Just some random quotes.

No this is not a proper blog. I am aware of that. There is no need to point it out to me. I am already aware.
This is simply a collection of quotes I have accumulated over time. I love simply reading quotes by people. Quotes allow us to learn from those who have already experienced things. Many will be incorrectly quoted I am sure, but i don't care, you can still get the jist of it.
I shall kick off the list with a quote that can give you a pretty good idea about my favorite author of all time within the space of a single sentence.
