...deals with my Top Ten Fave Quotes from Books.
1. “That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.”
{The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer}
2. “Let me be something every minute of every hour of my life…And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”
{ A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith }
3. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
{The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier from The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle }
4. “Every journey conceals another journey within its lines: the path not taken and the forgotten angle.”
{Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson}
5. “A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.”
{Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence}
6. “There are too many books in the world to read in a single life time. You have to draw the line somewhere.”
{The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield}
7. “I am haunted by humans.”
{The Book Thief by Markus Zusak}
8. “You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family.”
{The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart}
9. “Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”
{Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson}
10. “Put all your eggs in one basket... the handle's going to break. Then all you've got is scrambled eggs.”
{Remember When by J.D. Robb}
...or
“Life is never as long as we want it to be, and wasted time can never be recovered.”
{Divided in Death by J.D. Robb}
