How I did it: It all started when trying to pick a quote for my high school yearbook senior year.  I could not pick just one quote I liked... so I started to compile the few that I had at that point.  Ever since, I (sometimes obsessively) horde quotes that I love - wherever they come from and record them in a blank journal.  I now have 3+ journals filled.  I have also created an electronic version and, arguably, could continue with JUST this version, but there's something necessary to me in the hand-written step.  At first, I did not keep track of the quote sources, but righted myself there fairly quickly and have gone back to research as many pre-recorded quote sources as possible.  My quote collection is one of my most prized possessions and I love any excuse to go on a search for the perfect quote for any given situation.  This is absolutely worth doing!
