Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Each week,
they post a different topic, and you get to create your own top ten list. So, this week's
topic is:
Favorite Quotes From Books
(or from my favorite authors ... or quotes about books. I'm bending the rules this week!)
1) "A room without books is like a body without soul." - Marcus Tullius Cicero (this is also in my header up top ... love this quote!)
2) "We change at least one person's life just by being born." -Samantha Sotto, Before Ever After
3) " I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
4) "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than a book! - When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
5) "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss
6) "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
7) "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
8) "You is kind. You is smart. You is important." - Kathryn Stockett, The Help
9) "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
10) "He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." - Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
What are your favorite quotes? Let me know!
Some goodies here, especially the one from To Kill a Mockingbird!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these, the book Before Ever After was such a beautiful story.
ReplyDeleteFab quotes! I love the Maya Angelou, Harper Lee, and JK Rowling ones in particular. If you'd like to check out mine, they're here.
ReplyDeleteI love the P&P quotes and of course Dr. Seuss is forever quotable! I want to launch myself into one of his books, now. I do love the GoF quote, although perhaps more for irony since Sirius Black is referring to how Crouch treats his house elf and he's so cruel to his own.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes! I especially like that you included the one from THE HELP and the Maya Angelou :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love #2, 3, 8, 9...Ugh, I can't pick just one. Fantastic list.
