quotes, frameworks, and general things I want to remember

I keep a note of some of my favorite quotes. In the spirit of building and actually using this site, I think i’ll post that stuff here instead.

Quotes

Some of these are direct quotes. some of these are pretty close but might be paraphrasing. Because I don’t know the difference, i’m not putting any of these in quotation marks. don’t sue me. also, these are attributed to who I heard them from, not who may have said them first. unless the person said who they were quoting. I don’t know why i’m going on and on about this. here they are:
