The 2023 quotebook: top quotes of the year

By Suyashtnt | Published 01 Jan 2024 | Updated 01 Jan 2024

So, in the middle of this year I started “The quotebook”, A file in my Obsidian vault containing a bunch of quotes from my friends IRL and a bunch of people online (With permission ofc). It’s a continuation of something my friends started after one of them said this now legendary line:

  • [1] Wow, that’s crazy! I have to do the same thing!
  • [2] Wow that’s crazy! I have to do the same thing!
