Favorite Book Quotes
I don't know...
I don't know about all of you people, but I really love quotes. In my basement, I have a large bulletin board that I post all my favorite quotes (and stuff like that) on. I was thinking that we could all start posting quotes that we like alot. They can be funny, or inspiring, serious, anything you want...
To start it off, here's mine:
"Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn't the way they actually are." -John Green (of course:)

Horribly sad book!!!!! Percy Jackson is amazing. Have all the books. My favorite quote is from Harry Potter:
"Why are you worrying about You-Know-Who? You should be worried about U- No- Poo! The constipation sensation that's gripping the nation!" I usually do not approve of references to body waste but this is hilarious.

Some other favorites:
The things that made you weird as a kid make you great today. -James Victore

I guess that's the point of it all. No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Often times, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same. -Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher

I see so many books in this list that I love! When You Reach Me, The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Breadcrumbs, Anne of Green Gables. I really ought to read them all again.

That "When You Reach Me" quote almost made me cry. It's so true, and I wish all the people in the world that mean to do bad things would stop for a second. And look around and see all the damage they've caused, all the lives they've ruined, all the people and animals they've hurt. And they would wonder if they wanted to do that anymore.
Okay, now I'm actually crying and my keyboard is getting wet so I'll stop...

When You Reach Me is my favorite book of all time. (I put Harry Potter in a different category.) I have read WYRM 9 times and I love it every time. I wrote a review on it. U should check out in another thread (can't remember which).

"Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected will never happen." -The Phantom Tollbooth
"Everyone looked alike, and some looked more like each other than they looked like themselves." -The Phantom Tollbooth
My gosh is that an awesome book. I just started re-reading it, and within 25 pages there were two awesome quotes.
Cappie says bhyc. You want a bike, cappie?
(May 20, 2014 - 6:57 am)
Yay, more Phantom Tollbooth
"I didn't know words could be so confusing!"
"Only when you use a lot to say a little."
"You'll find that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort."
And now one from Percy Jackson that made me laugh.
"'Hey, Grover!'
He stopped and turned at the edge of the woods.
'Wherever you're going, I hope they make good enchiladas!'"

"Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories." -Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

"I try very hard to be annoying, don't insult my ability to annoy." -Leo Valdez in The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Cappie says itdi. Itdi? I don't know what you mean, cappie. (I'll post some more quotes later :) )

"Some people are worth melting for." - Olaf
...
Okay. Yes. Technically speaking, it's not a book, but I'd love a book about Olaf.
"'Okay?'
'Okay.'" - TFiOS
"So we'd be hiding behind a tree and Hegbert (what kind of parents name their kid Hegbert, anyway?)" - A Walk to Remember

What's A Walk to Remember? That book sounds so familiar, but I just can't place it.
Oh, if we're doing Olaf quotes, then look out, because I have just too many:
"I'm thinking maybe some crimson, chartruese, how about yellow? Wait, yellow and snow? No go."

"I don't have a skull...or bones..."
