“Abatement in the hostility of one’s enemies must never be thought to signify they have been won over. It only means that one has ceased to constitute a threat”

I keep a text file open while I browse the internet so I can quickly copy and paste quotes that I see and like (and eventually add to a notebook). I still have trouble memorizing and writing down things I hear and like when I’m out and about, or while I’m reading.

She’ll only break your heart, it’s a fact. And even though I warn you, even though I guarantee you that the girl will only hurt you terribly, you’ll still pursue her. Ain’t love grand?

Start a quote book, and keep it in your purse/bag. Keep it small, and you’re more likely to have it with you. It has been so enjoyable to look back on, and it’s invaluable when you are looking to add something special to a card or note. I’ve been keeping a quotebook since high school, and it’s highly recommended!

This site feeds my addiction well ;). I can’t go to a new page without finding an interesting quote around here. Check this one out…

I think I might need a bigger book, so many things have meaning for me but still I will share my best one for me with you…
