If you like these quotes and want to find more, you can do one of the following:

1.)Read the books I mentioned or others
2.)Search the site I mentioned at the beginning of this post. (It's a hyperlink. If you click on it and get to the page, scroll down. There are several sections, and one of them is 'Quotes'. Underneath, it says, 'More quotes'. Click on that and enjoy yourself)
