Quotation marks


I have a Wordpad document on my laptop in which I've been collecting quotes for the past couple of years.

Something like: 
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. 
     - Agatha Christie.



Or: 
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people’s lives, never your own.
     - Julian Barnes.



And even:
Stress, in addition to being itself and the result of itself, is also the cause of itself.
     - Roberts.



But one of my favorites has got to be:
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in. 
     - Virginia Woolf.

When I leave this Earth, I want to leave behind a quote.
Maria.
