Quotes of 2010

I absolute adore quotes. The ones that say it all in a sentence are my favorites. I did a "Quotes" post in 2009. . . . . . so I'm gonna do another to kick this year off. Most of these have absolutely NOTHING to do with submission, spankings, or kink. ;-) Some of them are original, and some are not. If I know where it came from, I noted it. :-) I know, though. . . . . at least one of these will speak to your heart.
