Loved the Artemis Fowl one at the end. But they were all good.
Came across this bit in a recent read- and found it quite profound...
From Courtney Summers' CRACKED UP TO BE:
"Something was wrong with me, like I felt wrong all the time. I longed for some kind of symmetry, a balance. I chose perfection. Opposite of wrong. Right. Perfect. Good. I get caught up in outcomes. I convince myself they're truths. No one will notice how wrong you are if everything you do ends up right. The rest becomes incidental. So incidental that, after a while, you forget.Maybe you are perfect. Good. It must be true. Who can argue with restults? You're not so wrong after all. So you buy into it and you go crazy maintaining it. Except it creeps up on you sometimes, that you're not right. Imperfect. Bad. So you snap your fingers and it goes away. Until something you can't ignore happens and you see it all over yourself. And there's only one thing left to do."
You've chosen wonderful lines!! Ink Ink Exchange line is one of my ultimate favorites. I do have a few of my own but can't sight any in my head, at the moment.
Fun quotes! I used to do this a lot more. One of my favorites comes from Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott:
Gramercy for the few drops of thy sprinkling, but this damsel hath wept
enough to extinguish a beacon-light.
I don't have any memorized, but I love the ones you have here! Especially the one about dreaming too much that you forget to live. Brilliant.
I love all these. I don't have any to hand at the moment *sniff* but if I think of any I'll be back. ;-)
What a GREAT list.
I haven't read artemis fowl but that brilliant line has just irrevocably won me over.
Sophie Jordan would die if she saw those quotes on your blog, that you consider them words of wisdom!!! I adore her!!!
Those are great! Makes me want to read the ones I haven't seen yet!
Those are some good ones. Too early in the morning to think of any others, though.
wow- those were some fabulous quotes! I recognised a lot of them. Can't think of any off the top of my head but I loved this post!
Loved that Harry Potter was in there. The Beautiful Creatures quote is making me want to go check out the book.
This is a great collection of quotes, Renae! I'll have to find some of mine and come back. :-)
