Quotable Quotes :)

My initial experience going to a library and that too a big one i.e. The British Council library in New Delhi, India was an extremely boring one. For some weird reason i decided i wanted to read about Morse-code and something complicated like that ( god knows to please whom?! ) ... Anyways, i did read some such stuff ( and i was just a school student)  - so it goes without saying i was in a semi-doze kind of situation... 

After i had sufficiently killed myself with boredom and feeling awkward to look all around the library for more options ( coz i was young and stupid and very conscious that some people were watching my movement around the place)... i was pushed to a level where i  just HAD to move out of the seat i thought i was going to stay glued in, lest my snores are heard all around... i pushed myself around the place to finally find something that interested me! 

Quotes, by some interesting authors... and i would love to share it in my blog ( more importantly coz the piece of paper i scribbled them in, is showing increasing signs of losing itself where i cannot find it forever!). 

Here goes: -
