Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the first Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Favorite Book Quotes - I'm narrowing it down to some of my favorites from books I've read in the last year or so. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title:
“When a man's stories are remembered, then he is immortal.” - Big Fish by Daniel Wallace
“Myths do not happen all at once. They do not spring forth whole into the world. They form slowly, rolled between the hands of time until their edges smooth, until the saying of the story gives enough weight to the words—to the memories—to keep them rolling on their own. But all stories start somewhere, and that night, as Rhy Maresh walked through the streets of London, a new myth was taking shape.” - A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab
“There is nothing more terrifying than the absoluteness of one who believes he's right.” - The Diviners by Libba Bray
“Fiction is truth, even if it is not fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die.” - Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
“Too many books. Too few centuries.” - Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
“Because,” said Thor, “when something goes wrong, the first thing I always think is, it is Loki’s fault. It saves a lot of time.” - Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
"Knife to the throat?" asked Inej.
"Gun to the back?" said Jesper.
"Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina.
"You're all horrible," said Matthias.” - Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
“You destroy buildings, fight monsters openly in the streets of the city, work with the police, show up in newspapers, advertise in the phone book, and ride zombie dinosaurs down Michigan Avenue, and think that you work in the shadows? Be reasonable.” - Skin Game by Jim Butcher
“The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability.” - Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel
Have you read any of these books? What are some of your favorite quotes? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below.
I've only read Six of Crows, but these are all great!
ReplyDeleteI still need to make it to the sequel!
DeleteI love that one from Norse Mythology! MAde me laugh. when in doubt, blame Loki lol. The Waking Gods one is good too (say that one fast three time ha ha) and so is the one from Cruel Prince. I think that one will be popular. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds about right to me! :D
DeleteI don't think I could manage that tongue twister. :)
I have not read any of these books The Norse Mythology me made me laugh! I can relate to the Nevernight one on a deep level xD. These are all great!

I feel you there on Nevernight!

I love the Jim Butcher quote. Harry Dresden is a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteHere is out Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
You can't go wrong with The Dresden Files. :)
DeleteI had an ACOL quote on my list this week too, a different one, but I love the one you chose as well.

Cool!
DeleteThanks for sharing.
I loved that quote from The Cruel Prince when I read it, but I forgot to write it down (if I had it definitely would have been on my list!). I also really like the Jay Kristoff quote you've chosen: I've seen a lot of his quotes on these lists today, and they're all brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHere are my ten favourite quotes.
I'm bad at writing down favorite quotes, too...
DeleteThanks for sharing, Alyce.
I love Jim Butcher. Dresden has such great one-liners in that series. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, he certainly does!
DeleteOh God, I totally need to read Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman!!
ReplyDeleteRonnie @ Paradise Found

ReplyDeleteYay! I actually didn't realize Big Fish was a book until recently - I love the movie adaptation with Ewan McGregor. :)

Thanks for sharing, Joann. :)
DeleteThat Six of Crows scene is such a delight. Oh no, what does that say about us?
ReplyDeleteOh well! :D
DeleteI feel silly admitting this, but I didn't realize that Big Fish was a novel. I loved the movie (and I love the quote you chose), so I now feel like I need to read the book!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize until recently either - I hope you'll like the book. :)
DeleteSix of Crows! I love the dynamics in the novel (even though I still ship Kaz and Inej). x)
ReplyDeleteThe Nevernight is sooo true as a bookworm though. There's never enough time in a day to read all of them, much less our lives.
Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts
The characters are fantastic in Six of Crows! :)
DeleteNice list! I haven't read any of these book yet but all these quotes looks fabulous. Six of Crows is high on my TBR :D

DeleteHAH! I highlighted this one when I read Norse Mythology too!
ReplyDelete“Because,” said Thor, “when something goes wrong, the first thing I always think is, it is Loki’s fault. It saves a lot of time.”
Woot! :D
