Introduction
Every presenter has those moments when they want to uplift their presentations. Maybe, an extra slide that shares their thought processes -- or something that will motivate the audience. As is normal though, there's never too much time to add such slides -- and there's not much available that doesn't looked canned -- or is customizable.
PowerQUOTES from PresentationPro is a very simple product -- in fact it is just a bunch of slides -- but it is something that can make a difference if you want that one slide to make your presentation stand out. And it doesn't look canned -- and that's because you can customize it as you want.

Using PowerQUOTES
Using PowerQUOTES is simple -- just open your existing presentation and the PowerQUOTES presentation, and drag slides from the latter to the former. While this drag and drop works best from Slide Sorter view, there's no reason why you cannot do the same from within the Slides pane on the left of the PowerPoint interface.
When you drag and drop, you will see a clipboard icon (Paste Options Smart Tag) below the dragged slide -- choose the Keep Source Formatting option if you want this slide to not change its look to the template of the new presentation.
Also, even if you choose to apply a new template to the inserted slide, it may not be visible since all slides in PowerQUOTES have a black rectangle covering the entire slide area -- the solution is simple, just select the black rectangle, and delete.

Pricing and Support
PowerQUOTES costs $29 -- that's a good price, and easily recovered even if you use the product once.
Support is through email and an online FAQ -- there's also live chat support available.
