Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week's topic is a book quote freebie where you can chose quotes that fit a certain theme. I am just going to share my favorite quotes of the year so far. I will also be linking last year's top ten Tuesday with the same theme.
1. “When people gave you work to do, you stopped being a person and became a part of the scenery. Sometimes that was convenient.”
2. Of all the myriad races of thinking creatures in the world, the two that most delight in telling stories are the flesh-and-blood humans and the long-lived, fiery jinn.”
3. “I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia.”
4. “And you must always remember there's one good thing about being trapped down here: it'll save funeral expenses.”
5. “Puddleglum is the name. It doesn't matter if you forget it, I can always tell you again.”
6. “When grown-ups get on their high horses, those things gallop for days.”
7. “I had no right to decide what they were or weren’t capable of handling. Adults were always doing that to me, and I hated it.”
8. “My good old panic, this familiar terror. I wish I could explain, but it's like there are no exact words. Every single interaction is potentially hazardous. Medicated, unmedicated, important, frivolous--everything could be a second away from destroying me.”
9. “Why is pain the emotion we so easily make our home? It’s like we sign up for the thirty-year mortgage on pain, but only do short-term leases or annual time-shares on pleasure.”
10. “In this moment he was just a boy -brilliant, blessed with too much power, burdened by eternity.”
#8 is powerful. Always nice to see Narnia too. :)
