My Favourite Quotes – Part 2

      A couple of years ago I wrote a post featuring some of my favourite quotes. Of course, since then I’ve learned and read and experienced more of life, and discovered (or even just re-discovered) a heap of quotes which I would certainly rank within my favourites now, which I’d like to share.

“You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” (Lewis Carroll)
“The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution.” (J.K. Rowling)
