TTT: Top Ten Inspiring Quotes from Books/Movies


This weeks topic is Top Ten Inspiring Quotes from Books


These are a few of my favorite lines or quotes (in no particular order) from some of the books/movies that I've loved. Each one has some special meaning, whether it made me cry, laugh, smile or I drew some inspiration from the words.  

1.
Quotes from the Prisoner of Azkaban 
- Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
- You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us?  You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?  Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him.  

2.

8.
“It's so weird how life is so full of moving around--people coming and going, people passing by each other all day long. You never know which person's going to steal your heart. You never know which is going to settle your soul. All you can do is look. And hope. And believe.” ― Natalie LloydA Snicker of Magic

9.   “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.”  - Walt Disney

10.  "Life moves pretty fast.  You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."  -Ferris Bueller's Day Off


My Favorite Line is "If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.  Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."  The Crow

    1. Winnie the Pooh is always so quote worthy, but it's one of my favorites.

  6. What wonderful quotes. HP #3 is one of my favorite books and I love the quotes you chose. I started Capurnia Tate a couple years ago (only read a couple pages and had to return it to the library and somehow never started it again). I like the quote you shared from it and am thinking I should check it out again! :)
