I have quite an extensive collection of quotes by various famous people, my favorite authors, and my quirky friends. When I was in college, it was “the thing to do” to hang quotes on your dorm room door. Even then I was surrounded by friends who loved the written word as much as I did. I decided to share a few of my favorite quotes of late. Enjoy!

“Reading furnishes the mind only with material for knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.” ~John Locke
“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” ~J.K. Rowling
“If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; But if you really make them think, they’ll hate you. ~Don Marquis
