    Hey girl! You need to read Every Day by David Leviathan:
    “It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.”

    @bdfontenot 10 лет назад +27

    One of my favorites comes from Vicious:
    “The paper called Eli a hero. The word made Victor laugh. Not just because it was absurd, but because it posed a question. If Eli was really a hero, and Victor meant to stop him, did that make him a villain? He took a long sip of his drink, tipped his head back against the couch, and decided he could live with that."

    a few (long) quotes:
    “It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” -Lemony Snicker, Horseradish
    "Fairytales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." -Neil Gaiman, Coraline
    “But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again" -C.S. Lewis, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe (in the dedication)
    "And only as you gasp your dying breath will you look back and realize that your life amounted to nothing more than a single drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?" -David Mitchell, The Cloud Atlas

    "Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore."
    - *Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451*

    I'm late but this is one of my favorites: "A nice thought: One was a book thief. The other stole the sky." The Book Thief by Markus Zusak . I just love it, because it is such a nice thought and it's perfect and I love it!

  • @Sophz235
    @Sophz235 10 лет назад +13

    Love all of these! I really love this Oscar Wilde quote at the beginning of The Night Circus: "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

  • @emmagrace5096
    @emmagrace5096 6 лет назад +3

    "There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for." -The Two Towers. I love this quote because there is some good in this world and in the time we are living in, right now it is hard to find. Books have a special way of showing us what is truly good and it helps us as readers understand that even though there is more hate, love is stronger.

  • @Aster_Risk
    @Aster_Risk 9 лет назад +20

    I have to say that one of my favorites comes from Wuthering Heights. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." Generally, that books is extremely quotable. Also, The Perks of Being a Wallflower... that whole book is a great quote.

    • @tavleenkaur9627
      @tavleenkaur9627 9 лет назад +5

    “Sometimes when we say things, we hear silence. Or only echoes. Like screaming from inside. And that’s really lonely. But that only happens when we weren’t really listening. It means we weren’t ready to listen yet. Because every time we speak, there is a voice. There is the world that answers back.” - Love Letters to the Dead

    "People accept the love they think they deserve" Stephen C. The Perks of being a Wallflower. I think this quote can be good or bad depending on the person. And I love The Book thief! I need to read all of these books

  • @CreativeDudette
    @CreativeDudette 9 лет назад +12

    ''We accept the love we think we deserve'' from Perks of Being a Wallflower
    'Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.'' (The first time I cried from a book)
    ''You think fairy tales are only for girls?'' (It goes on - Dash & Lily's book of dares)
    ''The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.” (And all the other quotes about the Labyrinth - Looking for Alaska)

  • @arawynnejane
    @arawynnejane 10 лет назад +4

    My favourite book (which has been for some time, but will likely change in the future, they always seem to) is The Fault In Our Stars (seems like a cliche, but I read it a long time ago and only recently re-read).
    And my favourite quote from it is one that I think a lot of people look over, but really touched me, and thats when Gus tells Hazel, "You used to call me Augustus."
    I feel it perfectly encapsulates the whole concept and feel of the book as a whole, and I feel like sometimes people get too caught up on the fancy quotes with their fancy words and forget the ones that just hit home hard....

  • @Vorision
    @Vorision 10 лет назад +2

    This video was great! I definitely liked hearing about your favourite quotes.
    Whenever I think of quotes from books I always immediately think of "Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt." - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five, that book is just so good. I really need to read more Hemingway and Steinbeck because I have not read For Whom the Bell Tolls or The Grapes of Wrath yet.

    @yaraelshiay 9 лет назад +4

    Oh my God you have the best taste in books! I rarely come across booktubers who read such diverse genres and have such a strong and different opinion on what makes a good book and such. I read Brave New World this year for school and although I don't think I'll read it again from start to finish, the chapters in which John talks with Mond were just mind blowing to me. I think Brave New World is an utopia though.
    Our teacher made us read a few essays about it before reading it so we can understand the depth of the story so I came across an essay written by Aldous Huxley about Brave New World and he describes his book as an utopia

    Quotes are so personal! I literally got goose bumps when you read yours out loud. And the Ignite Me quote has me reconsidering trying to read Shatter me again. . . I had SO MANY problems with the first one. Maybe I'll try again.
    I never finished reading Jane Eyre, but it sounds like SUCH A GOOD CLASSIC. It's been sitting on my bookshelf since I tried reading it for my English class and I just need to pick it up again.

    aaaah I LOVED this :) please, please do this more often!
    The favorite quote that I actually remember (apart from Divergent quotes which are the most powerful for me ever, like Harry Potter) is one from a book that I recently read, and it's from David Levithan's Everyday:
    "If you stare at the center of the universe, there is a coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other."
    awgrhh ♥ I love it so much :D

    @MagicOfBooks 10 лет назад

    @emmab4961 10 лет назад

    The book quote that has probably shook me up the most (if not necessarily being by favorite) is this one from The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson (a brilliant sci-fi book everyone needs to read.) It is: “'They think they've gone to heaven,' he says. 'They don't realize that means they're dead.'" I don't know what that spoke to me so much, but it truly did. Love your video!

  • @drewfransoso
    @drewfransoso 10 лет назад +1

    Awesome quotes there. Recognized some myself (I too love Brave New World). I have to say this isn't my favorite quote but my most recent-favorite quote is, "is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?" - Never Fade.

Who you are is special- so JUST BE the problem solver. JUST BE the friend. JUST be whoever makes you YOU, because if you JUST BE yourself, that person who you are JUST BEing is special. 😊

    This quote is from one of my recent reads and also now one of my most favorite books of all time! :D
    “I have learned above all is that no individual can reach the height of their potential without the love of others. We are not meant to be alone, Shahrzad. The more a person pushes others away, the clearer it becomes he is in need of love the most.”

    “Perhaps there is some secret sort of homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers. How delightful if that were true.” by Mary Ann Shaffer, "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society", one of the most underrated books ever, but such a great one!
