The Quotes

I’ve had a hard time deciding which quotes to choose. First I had no idea what to go for. Then I checked my Tumblr for all the quotes I shared and suddenly I had too many. For the first day I have chosen to share a few quotes from The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. This book is so quotable, and overal a great read. I really connected with the main character for some of these quotes.

So today you get a bunch of qutoes. It didn’t make sense to share quotes from one book over a few days.
