Q: Activity: Favorite Literary Quote.
This is hard to pick. Being a booklover also means "having a lot of favorite quotes" to me. I will show you three random quotes from two books I love dearly: (I'm going to resist quoting Harry Potter)
“Sometimes I think that maybe we are just stories. Like we may as well just be words on a page, because we're only what we've done and what we are going to do.”
" I like to think that nothing's final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don't, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the woods, and that I'll see you sometime again, even if it's not with any kind of eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy."

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy."
“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”


Great quotes, especially the one from the book thief:)
