FMP (BA): List of Quotes

I'm leaning a bit on the idea of doing a book of quotes as it's something completely different to what I usually do, and I mentioned in my last APP project that I would love to explore more with different type styles. This would be the perfect way to do that!

I'm not quite sure on what theme I'd go with so I just collected a bunch of quotes from numerous sites and have listed them below. I had originally hand-written my ideas but... Even I couldn't read my own handwriting.
This time I will be crediting the authors as these are the more well-known quotes. I'll keep adding to this list throughout the duration of this project so that everything is in one place.
