“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

The idea for this blog, I suppose, is centered around having your world shattered by a piece of literature or film. Many of us have experienced this feeling that John Green's character, Hazel Grace, describes so accurately. This phenomenon is not limited to books, however. Often times a character in a film or show will have a line or monologue that is as beautifully written (and spoken) as any brilliant piece of literature. 

As an English Lit major, I have an endless fascination with beautifully crafted words. The main point of this blog is to archive those quotes I come across in books or movies that simply must be remembered and also the character the quote was said by/about. 

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
