quotes

day 12 - share ten of your favorite quotes

Skipping another day of the 17-day-challenge. Nobody's going to notice that...and if you noticed it...ssssh. Okay, I told you...whatever. Rambling over.

I'm not big of a quote person, but I own a notebook where write down quotes I like, so I'm going to share some of the quotes I can find in there.

"Brotherhood is about a hell of a lot more than sharing the same parented units."
-John Green
"It made her think that it was curious how much nicer a person looked when he smiled. She had not thought of it before."
-The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgsen Burnett
"People alive are better than people not alive."
-Craig Benzine
"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person."
-John Green
"I do not want to live in a world where we only focus on suck, and never think about awesome."
-Hank Green
"When I look at my room I see a girl who loves books."
-Looking for Alaska by John Green
"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it."
-The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger
"All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to."
-The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger
"Orange juice and brushing your teeth is like...eating soup upside-down. It just doesn't work."
-NicePeter
"Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we’re quoting."
-John Green

I have my reasons why I picked these quotes. When you look at the who all these quotes said you'll notice that they have something in common. They're either from a book I read or from someone on YouTube. This means that I'm 100% sure that these quotes have been said/written by these people, because I heard/read it with my own ears/eyes.
Quotes are often wrong or put from ones persons mouth into another...

    Love all of these, especially the John Green ones. And I just started read The Catcher in the Rye a day or two ago. :)
