I've been gathering quotes for years because they force me to think in a new way. In times of doubt and darkness they also kept me going. Today I want to share them with everyone.
I don't know the author of each quotes but it's okay, what matters is their meaning. Athletes, thinkers, bloggers, artists, young people, interviews, I gathered quotes from different sources. Enjoy!
