Inspirational quotes

Post by TillyGalore » June 19th, 2009, 9:41 am

As most of you know, I work in a prestigious, and at times, difficult program at Duke (PM me if want details). One of the things I want to do is to include inspirational quotes when I send out weekly reminder emails. Please post your favorite quotes, and please include authors name.

Thanks!

That line always reminded me of 2 things:
1. The Shining
2. Rocky Horror Picture Show
