Top Ten Tuesday - Quotes

11/17/2015

This weekly frenzy of listing is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

I really don't keep track of quotes from books I'm reading. I often wish I did, because I'd love to look back someday at all of the quotes I've loved (hmm, I'm sensing a New Year's resolution in the making. . .) So this post is going to be more like Top Two Tuesday. I read I Am Malala over the weekend, and I wrote down a couple of quotes that jumped out at me.

"Education is neither Eastern nor Western; it is human."

"At night our fear is strong. But in the morning, in the light, we find our courage again."

I find that second quote especially inspiring in view of the events in Paris and around the world over the weekend. In the morning, we find our light (God's Light) again.

If you haven't read I Am Malala yet, I highly recommend it. Her story is incredibly inspirational.

I don't write them down either. I have started taking pictures of pages from books when I read something I like. Then I at least have a record, so I can put the quotes in my reviews. It's not a very good system though. I definitely could not have done this Top Ten Tuesday topic. :)

Taking pictures is a great idea. I'd really like to find a way to change this about my reading habits in the near future. I might just borrow that idea...

I'm very much the same as you, Julie. Not keeping book quotes, but over the past couple of months I've started to write down those that I quite enjoy. The more I read, the more I want to remember and yet the less I remember. Haha!
