Top Ten Inspiring Quotes
1. “I celebrate myself, and sing myself.”- Leaves of Grass
2. “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.” – Atticus Finch- To Kill a Mockingbird
3. “Get busy living or get busy dying.”- Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption
4. “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” The Great Gatsby
5. “It is a truth universally that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”- Pride & Prejudice
6. “Tomorrow I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”
7. “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” – The Fault in Our Stars
8. “Always.”-Severus Snape- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
9. “Shadow is only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.” – The Return of the King
10. “But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”- Brave New World
OMG! The best quote ever! “But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”- Brave New World
I love the Brave New World quote! That was one of my favorite quotes when I read the book.
Love the Pride and Prejudice quote too. 🙂

Oh, the classics. This makes me feel like a serious re-read of everything inspiration on my shelves is in need!
My TTT
I know- I am really considering taking a few months to only do rereads!
Really wanted to do this Top Ten Tuesday, but thought I’d be repeating a lot of the books I’ve used in the past. I adore that quote from Return of the King, though–almost my favorite from the entire trilogy. And of course the one from To Kill a Mockingbird.
