As long as I can remember I have loved words. I read early and often as a child spending hours devouring book after book. Soaking up the english language and mulling it over. By the time I hit high school I was signing myself up for advanced english classes and reading Shakespeare just because I loved the witty dialogues. I love the T.V. show Gilmore Girls so much because of the fast paced verbal banter and plethera of quotes they use as a part of their everyday communication. I thought I would post some of my favorite quotes I have gathered over the years for you to ponder.
