Hi world!

Now and then we come up with a really great sentence on a book. Or one part of a song is just to great.. That all you think about is: "I HAVE to post it.. share it.. etc!!!" Maybe they are not that great... or just stupid. But somehow.. you feel pretty good about it.

Let us know if you ever had that feeling.. if that's the case.. Start posting... sharing.. etc!!!!

Here is one of mine!!!

"Dawn comes before sleep does."
― Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire


Thanks!!
 
Always. I always, always, always, ALWAYS have to do this! :) "We accept the love we think we deserve". That's from Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower which is easily one of my favorite books and very easily the most quotable book I know of. Another good one is "You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."
 
Those 2 were pretty good!!! Thanks for your post! Whenever you feel like posting some more.. I would love to know hear them!
"One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."
— Jack Kerouac --The Dharma Bums
 
Thank you! I love to share book quotes. Here's a couple of good ones for you from Thirteen Reasons Why, another one of my favorites.
"You don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can't be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything."

"No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same."

I love this sort of thing. Being a Shakespeare specialist, I'm well into quotes. Here are just a few of my favourites.

She went around with the attitude that she would rather be beaten to death than take any shit.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Steig Larsson, 2005)
Page 183.

Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.
William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night, 2:5

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

William Shakespeare
Julius Caesar, 2:2
The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.
William Shakespeare
Julius Caesar, 3:2

After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive.
Death of a Salesman (Arthur Miller, 1949)
Willy Loman, Act 2
 
The other day I was reading a book of philosophy applied to everyday issues, and a paragraph was particularly inspiring. Sorry if the translation is not good, but the original text is in spanish. It is inspired by the philosophy of Schilling:

"The life is that,hit hard the hammer. This will not without excitement. The obstacle stimulates, challenges, challenges us, irritates, pulls forces us to do so would be asleep. It makes us fruitful and empower us, the least evil of the powers, the power to do ... " from "History of a Library" by Tomás Abraham.

I'll go and check the book! Sounds like a really good topic. Specially because most of the people think philosophy is "ancient"! But in my opinion.. is that.. Something to be applied to everyday issues!

Thanks for mentioning what the whole book is all about.. and of course the quote!

Keep them coming! :)
 
If I had to choose a quote, from anywhere, that makes me feel and that I can relate to, it's from Marya Hornbacher.

"I was perpetually grief-stricken when I finished a book; and would slide from my sitting position on the bed, put my cheek on the pillow and sigh for a long time. It seemed there would never be another book. It was all over - the book was dead. It lay in its bent cover by my hand. What was the use? Why bother dragging the weight of my small body down to dinner? Why move? The book had left me, and there was no reason to go on."
 
I just finished reading Haruki Murakami's, Kafka on the Shore and this is one of the passages that caught my eye:


But this is something you have to figure out on your own.

Nobody can help you. That's what love's all about, Kafka. You're the one having those wonderful feelings, but you have to go it alone as you wander through the dark. Your mind and body have to bear it all. All by yourself."

Oh ! I came here to post that quote by Stephen Chbosky. That quote is so profound.
 
I came to post a quote from The Perks of Being a Wallflower as well! Here are a few more that I enjoy:

"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it."
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

"Take it from me, fate doesn't care most of the time."
Dianna Wynne Jones, Castle in the Air

"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
 
My favorite book quote of all time is definitely from Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities:

(The Period)

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.'
 
"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future." David Mitchell - Cloud Atlas
