Currently:

<p><said who="Simon Dedalus">—<hi rend="italic">
<quote>I'll pay you your dues, father, when you cease turning 
the house of God into a pollingbooth.
</quote></hi></said></p>

Would like to get better attribution for the quote here.

Another one from Dante:

<p><said who="Dante">—
<quote>Woe be to the man by whom the scandal cometh!</quote> 
said Mrs Riordan. 
<quote>It would be better for him that a millstone were 
tied about his neck and that he were cast into the depth of the
sea rather than that he should scandalise one of these, my least
little ones.</quote> That is the language of the Holy Ghost.</said></p>

Breaking this one out into its own issue.
