Quotes

I simply love quotes and quoting people in normal conversations. When you quote people I think it makes you seem smart and helps back up the point you are trying to prove. That's not the reasons I like quotes though. I like them because they are beautiful and make me happy. All quotes make me happy, no matter how sad they are. I like them even more if they are anonymous or from a deceased person. I think it has more of an impact this way. They are also have more of an impact if they are from a speech. The ones I seem to like the most are ones that can be interpreted in many different ways. Everyone has their own opinion and when it comes to those types of quotes, you can tell how people really think by the way they interpret the quotes. In this post I wanted to share a few (yes, it is only a few) of my favorites:
