Over the past 10 years I have collected quotes from various places, people, and books and put them in a journal. Occasionally I pull it out and am astonished at how, depending on what point in life I am at, and what is going on in my life, different quotes will mean different things to me, or are more meaningful to me. Here are a few that struck me today.

"If all the world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the story that is more enduring rather than the story that is less enduring."
I like this because it makes lots of sense and no sense all at the same time.
