This is a neat topic and I'm enjoying the discussion going on here and seeing how others keep track of the words that most inspire them.
If I own the book, I sometimes highlight or underline quotes I like, but most often I just write them in a little notebook that I keep handy, with pen, while I'm reading. When I start a new book, I write in the title so I'll know where the quote comes from and then write the page number next to the quote for future reference.
I also have a blank journal that I keep a lot of my favorite quotes in. I haven't updated it for awhile, but it's a combo of images and favorite quotes I've gathered from all over.
Here are couple of quotes from the book I'm currently reading (Home by Marilynne Robinson):
"She opened the windows to cool the kitchen and air out the dining room a little, and the breezes that came in were mild, earthy, grassy, with a feel of sunlight about them" (105). -- I love that last part about the "feel of sunlight."
"You feel that heart in there? My life became your life, like lighting one candle from another. Isn't that a mystery?" (116)
