As Amy Tan once said:

“ External success has to do with people who may see me as a model, or an example, or a representative. As much as I may dislike or want to reject that responsibility, this is something that comes with public success. It's important to give others a sense of hope that it is possible and you can come from really different places in the world and find your own place in the world that's unique for yourself. ”

“ You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at no cost. During any questioning, you may decide at any time to exercise these rights, not answer any questions, or make any statements. ”

“ And when they've given you their all / Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy / Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall. ” — Pink Floyd, The Wall

Limitations

Note that {{Cquote|Some text {{ref|Some ref}} }} doesn't work. You may find that {{Cquote|Some text}}{{ref|Some ref}} gives ugly results. Angus McLellan 18:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

{{Cquote|Some text <ref>Some ref</ref> }}, however, does work.  -- Run!  14:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
