Random Quotations Meme

From reverend mommy, who I don't actually know, but whose blog I enjoy:

It's an easy one to do. The rules: Go here and look through random quotes until you find 5 that you think reflect who you are or what you believe. Feel free to use the "New Random Quotations" button at the bottom of the page. I hereby tag all my friends with blogs.

Here's mine:
