The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.

c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\quotes 2023 Nov 14
There exists on some versions of WIndows a file at this location with a collection of quotes, one from A. A. Milne, seven from George Bernard Shaw, and four from Charles Dickens. Why? Not many on the internet know, and some suspect it to be the evidence of malware. But this ancient forum post from 2002 contains the key: "Windows NT (and its derivates) have a service called Simple TCP/IP services that starts by default. When it's active, if you telnet to port 17 on your computer you'll get a quote. I have quotes by George Bernard Shaw, Charles Dickens, etc." This no longer works, Telnet being long-disabled on Windows, but the quotes file persists at least on my computer.
