The aim is to guess the name of the author of a famous quote.

Someone posts a famous quote, a member guesses. A new quote can only be posted once the old quote has been correctly identified.

Go go go!

"Looking at the stars" was Oscar Wilde, who probably made more one-liners than anybody else.

Yes, and the lady in question was the wonderful Margaret Dumont, who (in real life) never quite understood what Groucho was saying, but went along with it, anyway.
