Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Quotes

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's Top Ten Tuesday asked us to compile a list of our favorite book quotes! This one was a fun one to put together! 

Honestly, it was bound to happen, I am just surprised it took this long. But our TTT officially has an injury count. Whenever I saw this week's topic, I knew I wanted to do something I hadn't done before and share some of my watercolor projects. But I didn't really have very many that I wouldn't be too embarrassed to share, so I knew I was going to have to pad what I already had with some new designs. 

And then the world decided to hate me. A lot. I kept messing up the projects I started, and then literally 5 seconds after opening a brand spanking new bottle of liquid frisket, which is so neat cheap, I dumped the whole thing all over my desk. So, that really sucked. Then, while I was switching out a painting in one of my frames, I sliced my finger on the frame's glass and bled freaking everywhere. I had to scrap a completed quote, and that broke my heart. 

But seriously, you're here for the quotes, so let's get to them already! 

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

 I cannot begin to express how much I love this movie. The book is fantastic, too of course. But the movie will always hold a very special place in my heart. Any time I am having a really awful day, I just turn this on, and it's an instant pick-me-up.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling

 This is one of my favorites from Harry Potter. It's so easy to get caught up in daydreams, and what might have been. Leave it to Dumbledore to always keep propelling us on the right path! 

Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

 I have always really loved this line! 

Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare

 As someone who is almost constantly consumed by doubt and fear, this is a good reminder that you shouldn't let those doubts and fears stop you. 

Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien

 This is an old quote painting that I did, and it still seriously bugs me that it's not centered. But, I really love this JRR Tolkien quote, so I figured I would include it! 

Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

 You know, I don't really even like this book that much. I don't dislike it, but honestly I barely remember it, it's been so long. But this is just so true!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling

 And here's Dumbledore again, doling out the sage wisdom. 

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

 I actually sincerely hate this book. I don't know if spoiler alerts for books written in the 1800s are a thing, but SPOILER ALERT. Any book that ends with a main character dying is not a book I will love. That being said, I love this line a lot. 

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling

This is a really old paining, too. But, since it was still in the frame whenever I was switching them out, I figured I might as well share! 

The Bonze Horseman by Paullina Simons

Of course The Bronze Horseman has to make this post! 

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

 

The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

I do like the Adrian quote. He was so right, even though I am team Dimka, I liked Adrian a lot. He was such a great character and she sooooo used him. And I was really mad at her for that. 

 

Gathering Darkness by Morgan Rhodes

And you can't forget Magnus and Cleo from Falling Kingdoms!
