Quotes
Since the name of this blog is itself a quote, I figure this is a good place to post various quotes that I’ve been collecting over the past several years (and which I have nowhere else to post).
Warning: the less you know me, the less obvious the relevance of each quote will be. Otherwise, enjoy!
