\starttext
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.
% Ward: I should find a quote in the extremely well written Rare Earth as well.
% 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)
