There are some fantastic quotes there. Number 5 is my favourite there.
If I were to choose a series to pick my favourite quotes of a series then they would be from the Harry Potter series
Harry Potter does have great quotes and lessons, I agree!
I love the Never laugh at live dragons quote. Sure it’s been said a hundred ways before, but that’s a good way. About the escapist quote; I wonder if R.R Martin would share that view.
I chuckled at the dragon one, yeah.
I don’t know. I don’t read Martin’s works.
Not a quote, but I never understood how Tolkien invented an entire language but still called the “scary” place Mount Doom. I read Lord of the Rings in high school and 15 years later am still puzzled. 🙂
I know exactly what you mean! Maybe he got tired after a while. Or maybe he meant to edit it out and just forgot, lol.
My brother and I used to joke about the bright red circle he had circling it that got forgotten in the editing process. 🙂
Lol, you never know.
A quote that always makes me laugh is this; ‘“Constant vigilance!” You’d think I walk around with my eyes shut, banging off the walls…’ – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
And then one I think is sweet; ‘Don’t argue with me. You’re beautiful.’ – Fangirl.
I do love quotes!
Quotes are the best, I agree. 🙂
I like number five. It’s true.
I agree.
“Little by little, one travels far.”
Feel like this is us with our blogging and looking back and thinking “Wow this has come so far.” even though we never realised it.
Yes! That makes so much sense. And it actually makes me feel a little better, lol.
