Top Ten Book Quotes

  
 Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.

This week is Top Ten Inspirational/ Thought Provoking Book Quotes. Finding book quotes seems like it would take a while so I'm going with movie quotes.  

1)

Guards! Knights! Squires! 

Prepare for battle.


2)

Merlin! Where are you? 

Have you found him? 

I haven't! 


3)

I don't give a fuck about your war or your president.

Okay then!

4)

There comes a time, my thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child. 



 5)

I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like, the Gas n Sip on a Saturday night, completely alone drinking beers- with no women anywhere?

 ...

 By choice, man

6)

 Ten years, man! Ten... where have you been for ten years?

7)

 I looked into it more deeply, and I found that apparently what happened was he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it, but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department he still gets a paycheck. 

 Se we just went ahead and fixed the glitch. 

 So... Milton has been let go? 

 Well, just a second there professor. We fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally. 

   

8)

 I don't think I'd like another job. 

 What are you going to do about money, and bills, and...?

 You know, I've never really liked paying bills. I don't think I'm gonna do that, either.

9)

 Why don't you get a job, Spicoli? 

 What for? 


10)

 I'm John. 

 I'm Sara. 


11)

 Hey guys one more thing. Hey this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial 4th of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic white males didn't want to pay their taxes. 

 lolololol


"Are you with us? Or against us?"

"Against you!"  

says a young Patrick Stewart!!!

    Great twist! I always think I could never find aka remember favorite book quotes, but Goodreads does have a nice feature for most of the books I look up that shares some quotes. Makes it easier for reviewers! :)

    Also, "Serendipity" is a cute little movie.

    Movie/tv quotes isn't something that sticks to me as much as book quotes. These are awesome! The only quotable show I've watched and adore is House M.D. and even those I've forgotten over that years :/

  21. Deanna @ A Novel GlimpseApril 30, 2019 at 9:30 AM

    These were so fun! I enjoyed taking a break from book quotes to relive some movie ones. I loved that Say Anything quote. I need to watch that movie again soon.

  22. Brooke LorrenApril 30, 2019 at 10:45 AM

    I like the quote from Say Anything. If I didn't have a book journal, I mmight not have had the quotes this week. Except the Wildcard one.

    Nice take! You're right, movie quotes can be a lot more memorable than books. Maybe it's the delivery?

    Wow, I am SHOCKED that you have a clip for all the movie quotes 😂😂 Guess what I have actually seen one of these! I saw Serendipity like 100 years ago, wooo! That's impressive really, out of what, 12 movies I actually saw one! (LOVE the Office Space one because... same.)

    Oh, so much classic goodness in here, I can't even. Excalibur was amazing, I still remember watching that for the first time and thinking, wow, there were a surprising number of famous actors in this before they made it to the big time.

    Kurt Russell really did his thing in Escape to New York, and I consider it a classic. He's good in all his movies. Hugs...RO

    What you've achieved with this post is you've made me want to watch Office Space again. I often think about that film when I am having printer issues or when I'm bored at work... so a lot. It's so good!
