Interesting quotes inspire me, make me think, contemplate, re-think a point of view, muse, ponder, visualize, or see an angle into something that was in my blind sight. I am collecting here some of those quotes, that you, dear reader, might find interesting reading too.

Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence. ‘Stray Birds’ (1916) Rabindranath Tagore
