Quote me…
Well, it’s not really “Quote Me”, more sort of “I Quote”. This page grew out of a post I made on the subject of favourite quotes, which itself grew from the “Favourite Quotes” section of my Facebook profile. But the list has started to get a bit long, and I keep adding to it, so I thought I’d make it a page instead.
What you’ll find here is a mixture of songs, lines from movies, things I’ve said and so on, and the list will continue to grow as time goes on. Enjoy!
