Quotes I Like

I just thought I would list some of my favorite quotes on here. I used to keep a little book that I would add them to, but I haven't done that in a while. So I thought I would try it on here. On a occasion when I find a new quote I like, I will update this.

So he takes hate to his bosom and holds it close, like he's afraid it will slip away from him if he lets go. But it's like putting a prairie rattlesnake inside your shirt. No matter how good a reason you may have for doing so, your're going to be the one who gets bit."
