My Obsession

I am absolutely obsessed with quotes. I don’t know when exactly this obsession started, but I have been a quote lover for quite some time now. I literally collect quotes (if that is even possible). My quote collection is becoming rather extensive and I have about 20 Word documents on my computer alone designated to random quotes I find while searching the internet. I have also decided that I would like a hard copy of all the quotes I collect in case I ever lost the documents on my computer. Therefore, I have also begun writing them down in notebooks, and printing off the documents to keep them in folders. Anyways, while searching the internet for quotes, I have found that surprisingly I am not alone in my obsession. So I wanted to share just a sample of some of my favorite quotes with you. Enjoy!

“I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.” – Jonathan Safran Foer

“You know what’s weird? Day by day, nothing seems to have changed, but pretty soon … everything’s different.” – Bill Watterson

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that’s all.” – Oscar Wilde

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste the experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

“Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.” – Henry Miller

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"'That proves you are unusual,' returned the Scarecrow; 'and I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.'" — L. Frank Baum (The Land of Oz)

"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop & look around once in a while you could miss it."
- Ferris Bueller

"Be happy for this moment...this moment is your life." - Bob Marley
