This was incredibly difficult -- not so much finding the quotes as narrowing it down to 10. What is one of your favorites? Let me know!
What a fun post! I love the quotes from How to Kill and Wonder, especially.

Some of those quotes made me shake my head in agreement. Others just gave me the giggles. :) Great picks! I am currently reading Rock Bottom by Erin Brockovich, and some of her quotes have also made me giggle. I even read this one to my hubs: "Ever wake up in the morning, waiting for the coffee to finish brewing as you pour your kid's cereal, feeling like you've wandered into The Sound of Music, the sun shining, the birds are humming, and so are you? But, then the dream ends with a crash, and it's the kid shaking you awake, the alarm is blaring, there're no clean socks, it's five minutes till the school bus, he needs lunch money, all you have is a quarter and two cough drops, and all you want to do is crawl back into that dream world?"
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes! That P&P quote is one of my favorites!

I almost picked that HP quote instead of the one I ultimately chose. Both of those are amazing. I also like the one about "Just then, Neville caused a slight diversion by turning into a large canary." :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT!

Great idea! I love all the quotes you pulled, but I especially love that you have The Siren on a list with Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter ;)

DeleteFun quotes!! I loved doing that topic! I could have found 10 HP quotes or 10 from TFIOS too! They're both insanely quote worthy. I love "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" its defintely one of my favs.
