Hey everyone,

Very random thread, but I LOVE quotes and am always looking for new, inspirational and interesting ones from whomever and wherever. Just thought if you would like to put a quote or a couple down which really mean a lot to you or make you think etc etc.

Ok I'll start it off - maybe not the best, but of course I can't actually think of my favourites at the moment!

"love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear"

ok so not the deepest of quotes, but thought I would just throw a few out there!
