Book readers and avid fans of literature are suckers for quotes. Some hold on to them forever, some, like me, tend to forget them as soon as they close the pages. Thanks to this blog, I will be able to preserve some of my most favorite quotes, which I have come across while reading or while stalking words on the internet. Take a look and tell me how many of them do you love as well!

“Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret.

“One must be careful of books, and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”
