Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Updates are now at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This Tuesday's topic is:
May 25: Book Quotes that Fit X Theme (Pick any theme you want, i.e., motivational quotes, romantic dialogues, hunger-inducing quotes, quotes that fill you with hope, quotes on defeating adversity, quotes that present strong emotions, healing, etc. and then select quotes from books that fit that theme.)


You don't have to come up with 10. It can be however many you want to list.

We got the new thread before Tuesday. I still have to decide on a topic.

BehrItAll

I got to think about this one.

IndyFan

I need to get going on this. Tuesday will be here soon.

LilMouse

I might be late with it. Maybe.

IndyFan

I was last week, but may make Tuesday this time, if I gather up my information
tonight (while watching The Voice)

LilMouse

The Voice is on two days a week?

IndyFan

Only two episodes left: Monday & Tuesday.

LilMouse

Enjoy it.

IndyFan

I hope to; still at school for band practice for 2 more hours.
Then, I will work on this Top Ten Tuesday situation.

BehrItAll

I am way too exhausted to do this.

May 25: Book Quotes that Fit X Theme ---> I picked love. Not all quotes are romantic love. One is parent & child love


1) “Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very own skin. Quirrel, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone


2) “I would have written you, myself, if I could put down in words everything I want to say to you. A sea of ink would not be enough.'

'But you built me dreams instead.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus


3)
“I made a wish on this tree years ago," Marco says.

"What did you wish for?" Bailey asks.

Marco leans forward and whispers in Bailey's ear. "I wished for her.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus


4) “I don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with.”
― Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society


5) “All my life I thought that the story was over when the hero and heroine were safely engaged—after all, what’s good enough for Jane Austen ought to be good enough for anyone. But it’s a lie. The story is about to begin, and every day will be a new piece of the plot.”
― Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society


6) “I know I'm not inspiring much confidence at this point, but there's something else I thought I'd bring up.” She lifted her eyes to him. “I love you more than I love books.”
― Cynthia Hand, My Lady Jane


7) “I meant it when I said I didn’t believe in love at first sight. It takes time to really, truly fall for someone. Yet I believe in a moment. A moment when you glimpse the truth within someone, and they glimpse the truth within you. In that moment, you don’t belong to yourself any longer, not completely. Part of you belongs to him; part of him belongs to you. After that, you can’t take it back, no matter how much you want to, no matter how hard you try.”
― Claudia Gray, A Thousand Pieces of You


8) “Whether love of friend, love of country, love of God, or even love of enemy—love reveals to us the truly miraculous nature of the human spirit.”
― Ruta Sepetys, Between Shades of Gray


9) “I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice


10) “The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

I was going to do something like that, but ended up taking my dad to the hospital,
so I missed another Tuesday posting. Maybe next week.....

Ankatje

I hope it's nothing serious and your dad is okay

And with the top ten Tuesday, I see as a week long event I'll be posting my list tomorrow!

LilMouse

Ditto to both of Anka's points.

I hope he's OK and nothing serious happened.

And it doesn't necessarily have to be a Tuesday . I'm not even against people going into past weeks.
