Top Ten Tuesday #3: Favorite Book Quotes

Top Ten Tuesday è una rubrica creata da The Broke and the Bookish nel 2010 e poi spostata su That Artsy Reader Girl nel 2018. Nasce da un'amore per le liste, un amore per i libri, e dal desiderio di far conoscere tra loro gli amanti dei libri.

La Top Ten Tuesday compie dieci anni, e questa volta possiamo scegliere un argomento passato della TTT che abbiamo fatto e aggiornarlo oppure che vorremmo aver fatto ma non ne abbiamo avuto la possibilità!

Mancando dal blog da molto tempo, ho optato per la seconda opzione e la mia scelta è ricaduta su

"I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect." His eyes searched mine intently, and for a moment we stood there toe to toe. "The ones who throw their beauty around, waste what they have? Their beauty is only passing. It's just a shell hiding nothing but shadows and emptiness."

Someone needs to tell those tales. When the battles are fought and won and lost, when the pirates find their treasures and the dragons eat their foes for breakfast with a nice cup of Lapsang souchong, someone needs to tell their bits of overlapping narrative. There's magic in that. It's in the listener, and for each and every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in ways they can never predict. From the mundane to the profound. You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift. Your sister may be able to see the future, but you yourself can shape it, boy. Do not forget that... there are many kinds of magic, after all.
- Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

The truth is, it benefits no one to live in a world where these things happen."
- Susanne Collins, Mockingjay

"Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.
No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh."
- Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

10.

Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.
