@esther-c @smiley @janellebelovedpig @freedomwriter76 @lightoverdarkness6 @highscribeofaetherium @booksbyjayna @everone!
I have been looking up quotes online a lot more lately. I think they are all so beautiful! I use them to start off a chapter, put at the starting of a book or just memorize them. Have you guys found any you just love? Have you read a book and found one? Here are a few of my favorites!! Please share some of yours!
“You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Dr.Seuss
“Don’t cry because its over. Smile because it happened.” -Dr.Seuss
Isn’t it nice to know that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? -Anne Shirley
That’s all I have now, but I will defiantly post more later 🙂
