The following is a set of quotes that I'm drawn to for one reason or another. It is not exhaustive, nor is it well documented. Read on if you're curious, maybe a quote will speak to you like it spoke to me.

Another note ... These quotes are in no particular order and no particular categorization. They just spoke to me at one point or the other. I should attribute and apologies for not doing so. Reach out to me if you want the origin of one and I'll see what I can do although a google search should take you pretty far. This list will be updated over time.
