I believe you can already tell that I love to read(if you've seen my previous posts).As I have discovered the joys of reading I started looking for quotes in my favorite books as well as searching through Tumblr and other sources.I know that everybody has favorite little pieces of words and if you ever take your time to just put all those quotes on a paper one by one you'd be amazed by how good some describe life and feelings,some of them even explaining incredible things.I put together a few of my favorite quotes ever-even out of songs I frequently listen to.
"May it be a light to you in dark places,when all other lights go out."
J.R.R.Tolkien,The Fellowship of The Ring
"There are things that people cannot imagine but nothing that people will not do"
Zhang Wei,The Ancient Ship(my favorite book yet)
"I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life;but for me,I fell toward the Chairman just as stone must fall toward the earth."
Arthur Golden,Memoirs of a Geisha
"There is a goddess of Memory,Mnemosyne;but none of Forgetting.Yet there should be,as they are twin sisters,twin powers,and walk on either side of us,disputing for sovereignty over us and who we are,all the way until death"
I found this one in The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng but it is noted as a quote from Richard Holmes,A Meander Through Memory and Forgetting
"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading,you can only think what everyone else is thinking"-Haruki Murakami,Norwegian Wood
"I want you always to remember me.Will you remember that i existed,and that I stood next to you here like this?"
Haruki Murakami,Norwegian Wood
" "You must know Gatsby."
"Gatsby?"demanded Daisy."What Gatsby?" "
F.Scott Fitzgerald,The Great Gatsby
"She didn't seem to mind .She wasn't fearful at all.She seemed thoroughly satisfied with every decision she had ever made."
Elizabeth Gilbert-Eat Pray Love
"Tu n'es pas l'amour de ma vie
Tu es la vie de mon amour
Mon petit petit petit tres grand bonheur"
Celine Dion,Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour -if you do not know french this might seem wierd but try to guess what it's about.
"There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all"
The Beatles,In My Life
"If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,and then make a change"
Michael Jackson,Man In The Mirror
These are just a few of my favorite quotes as I can't write them all down-it would be too much.One thing that I haven't talked about is my obsession with books-I love to have books all around me and tend to get a little crazy when I see them in bookstores.As I look at my little collection of books I feel proud-that's not weird,right? One of my dreams is to have a giant library and books everywhere around the house.I also suck when it comes to the cover-I do not judge a book by its cover but when it has a cute one that's even better.
Do we share the same obsession with books?
