Motivational, inspirational, insightful, thoughtful, neat, interesting, or just damn funny - anything goes here as long as it's a quote or discussion based around one.
I may occasionally cherry-pick/borrow/steal/ quotes I stumble upon from other sources on the web if they seem notable. But I'll also do my best to post totally original quotes I randomly come across. Either way, a good quote ought to be shared, no matter who's found it or where it's come from!!
