Quotes are fascinating things - so short and concise, yet they accomplish more than any lenthy writing I attempt. Part of my new interest in quotes stems from my college writing class in which we are required to quote a particular passage at the beginning of every class. I'm in search of one that truly matches me and in doing so, I've stumbled upon a great many insightful quotes. Expect to find them randomly sprinkled through future blog entries.

Without picking it apart and ruining the magic of a well phrased quote, ... how true is it!! The more our culture attempts to suppress sex and nudity, the more distorted they become. So much for our "advanced" civilization.
