Remember what you read.

You invest hours in every book — and forget most of it within weeks. Passages is a quote journal that turns your best highlights into a daily practice: one passage a day, everywhere you look.

Free. iPhone, iPad, Mac & Apple Watch.

Passage of the Day

How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.

— Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

— Francis Bacon, Of Studies

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
