15 Favorite Quotes Swap

I recently sent a 15 Favorite Quotes E-mail swap on swap-bot. I thought for sure I had 15 favorite quotes, but around quote 10 I had to start searching. I found some great ones.

Many of these are from the greatest book ever written (no, not the Bible silly) but Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. Others are from movies I've loved and some are from the greats! A lot of these quotes are bittersweet or a little sad, which I find oddly comforting; Like those words tell the truth whereas the sugary sweet ones ignore it. Here are my 15 favorite quotes:
