Ok, my previous post was about Kannada Proverbs.
Even though Kannada is my mother-tongue, English is my first love. The intricacies of this language fascinate me. I find myself better equipped to express my true feelings in English; this probably also explains why I'm usually at a loss and groping for words in Kannada. So I guess it's nothing out of the ordinary that I've chosen this as the topic for my next post.
To start out with, I've included some of the quotes that have had much impact on me. I will continue to do the same and request your contributions too.
