Barney informed us all that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated. That was deep, even for a dinosaur.

Our brains are trained to believe that a piece of text beside a famous person is a genuine quote. However, this isn’t always the case.

Here’s 10 extremely fake quotes I’ve concocted.
