A Snapshot into my Favourite Quotes

I am the type of person who collects things. This habit turns to misfortune, when I inevitably lose interest after a couple years. However, a less pricey, and arguably more useful, collection of mine, has been quotes. When I can remember (and be bothered to), I will record quotes from movies, tv shows, and books. Here, for your enjoyment, are a few of them (I can't be bothered to count).
