Quotes Through the Zodiac

 Being a philosophical Sagittarian , I love quotes. I think that they allow us to take ourselves to a higher level of consciousness because we begin to add "building blocks" to form a worldview based upon the subject matter. Similar to the zodiac mixtapes, I have put together quotes which I think embody the spirit of each zodiac sign. For those who are somewhat unfamiliar with Astrology, I think that you will begin to understand some of the themes that are significant throughout the zodiac. Enjoy.
