I love this. Im obsessed with quotes. I have a quote book but my journal is scattered with them too. there are probably more quotes from other people than myself. lol.
ReplyDeleteI love the two you added from the Catcher In The Rye. I looooooove that book.
also the quote "The moment you admit to loving someone is the moment you admit to having a lot to lose."
beautiful <3
The Catcher in the Rye was kind of strange but had loads of relatable quotes so I'm not complaining.
DeleteI love these quotes. I have such an obsession with quotes- sometimes, other people really can put your thoughts into words better than you can.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true! And I guess they make you feel as if other people have noticed the same things you have - and you're not the only one.
DeleteI love the last two and the Winner's Kiss quote <3
