Quotes

I was going through some long-forgotten stuff on my computer today and found something kinda cool: a bunch of old quotes I had collected throughout college. Quotes have always been appealing to me. Something about a proverbial truth or nugget of wisdom expressed in a sentence or two really strikes a chord with me. Probably because a sentence or two is as much as I can read in one sitting. I bequeath some of my favorites to your eyes:
