As an aspiring writer, I often find myself inspired by the words of others. I've been looking for a place to jot down these 'quotes' for sometime, finding that a word document or a note on my iphone is not really sufficient storage space for the wise, humorous, sarcastic, and nihilistic words that tickle my fancy. So due to the fanfare that followed the start of my first blog (kidding, but more seriously, check it out here) I have decided that I shall store them here. As I like to consider myself a pop-culture child, the quotes I post here will be from everywhere and everything: television, film, books, poetry, songs, and possibly even some of my own stuff if I work up the courage (and if I get a hell of a lot better at writing). I will be posting one quote a day (I say that now) as an attempt to not only collect a bunch of quotes that intrigue me, but as an attempt to do something that is creatively constructive to keep my wondering mind occupied on something. Writer's block can be a bitch, so at least this way I'm discovering what I like about other people's writing. How these quotes might help me learn more about writing, and positively influence the progression of my own.

If you like this blog, please follow, and if you have a blog similar to this one do the same. Inspiration can come from anywhere and I have no doubt that I will soon enough run out of interesting quotes to share with you all and then I will start scouring Blogger in an attempt to find others people are sharing to link them (I swear I'm not just a hoarder of other people's ideas. Or am I? I wonder would Barthes would say about that?). And with the beginning of a philosophical soliloquy, I shall bid you good day. Enjoy!
