For some reason this got posted twice. Is there any way I can delete the non-emoji post?
I've done it for you. I don't actually remember if you're able to do it yourself, but if so there should be a button toward the top right of the post.

they're on my signature while that lasts

but if you're too late:

"I know two kinds of audiences only - one coughing, and one not coughing." -Artur Schnabel
"A lot of people have quotes in their signature. Maybe I should have a quote in my signature." -Froggie
"I ban you for including your own quote in your signature." -Tailsfan101

EDIT 3-23-23:

Well, my real favorite quotes are all of Artur Schnabel's, the legendary pianist who gave us amazing interpretations of Mozart and Beethoven. Stop hating on classical music, people.

"The sonatas of Mozart are unique; they are too easy for children, and too difficult for artists."
"I know two kinds of audiences only - one coughing, and one not coughing."
"Sunshine can burn you, food can poison you, words can condemn you, pictures can insult you, but music cannot punish - only bless."
"I am attracted to music which I consider to be better than it can be performed. I feel that unless a piece presents a problem, it doesn't interest me."
"Have I a secret about playing the piano? It's a very simple one - I sit down on the stool and make myself comfortable and make sure the lid is open."
"When a piece gets difficult, make faces."
"It is not music's function to express rational necessities."
"The notes I handle are no better than any other pianist, the art resides in the pauses between the notes."

this is one of my personal favorite 'chaotic quotes':

"I feel like the possibility of all these possibilities being possible, is just another possibility that could possibly happen."
