What’s Something Beautiful You’ve Read?

Recently, Iā€™ve started doing something I havenā€™t done since college. Lying in bed with a book, Iā€™ll find myself clutching my heart, rooting around for the pen in my bedside table, and then underlining an especially good sentence to help myself remember it.
