Switching Coasts! Also a spring game: Quotes Illustrated

Hi LJ!  Big news:  I'm switching coasts.  There are a lot of reasons why, and there is especially one reason: a gentleman who has been sending me puzzles for almost a year now (among other ways of keeping in touch. ;-)  His name is Rafael, and he is a current student at Stanford, so moving to be only an hour's drive away from him (Berkeley) instead of 2500 miles away is... exciting. :)

But I'm still wrapping up here in NY/NJ for the next few months and I could definitely use a little fun distraction during that time.  Also, I haven't organized a crazy experiment/game in a long while! So....

QUOTES ILLUSTRATED

This game is motivated by wanting to

  1. Know which pieces of books most stand out to my friends.

  2. Do art -- watercolor in particular -- I just acquired a watercolor kit and I want to play with it. :)

If you have a quote, please add it in the comments below (with which # you'd like it placed at 1-15) and I will illustrate it -- I'm going to try to do three illustrations every week in April and Early May. But I don't want to steal all the illustrating fun, so if my intended role in this 'game' sounds like fun to you, feel free to steal it and add your own illustrations here: http://entropyinprogress.wikispaces.com/Quotes+Illustrated --- ultimately, this site is where all of the quotes and images will end up in addition to irregular LJ entrees over the next month.5

An Example:

"Marco finds her shawl left behind in the game room, still draped over his jacket." (quote context)
-- Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus (pg. 222)
