QUOTES



Yep, I knew it was coming. One of these days, I'd put up a quotes page. A collection of good quotes by interesting people (at least, in my opinion). The one problem with these is that they are like public restrooms: shiny at first, but then the upkeep falls lax, and then they get kinda grungy and unkempt. Sort of like links pages. ^_^ But I'll do my best. So: here goes.


January 5, 2002: Added the 'Those We Look Up To' and 'Sanna And Those Around Her' pages, and added a few new ones to 'That Was Funny'.





Good Words for or from Humanity | Them There Be Fightin' Words | Black and White | Phear | That's Funny! | Those We Look Up To | Sanna And Those Around Her |
That's Funny!
