Quotations

There's truly nothing like a good quotation to get you thinking, so here are some of my favorites :) Enjoy. Oh, and in case you were wondering, no "Quotes" is not an appropriate short hand way of writing Quotations as "Quotes" is a verb and quotations is not. I use "quotes" for my filename because I am quoting people :)
