These are some cool quotes. I really like the one from Aldous Huxley. Kind of apropos for the new year too… in your earlier post about abolishing yearly resolutions and replacing with more realistic milestones (such as monthly goals), it seems appropriate.

Yeah, it does fit well. I should find a way of associating some of these quotes with my posts… will look into that.
