I have this habit of collecting really good quotes from books or wherever. And since most of you read, why not pick up a few lines which has striked your chord and share it with us?

Would love to read them😛 . Here's one I remember from my favourite novel

"My meaning simply is, that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest." - David Copperfield.

"I have done bad things. I can't take them back, and they are part of who I am. Most of the time, they seem like the only thing I am."
-Insurgent, Veronica Roth


P.S. David Copperfield was one of the first novels I ever read and it still remains in my heart. Thanks for sharing that quote! It stirred the memories inside. :)

One of my all time favourite quote...that's so meaningful in every way :

"There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live...the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope."

" Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo)
