    I read a lot of English Literature, not because I have to since its my major but as a general hobby. I’ve found many good ones over the years and thought, why not share and see some of your favorite quotes too? I thought it would be a fun little post.

    I guess I’ll start by giving one of my all time favorites.

    “Beware all enterprizes that require new clothes.”

    ~Thoreau

          Probably one of my favorite Quotes. It’s from Oscar Wilde’s play “An Ideal Husband”

          Lord Goring to Lord Caversham

              “Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”

              Im not telling people where my quotes come from i want them to guess.
