Thinking out loud (this could be a terrible idea, "green hat" thinking alert!): I wonder if it would be interesting to be able to tag a quote as "fiction". There's so many insightful quotes that are spoken through the fictional characters of great authors. It seems a shame that such quotes are "illegitimate". Better to perhaps allow the quotes but tag them appropriately so they can be filtered out of prediction analysis. Thoughts?

I generally include the name of the character along with the rest.

That doesn't always work -- sometimes it's from an impersonal narrator.

Point - "Narrator", perhaps?
