I Apologize that most of these quotes seem to be rather depressing. But I can't help but put them for the obvious truths!! I tried to include inspirational quotes (ones that would inspire not only myself). And please don't complain at me about the lack of female quotes. While there are many intelligent females, I do not admire that many and therefore their words are lost on me.
I Plan on doing this again sometime soon, so if you have any quotes that aren't in this blog or you have personal quotes that you want blogged send me a message and I'll put them in. :)
