Thoughts and Italics

Is this the correct way of setting off thoughts in prose? Thanks!

The thoughts that flooded my mind as I worked in the school served as further proof that I was not suited to teaching. They ranged from “you’re twelve, stop trying to get laid” to “he’s definitely going to regret that hairstyle when he’s eighteen”.

(Forgot to italicise what's in quotation marks; just not sure if it works as when I've seen it done before, it's always been a whole sentence rather than part of one)

The quotation marks are sufficient.
