If you have a Facebook account like "most" people do ("most" means over 1 billion!), chances are that at some point, you have actually posted a picture with printed quotes, messages, sayings (or whatever you would want to call them) to convey your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Simple, plain text to put in your FB status box is just not sufficient nowadays (hehe!). And just posting a picture with no words printed on it to express what you really mean is just not good enough. What you need to have is a picture with some quotes in it to help you say what you need to, for that added flair and fashion, no less! (hee hee!). So how do you do it? Well, you need a picture with a quote, and we can refer to this as a Picture Quote.

If you have some cool pictures of your own (meaning you took them yourself) and you would love to have your quotes written on it, all you need is a software (or an application) that has the capability to write your desired message on your own picture. Personally, I choose Picasa to undertake this task. Aside from being a freeware (it is owned by Google and you can download it for free), Picasa is also very easy to use and understand. You don't have many tabs or buttons to press. You just need the icon that says "text", and you may readily type anything on your image with your chosen font.

But if you don't have the patience to do all these or perhaps you don't have the time and the required creativity for the task, I have put here some of my very own Picture Quotes for you. My subject ranges from love to personal reflections. I am still building this up and will add more to the collection from time to time. Feel free to download any of my Picture Quotes (or right-click anywhere on the picture, then choose save picture as) for use in your Facebook page, tumblr, or any other sites you wish (but please don't crop any part of it). Here's hoping to make your web pages more colorful and expressive! :D
