Quotes that Aako Likes!!


            I have been a big fan of quotes. You can convey something which might take an entire book within 2 or 3 sentences. That is the beauty of the language and the beauty of quotes.... For long i have been posting some quotes in my FB account and Twitter, but they seem to disappear amidst the vast pile of other useless information. So i have decided to compile everything into a single blog post so that i can revisit anytime i want.
