Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.
I have compiled over 500 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

Quotations from Anais Nin:
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that this new world is born.
If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a
fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that this new world is born.
