a collection of folly quotes

A little hobby of mine; which gives me a strange feeling of satisfaction; mainly upon discovery. Displaced from their original context I would imagine they seem obscure. Much of the revelevance of the quote and the significance of the use of the word folly is lost. Yet still I persist; and this blog provides me with a means of storage and arrangement.
