A Florilegium

 A florilegium is a notebook, or journal, or collection of verses that you want to remember.  A notebook of "bon mots," so to speak.

I have done this all my life.  Whenever, I have encountered something beautifully written, or something I wish I had said, or just something I want to remember, I've written it down.  A florilegium is for spiritual texts that you want to meditate more on.  Whereas my notebooks have everything from "come backs" to spiritual thoughts.
