I like quotations. Why? Well, they can bring something valuable into my life and teach me a lot of things. Some can cheer me up on a bad day, some can give me a kick in the bum when I'm being too lazy and don't feel like doing anything productive. There are also some quotes that are not so optimistic, though. However, they might contain harsh but truthful words that help me understand lots of things about the world surrounding me. Our Mother Earth has existed long enough to have given birth to a crazy number of human beings, and among them there are many great ones whom we owe some beautiful quotes to. I feel like everyone can find something for themselves and relate to it in one way or another. Quotes can also be helpful when you feel a bit lonely because not only do they work as a mood booster, which I've already mentioned before, but they also go to prove that there ARE people like you somewhere over there.
Having said that, here's a list of some of my favourite quotes in random order (
