Email Signature Quotes

I include a quote in my email signature, and this is the collection. It's fairly big, I suppose, so I used an AppleScript and a quick find/replace in BBEdit to grab the list. The script I used is:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set blah to content of every signature
    set bar to ""
    repeat with foo in blah
        set bar to bar & foo & return & return
    end repeat
    set the clipboard to bar
end tell
