I like using quotes in my writings sometimes. People in everyday life quote famous people on a regular basis, whether it's a philosopher, actor, musician or criminal. To leave out this way of referencing the minds of those in the spotlight for whatever greatness they possess in literature about humans I think is to leave out a major way of how we function and think. So I like to give those characters who would most likely be a quoting type ammo to quote with. I'll add more quotes to this post as I find good ones, not all of these will be used, though some give me fuel for thought and fodder for plot.
