I am proud to announce that I have finished the edited draft of a project I have been working on: a record of all the different quotes used in the preface of Ravenloft products, such as those from Poe or Shakespeare.
This record has many redundant entries as I have divided the record into tabs based on Canon and Fanon material, whether it was an adventure or world-building or CotN/VRG product.
I have done research to find works or authors which where not properly attributed in the proudct, though not all could be found at this time. Due to relying on pdfs/scans, I cannot gurantee the exact quality of the record of the quote. I will fix these in time.
Please feel free to take a look and give comments if you think I am missing a product/netbook/chapter.

And yes, that quote is actually a paraphrasing of the contents of his treatsies on evolution. He never said that word-for-word. The spirit is their but he never directly said it.

Re: Ravenloft Product Quotes List
I noticed that the FoS-Gazetteers, unlike the canon ones and some FoS projects, does not have choice quotes for the sections. While this cannot be changed, I still thought it would be interesting to look up quotes that might be appropriate for the sections, or at least to the subject matter. For example, Sourange could have had quotes from White Zombie or from the works of William Faulkner.
I'm gonna try finding some that fit and post them at some point. Cannot be added, sure, but still a fun little project.

You could suggest quotes for the SoS Report.
I have one for Blaustein, but the more the better.
