Your daily portion of philosophy. Also for non-philosophers!

You'll find mostly philosophical quotes here(or at least quotes with a philosophical edge), although there might appear some quotes which are not really philosophical when I come across something that is just inspiring or something like that.

I don't search for pictures/photographs/whatever to go with quotes, because I don't like messing a beautiful picture with text or putting quotes in an uninteresting picture. If I post a quote with a picture, it's probably one of my own photos. I don't have a really good camera and I'm not really good at photography, so don't expect too much at that point.

Enjoy! :)

PPS. I found out my background isn't working on small screens(on my 12" laptop screen it's just white). I'll try to find a solution for this later.
