If someone says something funny, I write it down.
If someone says something interesting, I write it down.
I've found that they are quite fun to look through and read, and remember all of the "had-to-have-been-there" moments.

Mr. Parrish, my English teacher, is now sure to be extra careful about what he says in 7th Period.
"I eat caterpillars."
-Mr. Parrish
"Nothing on your phone is more interesting than me."
-Mr. Line
"If you don't know how to do it, do it wrong. Do it TOTALLY wrong."
-Mr. Guthrie
"I'm too strong to yawn."
-Sr. Montiel
"Order is beautiful."
-Mr. Miles
You need to tell us more quotes from your quote book! I love them!
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, at a conference, a presenter brought up this very point.
