We recently asked our Teen Board which book quotations are their favorites. You probably have one yourself --- you read an excellent book and a line just sticks with you. You may not know why (and maybe not even care,) but there it is, in the back of your mind, on the tip of your tongue or on the back of your eyelids. It speaks to you in some way, and that's all that matters. Maybe you even recite it during the perfect moment, and you smile to yourself because it's your own inside joke.
Let's see which quotations stood out to a few members of the Teen Board.
"Ignorant. It's not their fault. They inherit the ignorance of their parents and hand it onto their children like a tradition, like a craft. They drink in the ignorance, with their powered milk, with each bottle of beer, and in the end they make their coffins of ignorance." --- Antonia Michaelis, THE STORYTELLER
Samantha W.: "'In our world,' said Eustace, 'a star is a huge ball of flaming gas.' 'Even in your world, my son, that is what a star is, but not what it is made of.'" --- C.S. Lewis, VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER
Cara S.: "Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.” --- Harper Lee, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
Patrick C.: “Cruelty does not make a person dishonest, the same way bravery does not make a person kind.” ― Veronica Roth, INSURGENT
Jennifer B.: “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” --- J.K Rowling, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX
Sally T.: “We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreparably broken.” ― John Green, LOOKING FOR ALASKA
Ashley L.: “It's funny how you can forget everything except people loving you. Maybe that's why humans find it so hard getting over love affairs. It's not the pain they're getting over, it's the love.” ― Melina Marchetta, ON THE JELLICOE ROAD
Rachael W.: "Friends don't eat friends' souls" --- Brodi Ashton, EVERNEATH
"In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. But in the darkness the one man holding a candle is a target." --- Michael Grant, FEAR
