Greetings and welcome to Quotable Quotes. Why this page you ask? Well, over the years, I have heard many witty and inspirational quotes said about dolphins and sealife in general, and I thought I would devote a page to them. Now, how is it interactive? Well, I am but one lone dolphin and I don't think it would be too fascinating for a page of this type to reflect quotes from only one source, so... I am HOPING that people, other dolphins, and any other species that found themselves able would send a quote to me, and I would incorperate it into my page. Sound good? If so, click HERE to submit a quote!

But, conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."
