Quotes To Live By Finding good quotes about life was not so easy to do before the Internet came along. You had to rely on words that you personally heard or read and then you had to have the foresight to write them down (if you were to remember them). Before I had access to the Internet I kept a notebook specifically for quotes and I still find myself writing in it from time to time. For me, quotes have always been about instant inspiration. I hope others realize how lucky they are to be able to retrieve such inspiration so easily.
