This is such a cool idea for a post, Tammy! Here's my favorite sentence from your list:
"Even after they arrested him and burned all of his manuscripts, which were all blank pages, he refused to speak." Feel like I need to read the Souvenir Museum now!
Hi Tammy, quotes have always fascinated me too. I was fortunate to inherit a huge private library of mostly unusual books in 2011 - including an armful on quotes, Whoopee !! Since semi-retiring 3 years ago, I am delighted to be able to read approx 4 hours a day. Oh what frabijous joy. Peace, Maurice
After reading your post, I am inspired to be more mindful of sentences and to collect those sentences that make a deep impression on me. Thank you for the inspiration!

I've been re-reading Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass in preparation for a workshop next week. I grabbed this one this morning:
"Transformation is not accomplished by tentative wading at the edge."
She's talking about a pond here, and so, so much more.
Love that Chris. BRAIDING SWEETGRASS is on my TBR. Thank you for sharing this beautiful specimen!
It's an essential book. The audio version, if you're into that kind of thing, is pretty great too, as Kimmerer reads it herself.
Then it is moved up on your recommendation! Thank you!
