You can literally find quotes about life everywhere. There are thousands upon thousands of them. But how many of them really speak to you, really touch you, deep down to your soul?
I found 20 of my favorite quotes about life, and wanted to share them with you. These quotes mean a lot to me. I love them because they not only speak to me, they really make me think about things. For me, the quotes that make me think are the most important.
I’m a very deep person, although this is not a side of me that I show just anybody. My moods tend to shift as well, and depending on my mood, different quotes about life mean different things to me. With that said, I don’t think everything needs to be serious. You have to laugh too.
This will be a nice eclectic mix of both, because we all have different things affect us at different times. I hope you’ll enjoy these as much as I do.
Quotes that speak to my soul
Sometimes, you’re in the mood to find things that really touch your soul. Those truly deep quotes about life that are not only deep, but real.
