[ Quotations ]
I enjoy a good quote. Be it sentimental, inspiration, humorous, or just downright perverse, I simply can't get enough of those little jewels of wisdom that some of the worlds brightest (and dimmest) minds have concocted. This page, in case you couldn't tell, is dedicated to the people who make our paper-writing eaiser, our day to day lives more interesting, and our speeches more colorful.
