I'd like to consider something more Wikiquote-specific if we could. Commons has a button:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Commons-button-en.png
that has the text: "It's all about freedom / Support Wikimedia Commons". Perhaps we could do something similar? Here's are two possibilities based on quotes from a 19th-century collection:
"Quotation is the highest compliment / Support Wikiquote" * Samuel Johnson; quoted in Edwards, Tryon, "The World's Laconics: Or, The Best Thoughts of the Best Authors" (1853), p. 232: "Quotation is the highest compliment you can pay to an author."
"A community of mind / Support Wikiquote" * Unidentified (possibly Johnson); quoted in Edwards, "World's Laconics", p. 232: "Quotation, sir, is a good thing; there is a community of mind in it..."
Any other ideas?
Regards, Jeff

That's what Aphaia was suggesting. :-)

We could do both of them, if you like, choices are always better in these situations (people will put ones that they favor more on their blogs).
Any other ideas?

Yeah, why not both? The more choice, the more involved .. hopefully # By the way, I prefer not-blinking-one ... can anyone create them please? I am afraid I had no sufficient applications.
Any other ideas?

She may create another one if she has the time, but I'm very thankful she made one of them! :-D
