« My Quotes »



Yes, this is my quotes page. I rarely make up quotes of my own; I just collect them. And just because some don't say where they come from doesn't mean i said it. (please...!) Saddly enough, most of them aren't humorous and some are quite mushy so watch out. Read 'em whenever you want and email me any new ones you think i should put on here. I'm always adding new quotes.
