Collection of quotes

When I was a sophomore in high school my English teacher would post a quote at the top of the chalkboard each day. She rarely told us who coined it and they were usually not more than a one-liner. From the very first day I started writing them down in a notebook I carried with me. Since I didn't miss a day of school that year I got every quote she put up.

There was one day, however, that this teacher was late to class and had failed to get a quote up on the board. The class took it upon themselves to find a quote and post it in the designated location.

Here is a selection of some of my favorites from that year.

them later.

excited. Nothing much happens in my head, or that I can feel in my
heart--maybe, my stomach is in love with you.

18-Love is a feeling you feel when you feel you are
