Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and Bookish.
There are so many good quotes in books but I am awful at remembering them. Thank goodness for Goodreads!
“The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.”
- Looking for Alaska, John Green
”You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”
- The Help, Kathryn Stockett
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
- To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
”The planet has survived everything, in its time. It will certainly survive us.”
- Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton
”We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.”
- Divergent, Veronica Roth
”I guess that’s just part of loving people. You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.”
-Delirium, Lauren Oliver
”My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy.”
Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare
“What is normal? Normal is only ordinary; mediocre. Life belongs to the rare, exceptional individual who dares to be different.”
My Sweet Audrina, VC Andrews
“We may not have a future, but you can’t deny we have a past.”
Life as We Knew It, Susan Beth Pfeffer
Love your quotes! A very nice mix of books :)

Brilliant list of quotes!!
Love these! And I’m always reading quotes on goodreads! It’s one of my favorite features that the site has.
I hardly ever use that feature and I really need to do it more because it would have been much easier to find my quotes that way.
I’m a fan of all of these! Way to work in My Sweet Audrina!
VC Andrews wrote a lot of good stuff, I picked that book at random. :)
I have a TKAM quote on my list today too! Love that book. I also like that Great Gatsby quote. How could I have missed that?!
Goodreads was so helpful for this week’s list! Love the Divergent and To Kill a Mockingbird one!

Sigh, I could read book quotes all day! I liked the one from Jurassic Park.
I was searching for a different quote in Jurassic Park but I saw that one and I liked it better. :)
I LOVE The Great Gatsby! I can’t believe I did not include a quote from it!! I love the quote from Life As We Knew It too, I have that on my shelf and I need to read it soon!
Life As We Knew it was really good and there were so many Gatsby quotes to choose from. They are all so good!
These quotes are amazing! I especially love the one from Divergent, as I believe in that too. Great list!
My Top Ten
I LOVE your Help quote. Fantastic!

that Divergent one looks familiar! ;) Obviously, I love it!!! And that line from The Help. It kills me every time I hear that little one say it in the movie or my head. Love, love, love that book/movie. Great list!!!
I love the book/movie too. I love it even more because the movie was a really good adaptation!
I love all of your quotes and they remind me of how much I still need to read!!! I’ll be reading Delirium next week and Divergent hopefully one day down the line.
Both are good books. Can’t go wrong with either.
I love yout Top 10 list!
Especially 2, 3, 4, and 5. The Michael Crichton is the best I love that quote :)

P.S. I’m holding a giveaway on my blog if you want to check it out.
I love that quote from To Kill a Mockingbird. I’ve never read that book. It was read to my school class by our teacher when I was 11. I can barely remember it. I should really pick it up.
You should! To Kill a Mockingbird is a fabulous book!
“It’s our choices that show what we truly are, not our abilities.” Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
I cannot tell you how made I was at myself for not including a single Harry Potter quote. What’s wrong with me?
I was pretty suprised. Maybe there are just so many good ones you could have done an entire list just for Harry Potter.
Those were some really great quotes. I enjoyed reading them.
I love that Delirium quote. So sad, but so true…
