Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and Bookish.
1. “The prettiest road I'd ever seen, where trees made breezy canopies like a tunnel to Shangri-La" Jellicoe Road, of course.
2. “Happy Hunger Games. And may the odds be ever in your favor."
3. “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.” Winnie-the-Pooh.
4. “It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” The Alchemist.
5. “Don't think or judge, just listen.” Can you guess which Sarah Dessen book?
6. “Victory is a thousand times sweeter when you're the underdog." The Summer I Turned Pretty.
7. “Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.” If I Stay.
8. “What exactly was the difference? he wondered to himself. And who decided which people wore the striped pajamas and which people wore the uniforms?” The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
9. ALL Dr. Seuss quotes. Like, “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened”or “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
10. “From this distance everything is so bloody perfect.” Jellicoe again.
So many excellent ones! My brain is on overload from all the wisdom.

I love the Jellicoe Road quote. It makes me want to reread and experience the amazing-ness all over again.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday
I chose one from Saving Francesca, but I could've listed so many from On the Jellicoe Road! Awesome list
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Jellicoe Road but have heard great things! I had such a hard time with this theme I ended up doing my own Top ten Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read many of these, but that Hunger Games quote is a classic. :D
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I have always loved that particular Winnie the Pooh quote. What a perfect description of love.
ReplyDeleteHooray I love all of this! :) I especially love Winnie the Pooh -- classic, I tell you!
ReplyDeleteWinnie the Pooh <3 Such a shame that I already made a list, otherwise he would be in there too. He can say so many smart things - sometimes :p

Sooo many books I still have yet to read. Great choices for quotes. That Dessen one is a real stumper trying to figure out which one it comes from ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could live in a Dr Seuss book, just to be with his words.
ReplyDeleteLove Jellicoe Road!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me realize I need to keep better track of my favorite quotes, either through Goodreads or a notebook.
I am ticked at myself for missing this week's post! I had most of it typed up then forgot all about it lol
ReplyDeleteLove the Dr. Seuss ones, of course! And hhmm lemme think on which Sarah Dessen book that may be :P
