You know those blank books with fancy covers? I guess they're supposed to be journals? Well I have tons of them around my house and each one is only partially filled. I found one that I got on my birthday in 1992 and all that's written in it are 8 quotes that I wanted to record around that time. I'm posting them here so I can do something else with this "blank book."

"It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night is another thing." ~ Ernest Hemingway, "The Sun Also Rises" (This is my favorite book of all time, btw)
