Below is an ever-growing, very incomplete collection of quotes I’ve stumbled across and liked enough to keep. I’ve always enjoyed reading other people’s highlights, marginalia, and annotated snippets, so this is my attempt at a digital version of that—little fragments that stuck, even if I can’t always remember exactly why.

I marked a handful of quotes I thought were genuinely excellent in green and a few others that felt meaningfully above average in light blue. These tags are subjective and non-exhaustive of course—quotes tend to hit differently depending on the day, mood, or what part of your brain is currently on fire. Since the list has no real structure, order, or hierarchy, the same goes for the quotes themselves. Some are profound, some are funny, some are questionable out of context. All were worth saving to me, at least once.
