Quotes
Compiled by Ashok Parmar

— Knowledge is knowing a Tomato is not a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad (Miles Kingston)

— May the force be with you is charming, but it’s not important.
What’s important is that you become the force; for yourself and perhaps for other people (Harrison Ford)
