Quotes

Welcome to the quotes section. 

This is a collection of quotes I've ammassed over some time.  Some are here because I like them, identify with them or aspire to them.  Others are here because I thought they were clever.  Still others, because I did/do not understand them.  Others still because the idiocy of them makes me laugh.

iow, don't read too far into WHY something is here.  It just is.

Feel free to ...  No....   please do,  leave a comment, vote on a quote (click it to show it's expanded page for comments and/or voting) and just generally enjoy the section.

Hope you like it as much as I do.

J.
