This collection holds 12 work me parents quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Bruno Tonioli, Jim Knight and Matthew Gray Gubler.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.
