Potential.
I really do like the concept you're getting at with these, believe me. I just think that flash isn't the best format to put them in. Or rather, flash in icon-sized slots with cutesy Arial font isn't the best format to put them in. I really, really, really think more people, including myself, would fall in love with your work if you smartened up your presentation: larger window, and maybe some variation in font..? I know simplicity is what you're going for, but I think you should at least consider playing around with space. Make some text small, some big, but keep the general white-on-black overlay. I guess what I'm getting at is for you to emphasize what you consider the strongest words in these little bite-size quotes, so that more people get what you're saying.
