Does anyone else here like to highlight lines and passages in novels that they really really like? Something that pops, or just sounds incredible? It's a habit I've been trying to get myself into lately, marking up books, and it seems to finally have caught hold on me while I was reading some more of Pnin, by Vladimir Nabokov.
Tell us something weird you do when you come across something you like, whether it be writing, TV, music, photography, whatever!
Type it up in a text file on my computer full of random quotes.
maybe put it in my msn name.. but i have a great memory.. near photographic.. so i usually just remember it.
"But it's our yoghurt night!"
I try to cram it into every space I can to make others aware of it's excellence.
Yeah something like that. I'd never ever highlight a piece of text in an actual book.. writing it down is good enough for meOriginally Posted by Roto13
I copied about a million lines of quotes out of anna karenina
If it's a line I really like I usual memorize it.
I will always love this passage from Helena in Shakespear's "Midsummer Night's Dream".
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath love's mind of any judgement taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
And therefore is love to be said a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd."
I just love passion in which you can say such a part, I highlight it in my mind.
If I find a good quote anywhere it goes straight into my msn name. I had a quote there from 8 bit theatre for about a month once xD
The messenger is standing at the gate
Ready to let go
Ready for the crush
Too late for whispers
Too late for the blush
The past is mercy
When the future is aglow
Memorise it and include it in one of my jokes
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
"But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.”
I post them in internet forums.
I can't bring myself to take a pen to a book. It's like... sacrilege.
I agree with Ouch! xD
I usually just write it down.
I don't like writing in books. It seems disrespectful.
Make it my sig in GameFAQs.
