A Supplement to My Favorite Quotes

19 October 2011 Posted by Nia Langley Uncategorized

Hey, readers! You can consider this post as a “Part 2” to My Favorites Quotes (thus far). Some of these quotes are motivational, some of them are funny, and some are just random. Some of these quotes are from famous people, some of them are from my friends, some are from anonymous people (or I don’t know/remember who said them), and some are from myself. Some of these quotes are from movies or books. Some of these are from interviews, and some of these are simply from everyday life. Here it goes.

*I’m not going to put my friends’ last names on here, just for protection purposes. I guess. If there is no last name, chances are he/she is a friend of mine.
*The movie/TV show/book a quote was taken from will be in parentheses.

    As much as I dislike Bill Gates, he does have a point with that last quote. Nerds definitely come out on top.
