Hello everyone! Today I address you as you truly are.
Wizards, mermaids... travelers... Wizards, mermaids, adventur...
Alright, uh, "I address you all tonight as you truly are.
Wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers."
Yes, today I am going to be reading to you a bunch of my favorite quotes from books.
I have about 500 favorite book quotes, but I narrowed it down to 30ish.
That's a completely random number, I have no idea how many of these I have
They're all spoiler-free, I made sure of that except for five of them, which I tagged and
they're at the very end, and I'll show you what they are beforehand
so if you're afraid that you haven't read them yet, I will let you know.
So no worries! You can sit back and enjoy this video without
any spoilers whatsoever. Let's begin.
“I slammed out of the [place] and started walking, heading nowhere in particular. Sometimes
you just need to go through a door.” True.
“Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what
they are.” “For the next twenty minutes, Georgie felt
like the hero of a romantic comedy.” Georgie, that's what you are.
“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors,
not his equals.” “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”
“Jesus!" Luke exclaimed. "Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although
I've been told the resemblance is startling.” “All that is gold does not glitter,/Not
all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither,/Deep
roots are not reached by the frost." “A flood of emotions rushes into me. Pain
and anger. Sadness and pity. But most surprising of all, hope.”
"Always." "Always."
"Alw--" mmm, not in this one... that's... “‘I’m sorry.’ I say. The two most
inadequate words in the English language.” True.
“There are a lot of human experiences that challenge the limits of our language... That’s
one of the reasons that we have poetry.” “But we aren't transparent. If we want someone
to know us, we have to tell them stuff.” "Aslan," said Lucy "you're bigger."
"That is because you are older, little one," answered he.
"Not because you are?" "I am not. But every year you grow, you will
find me bigger." I wanna talk about this one a little bit.
Most of you guys probably know that C. S. Lewis is a very devoted Christian,
and it's very easy to see the parallels between The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and
the Gospel. I like this quote because, I'm a Christian
myself, so going off of that, if Aslan is supposed to represent Jesus, and
he gets bigger every time that Lucy gets older, that shows that Lucy, the character, would
be growing in her faith. I don't know, I like that a lot. I really
like that. I don't know. Sorry for throwing religion in this, but I
mean, it's cool! It's cool. I really like, I love
the analogies that it makes. "Closing my eyes doesn’t help. Fire burns
brighter in the darkness." Deep. That got really deep. That's really
deep. I love it. “I just want to break that song into pieces
and love [every lyric] to death.” I feel. I feel. I feel!
“Denial is a powerful thing. It makes you believe lies.”
And, two more quotes that I couldn't find the physical copy
of this book for, that I'm just gonna read off this paper.
Not as artistic as I wanted, either. “How do you not like the Internet? That's
like saying, 'I don't like things that are convenient. And easy. I don't like having
access to all of mankind's recorded discoveries at my fingertips. I don't like light. And
knowledge.” Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl.
“Laughing doesn’t make bad things worse any more than crying makes them better.”
Ransom Riggs, Hollow City. Truuue.
I like that one. Laughing doesn't make bad things worse.
Now I have five books here that have five more quotes that are some of my favorites
that I really want to feature in this video, So if you have not read Legend, The End, Carry
On, I'll Give You the Sun, or Anomaly, - all FANTASTIC books, absolutely some of
my favorites - specifically Anomaly, that is one of my favorite
books it doesn't get enough attention at all.
But I'm going to spoil them in this order, you can just mute your screen and wait for
one that you've read or you can just stop watching, read these
books, and come back Whatever you want to do. I just figured I
should probably put a spoiler warning before you
guys all start yelling at me. It's my biggest fear that one day I'll spoil
a book for someone. So I'm gonna spoil these books!
Beware, be warned. They're fantastic, read them anyway.
Let's go. “Each day means a new twenty-four hours.
Each day means everything's possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment,
you take it all one day at a time.” "Beatrice."
Ahhh...! That was the biggest plot twist of my childhood,
I am telling you, that was... Ahhh...!
Beatrice... Side note on this quote: my friend was reading
it once and every time I saw her reading it, I would
just take the book from her, and flip to page 342, and just read it again
and then I'd read it again, and then I'd read it again
because... ahhh, they're so cute! "I just want to kiss him, then go. 'Simon...,'
I say. And then he kisses me.” "I'm going to die kissing Simon Snow. Simon
Snow is going to die kissing me." "Simon Snow is still going to die kissing
me. Just not today." This is a rereadable book. I will totally
go back and reread this, it's so good. Ahhh...!
“I’ll give you the sun.” “I will die the way I finally learned to live. Fully
aware. At peace. With a heart so full of love that even as it slows, it is still full. Because
I know something the Scientists refuse to acknowledge. Death is only the beginning.”
Well, those are some of my favorite book quotes up to now
and I'm sure as I keep reading fantastic books I'll find more fantastic quotes,
and maybe this video will have a sequel some time in the future.
For now, leave a comment telling me some of your favorite book quotes, whether they were
in this video or not, and I look forward to reading some of those
books you guys talk about. Because, I'm all for book quotes. Book quotes
are great. They're always there for me, you know. You
know? ...When I need to make puns.
That's all I have to say! That's all I have to say for this video.
