Because I'm Obsessed with Quotes

To begin with...there are going to be more than 25 quotes. But this little picture reminded me of something one of my favorite professors, Dr. Sexson, told me in college (okay, usually only people who've been out of college for awhile say it like that, but I can since I'm a real-life grown-up college degree holder!) a quote that has been attributed to several people, including Pablo Picasso:
"Bad artists copy. Good artists steal." I love this quote, because I find inspiration everywhere and occasionally feel like I have no creativity of my own. However, as this quote points out, there are few original ideas: creativity comes from making those ideas your own.
 Anyway, to end the longest introduction of all time, here's some fantastic quotes comin' at ya!
