+The sample directory contains a few files with quotes that can be used
+while testing styles.
+
+I'll complete this file when I've reorganized my books and audio cd's.
+
+If someone makes a nice bibtex file of these, the quotes can also be
+used in testing bibliographic references and citations.

+% Tufte: This quote will always produce hyphenated text, apart from the content,
+% it's a pretty good test case for protruding.
+
+% Reich: This is a list of the voice samples from Steve Reich's 1995 composition City Life.
+
+% Ward: I should find a quote in the extremely well written Rare Earth as well. All Wards
+% books excell.
+
+% A Short History of Nearly Everything: I wish that I had the memory to remember this book
+% verbatim.
+
+% Chaos and Harmony: very nice and well written book, but the typography is rather bad:
+% quite visible inter-character spacing in a text that can be typeset quite well by \TeX.
+
+% The Universe in a Nutshell: a beautiful designed book, (companion of A Short History
+% of Time).
+
+% The World Without Us: A properly typeset, very readable book. Read it and you'll look at
+% the world around you differently (and a bit more freightened).
+
+% Dirt, The Erosion of Civilizations: one of those books that you buy immediately after
+% reading a few sentences. Also one of those books that every politician should read.
+
+% The Making of the Fittest: nice sample for color ans subsentence testing. A very
+% readable book but unfortunately it has inter-character spacing.
+
+% The Schwarzenegger letter was originally typeset at a width equivalent to 16.1cm in
+% a default ConTeXt setup.
