A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• Others
• January 27th
• Sing for the Moment
• Beginnings
• Reality
• Purpose
• Why bother? Here's why
• Pourquoi?
• Half of what I say
• Past, present, future

Change, loss

Footsteps on the staircase,
but they're new ones.
The hand that puts fish on the saucer
has changed, too.

Something doesn't start
at its usual time.
Something doesn't happen
as it should.
Someone was always, always here,
then suddenly disappeared
and stubbornly stays disappeared.

Another cat quote but I don't remember who said it:
