Welcome, Welcome, Welcome
First things first: Happy Father’s Day!
Today’s post isn’t related but, nonetheless, I hope you have a good one.
It’s hard to believe we’re half-way through the year already but I’m super excited to share this first batch of quotes with you today.
We all know that authors, some more than others, have a unique way with words. Some speak to us in a way that follows you off the page, staying with you long after the story has ended.. There are quotes that you relate to, that entertain, that break your heart and build it back up—words that affect you in a thousand ways—and I, like many readers I know, can’t get enough of them.
Below are some of the ones I’ve found and collected so far..
Enjoy!
