Creating equally spaced quote & header
I want to create a heading for worksheets I will make. I want space for their name, the course, etc. in the upper leftmost space of the page (based on the page dimensions) and a TV/Movie quote in the upper rightmost space of the page.
To do this, I thought to use minipage to accomplish this as follows:
begin{minipage}{0.6textwidth}
textbf{Name:} makebox[3in]{hrulefill} \
textbf{Course} \
textbf{Worksheet #1} \
end{minipage}
begin{minipage}{0.4textwidth}
{em ``This is a quote that someone definitely said.'' } \
struthfill --H.P. Blabbermouth, That One Show You Know
end{minipage}
At first glance, this works. But when you add more to the upperleft material or when the quote is longer, they offset each other so that they are no longer in the uppermost corners (like in the image below). Is there a way of making sure they always appear in the top left/right corner of the page?

You need to use a [t]op-aligned minipages to ensure that they are always aligned appropriately:
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
noindent
begin{minipage}[t]{0.6textwidth}
textbf{Name:} hrulefill ~~ par
textbf{Course} par
textbf{Worksheet #1}
end{minipage}%
begin{minipage}[t]{0.4textwidth}
raggedright
{itshape ``This is a quote that someone definitely said.''} par
raggedleft
--H.P. Blabbermouth, That One Show You Know
end{minipage}
end{document}

I use minipage so often in the case where I put it is where I want it that I leave out the float options---so often I'd forgotten it had them. Thank you for the simple solution!
