The Law of Conservation of Excitement/Quotes

"Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind."

- Terry Pratchett, in Reaper Man

""What sort of person," said Salzella patiently, "sits down and writes a maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head. Opera can do that to a man.""

- Terry Pratchett, in Maskerade

"Cut out all those exclamation marks. An exclamation mark is like laughing at your own joke."

- F. Scott Fitzgerald
