Books are my favorite. Maybe that's because I'm an introvert, but who knows. There are times when I sit there and quote books because the situation allows for it, but no one else has any idea what I'm talking about. :)Some of my favorite/most memorable books happen to be:
- The Outsiders
- The Harry Potter Series
- How to Train Your Dragon (that's a whole other story)
- Little Women
- Wuthering Heights
- The Chroni-wha-cles of Narnia (bahaha)
- The Circle Trilogy (by Ted Dekker)
- The Bible (believe it or not, it's one of my favorites, just because every time you read it it's like so... Pop)
And countless others that make me smile and recall fond memories every time they are mentioned.
Quotations are my second favorite. I think I got it from my sister, the writer. I keep journals full of absolutely nothing but quotations from books, songs, things people say, movies, facebook statuses, etc. And from each book I read I find at least 1 quotation....Sometimes I've been know to find upwards of 100.
Some of my most dear quotations include:
- "Why would I be afraid of what can't hurt me?" Black by Ted Dekker
- "If you wanna see something funny, it's a tough hood sticking his tongue out at his big brother..." The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
- "I wanna change, but I can't, and I just know I won't fit in anywhere." Little Women
- "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that." Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
- "But treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends, they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies." Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
What're your favorite books, quotes, songs, movies, all of the above. And why, is it sentimental, or is it just powerful?
