Book Quote of the Week!

Book Quote of the Week


"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."


From: The Four Loves
Author: C.S. Lewis
Genre: Adult nonfiction (apologetics)

Quote of the week is BACK!

For 2012, I'm going to begin resurrecting my 'Quote of the Week' feature that I started way back in 2010. Only this time, the quotes are all going to come from novels (as opposed to random-but-inspiring quotes)


Book Quote of the Week

"It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities"


From: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Author: J.K. Rowling
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy



What better way to usher in the new year than with some words of wisdom from good ol' Dumbledore?

Quote of the Week :)

"Innocence dwells with wisdom, but never with ignorance."

- William Blake

This quote is for all the 'eternal children' out there! I don't know the key to happiness or anything, but I like to think it has a little to do with keeping an inner childlike quality - in imagination, in compassion, in creativity, in excitement, in love.

Have a great week everybody!

Quote of the Week (:

A short quote this week... but still true! And this is one of my favorite pictures, though for the life of me I can't remember where I found it.

Have a great week, everybody! For those on Springbreak, be safe & responsible! :P

Quote of the Week!

Here's another quote by C.S. Lewis that's an anthem to all of us grown-up YA lovers :)

Have a great week, everybody!! Happy reading.

Quote of the Week!

Have a good week, everybody!

Quote of the Week!

Here's another one by Dr. Seuss :D

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."

And since I'm a Potter-ite, why not put up a picture from Hogwarts to go with it?!

Quote of the Week!

I've always loved this quote by Dr. Seuss, and I think it could be a good unofficial blogger motto.
So blogger pals, as you're posting and reviewing this week, remember Dr. Seuss and his words of wisdom:

"Be who you are and say what you feel,

because those who mind don't matter,

and those who matter don't mind."

If you'd like to use this in your blog, just link back to me. Have a great week!

Here's my Quote of the Week :D

This quote seemed what I needed to hear and remember as I get ready for yet another week of school...boo... so I just wanted to share it with everyone.

I forgot to post this last week, but if you want to use any of my quote-posters on your sites, that would be just peachy! Just link the thing back to me 8D. I design the posters myself and really try to get pictures that match the quote - hmmm so if there's ever a picture/quote combo that seems a little on the random side, you'll know where the madness comes from!

Have a good week everybody!

Quote of the Week!

As well as dreaming of being a writer, I definitely plan on being a teacher, and so this quote is one of my favorites. Hey college kids - we may be "grown ups" but we are still artists too, as long as we never let go of the little kid inside us! I want to try and remember that as I trudge on this semester, and just thought I'd share it with all of you <3.
Have a good week!

Quote of the Week!

I really like this image, not only for the personification of talent (which I see in the bass) but also in the man's actions of shielding and protecting his precious instrument. Like the man in the picture, we all have our own special talents and gifts, and I guess the challenge is how to nuture and protect our talents as we go out into "the real world."

Have a great week, everybody!

Quote of the Week!

It's the beginning of a new week, and time for an Uplifting Quote!

I especially picked this out with all the teachers and students in mind who have had to trek back to school...

Note: This looked a lot cooler on the website when I made it, and now it's kind of hard to read - apologies!

The quote is from the movie Big Fish:

"There are some fish that can't be caught. It's not that they're bigger or faster than the other fish, they're just touched by something extra."

Have a great week, everybody!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

So if you're a college student like me, you may be going back to school on Monday. If you are also like me, you are kicking and screaming and punching your pillow...
With that in mind, I present the first ever Quote-of-the-Week!
