I have books and notebooks and papers everywhere with quotes written down, from all over the place, collected for many years. Here I share my most favorite ones with you. I do not have the original authors of these quotes so if you know the author of a quote found here, leave me a comment and I will add it.
This is the first quote I ever wrote down:
OUR BACKGROUND AND CIRCUMSTANCES MAY INFLUENCE WHO WE ARE, BUT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHO WE BECOME.
