Top Ten Favorite Quotes From Books

I’m participating again in Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Basically every Tuesday the peeps over at The Broke and the Bookish post their top ten lists on various topics. They even have a special Top Ten Tuesday page where they have previous topics and upcoming topics discussed as well.  


This week's topic is Top 10 Favorite Quotes From Books


I have LOTS of favorite quotes! But when it comes to listing it down... My mind goes... -.-


Okay. The first one would totally be this one:

1) "Demon pox, oh, demon po. Just how is it acquired? One must go down to the bad part of town, Until one is very tired. Demon pox, oh, demon pox. I had it all along--No, not the pox, you foolish blocks, I mean this very song---For I was right and you were wrong!" - Will Herondale, Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare.

We all love this one :D


2) "You're everything I write about in my songs, but can never have" - Jax Stone, Breathe by Abbi Glines.

Gah! When Jax say it like that... I just went to tears-are-almost-going-to-spill territory.

3) "Those are cumulus clouds. Did you know that?.. They're the best ones." "How come?" "Because they look the way clouds are supposed to look, the way you draw them when you're a kid. Which is nice, you know? I mean, the sun never looks the way you drew it." - Oliver and Hadley Sullivan, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Let me tell you something. I am a terrible painter/drawer/whatever you want to call it. So, I am totally on Oliver side with this ;)


4) "Everybody can whistle" - Amy Curry, Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Hmm... I find that totally untrue.


5) "Bring me a gun" - Audrey Cuttler, Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway.

I feel that way sometimes ;)


6) "I doubt they'll see it that way, Wesley?" "Not. Even. Close." - Kat Bishop and W.W. Hale, Heist Society by Ally Carter.

Gah! I wanna friggin' know what the W in W.W Hale stands for!


7) "I know how devastated you must be to miss me, but leave a message, and I'll try to ease your agony" - Adran Ivashkov, Blood Promise by Richelle Mead


8) "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real." - Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I think I giggled at that(and probably cried a little ;))


9) "Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book." - Hazel Grace Lancaster, The Fault In Out Stars by John Green

Hmm... Hazel and I could've been best friend. *High-five Grace!*


10) "I can't believe you 're allowing him to do this. Next thing we know, you'll be dating a human." - Ash, Shadows by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

We all know how true that is :D

Those are my Top 10. What are yours?
