Challenge 54: Text-Only
This week, we're heading into unfamiliar territory. I don't think we've ever done a text-only icon before! But it's easy:

1) Pick a quote from CSI: NY. Quotes can be found at WikiQuote, IMDB, or CrimeLab. Or, of course, if you have your own favourite quotes, you are definitely encouraged to use those!

2) Icon it. Make sure the entire quote fits onto the icon, because animation is still not allowed, and that the entire quote is readable!
Remember, the icons won't be voted for just because of the quote, but also because of how the icon looks! So if you want a quote icon guide to read over, here's a great one.

3) And remember! Clip art ISN'T a picture! If you want to include a little doodle, go for it!

And as usual, questions in the comments, please!
