Welcome to my collection of quotes! I've come across so many quotes on different pages of the internet that I've enjoyed, so I decided to create an entire page dedicated to them. You'll find a variety of topics here from inspirational to humorous. I'm always looking for more, so if you have a favorite that you'd like me to add to the list, just email me at micheles-world@mailcity.com. Right now, these are in alphabetical order by author, as I collect more I'll try to put them in separate categories.
