I’m a very romantic person. Romanticizing my life has become a habit and I try to incorporate it into every single day. There are two things in this world that help me do this: books and the beautiful quotes hidden inside them. There’s nothing more beautiful than being completely immersed and absorbed in literature and stumbling upon a quote that makes your heart beat a bit faster. Here are the top ten most beautiful quotes I have ever read. Maybe you know them, maybe you don’t. But I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
