My Quotation Journal

Here is what an average page in my quotation journal looks like...


I am almost finished with the journal and am working on transferring all the quotes to a Word Document, in case there is ever a fire and all the words get burned to ashes. I hope to give this journal to someone special some day. From my eyes, it is one of the best gifts I could ever give, not only because of what the journal means to me, how precious it is, but also because of all the ideas and bits of life advice it contains.
"When she came to write her story, she would wonder exactly when the books and the words started to mean not just something but everything." - Markus Zusak, The Book Theif, 30
