The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 14 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
As I do every year about this time, I’m clearing out the “Favorite Quotations” section from my Facebook profile to make way for the new quotes I will undoubtedly amass in 2009. I think there are some really great quotes in here, so enjoy:
