As it's unlikely anyone else goes to these extremes, let's make this topic into just a place where you can share your favourite quotes or movie lines on any subject

Anybody got one?

I used to keep a quote book and then i lost it, lols. One of my favorite quotes are:

Hi, I'm new!

I do the exact same thing! I have 2 binders full of
quotes, some written down some printed out, one of my good friends got me into them a while ago. Most of mine are love quotes but heres some inspirational ones:

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul, dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for that gift

When the tides of life turn against you, and the currents upset your boat, don't waste your tears, get on your back and float
