Top Ten Tuesday: Favourite Book Quotes!

Description Top Ten Tuesday is a weakly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every week a different topic comes up and bloggers list their top ten books in that category. I love a good list...I've always said that. That's practically my catchphrase.
Top Ten Favourite Book Quotes!


I really enjoy a good quote. Although I do think most quotes don't actually mean much because they are taken out of context...but oh well they are still lovely! I have realised my emo side in this post...I mainly like quotes that make me sad. Also, I cheated a little and used poetry too!

Quote is From: 'Wise Children' by Angela Carter

Why I Love This Quote: Angela Carter is one of the greatest writers of all time and her books are seriously special. When I think of them I think of glamour, sparkles, feathers, sex, smeared lipstick. For me, this quote sums up that aspect of her novels and I love it.

Quote is From: 'Piazza Place' by John Crowe Ransom (Poem) Why I Love This Quote: OK so this isn't really a quote...more of a whole poem! I just love this poem...I think of the first stanza as being spoken by Death which is quite morbid but I love the image it creates!

Quote is From: 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' by T.S Eliot. Why I Love This Quote: This is an extract from the long poem by T.S Eliot. I love this poem, in which a man is depicted who is awkward and unsure. I love the last stanza above especially.

Quote is From: 'The Circus Animals Desertion' by W.B Yeats

Why I Love This Quote: I love the imagery. I love the idea that poetry and literature is born of other people's scraps all jumbled together and the heart itself is a 'rag and bone shop'.

Quote is From: 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak
*SPOILER ALERT* Why I Love This Quote: I think there has been a theme in this post that suggests I love quotes that make me sad...and this is probably the one that I cried the most tears over. It is beautifully written and so gorgeous, just like the rest of the book.

Quote is From: 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte:

Why I Love This Quote: It is timeless. Jane, so proper, so quiet, just needs love to bring out this passionate speech...which has me in tears every time. So lovely. Also, I love this delivery by Ruth Wilson and think she brings it to life perfectly:
