| Some people think quotes are stupid and are just words put cleverly together. I think quotes make you reflect on where you are and where you have been in life. They can make you realize something you have never seen before about yourself. All the following quotes apply to my past or present in one way or another. They are not just cleverly strung together words, rather they words that someone else has said to describe feelings or situations that I fully relate to. |
