So I have this thing for quotes. From books, movies, interviews, speeches…some people have an amazing way with words, and make it seem easy to combine them in a way that inspires millions. I, unfortunately, am not that creative, but who says living by the words of others is a bad thing? Here’s a list of some of my favorite quotes; a list that changes basically every day, because the ratio of quotes to posts on my Tumblr feed is about 1:5.
