I find the collecting of quotes fascinating.  My small collection started a few years ago.  I’ve collected quotes from TV, movies, books, and the Internet.  From the hilarious to the profound, the sublime to the downright silly; no matter how insignificant, the words of others impact someone.  Here’s a small sampling of the various types of quotes from my collection.  I’ve even thought of a few zingers myself.
