A list of some of my favourite quotes

I love a good quote. They remind me that other people see the world in a similar way to me. I was the kind of teenager who inked song quotes in permanent marker on my bedroom walls, school bag and on birthday cards to friends.  Quotes from songs, books, poems and plays still bounce about my head every day, here are some of my favourites…
