Top Ten Tuesday: Quote It!
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl and it's a great way to show what you're loving in list form. The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover!
This week's topic is: Favorite Book Quotes. Now, I love me a good quote. I keep notebooks filled with quotes from books I've read and they pile up into glorious mountains of words. Here are some of my favorites:
"A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship." ~Markus Zusak The Book Thief
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals" ~JK Rowling Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness --and call it love--true love." ~Robert Fulghum True Love
"The marks on our lives are like music notes on the page --they sing a song." ~Sarah McCoy The Baker's Daughter
"Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt." ~Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse-Five
"We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further." ~Richard Dawkins The God Delusion
"You can go through life and make new friends every year - every month practically - but there was never any substitute for those friendships of childhood that survive into adult years. Those are the ones in which we are bound to one another with hoops of steel." ~Alexander McCall Smith The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
"You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down." ~Toni Morrison Song of Solomon
"Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life." ~F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful and Damned
"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." ~Neil Gaiman Coraline
"Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living." ~Jonathan Safran Foer Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
"I just want to break that song into pieces and love them all to death" ~Rainbow Rowell Eleanor & Park
"Poverty doesn't give you strength or teach you lessons about perseverance. No, poverty only teaches you how to be poor." ~Sherman Alexie The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
"One's nature comes from within, not from without. The abomination occurs in subverting one's instinct in favor of a rigid code written by others. Trying to force yourself into a role that confounds your spirit will always break you." ~Garth Stein A Sudden Light
"That lovely smell of fresh-cut grass is actually your lawn screaming." ~AJ Colucci Seeders
"If you think girls are supposed to object to sex until they find themselves incapable of resisting your magic penis, fuck you." ~Anna Kendrick Scrappy Little Nobody
Okay...so I went a little overboard, but you have no idea how many I deleted from this post! Quotes get me every time. Every single time!
