I am a real word nerd and grammar geek and I really appreciate profound literary quotes so I was really excited when I found Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos. Here are some of my favorites:
"Ask her if she still keeps all her kings in the back row."-Holden Caufield in Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
All the Woulda-Coulda-ShouldasLayin' in the sun,
Talkin' 'bout the things
They coulda shoulda done....
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little Did.
-"Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda" from Falling Up by Shel Silverstein
"Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts."-To Kil a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
