Quotable 2016
/
One of my favorite things to do is to write down quotes from my favorite books in my reading journal. Here are some of the best from 2016.
“She was upbeat and harmless as an educational toy, and it was never insincere - in fact, she was a one-woman plague of sincerity, the Patient Zero of earnest zeal.”
“If we want to see people take risks, we have to be prepared to sometimes see them fail.”
“She had such a demanding relationship with her own reflection. Rosaleen challenged her looks, and they rose to meet her.”
“The miracle was a quiet thing: I open my eyes and was given a chance to try.”
“Never discount the possibility of turning up an answer none of the current theories predicts.”
“Whatever else they may be, weeds are optimists.”
“Truth was never the point.”
“And the good news is that for most of us, most of the time, better times do come around eventually.”
“‘Well,’ Mary said contentedly. ‘Now we can save the next part for tomorrow. Every day we can read one part, and that will make the stories last longer.’
’That’s my wise girls.’ said Ma.
So Laura did not say that she would rather read as fast as she could.”
“I don’t care who you are or who you saved, you are a constant curse on my family Harry Potter.”
“The real gift of the holiday season, A.J. thinks, is that it ends.”
What a good reading year! I can't wait to see what 2017 brings.
