Favourite Quotes

-
While you are reading, you're engrossed into the plot and you're walking along the line with the characters, and something happens, a line or a sentence catch your attention more than the others. 
You feel the need to write it down, to highlight it, to copy paste it- SOMETHING to immortalize these words. 
I personally have a wall of things I keep sticking my favourite book quotes, authors' personally sayings on. 


Here are some of my favourite ones so far (because it keeps on piling and piling the more books I read): 

    • "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." ― Albert Einstein 
    • "I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set,  I go into the other room and read a book." ― Groucho Marx 
    • “Half the night I waste in sighs, Half in dreams I sorrow after The delight of early skies;In a wakeful doze I sorrow For the hand, the lips, the eyes, For the meeting of the morrow, The delight of happy laughter, The delight of low replies.” ― Alfred Tennyson, Maud, and other poems
    • “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” ― Robert A. Heinlein
    • “If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ― E.B. White
    • “You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment and that you have to live each day like it's your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You're probably not gonna get hit by a bus. And you're gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years.”  ― Chris Rock
    • “Only dumb people try to impress smart people. Smart people just do what they do.” ― Chris Rock
    • “If writers wrote as carelessly as some people talk, then adhasdh asdglaseuyt[bn[ pasdlgkhasdfasdf.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish
    • “Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” ― Orson Welles
    • “If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.” ― Dorothy Parker
    • “I think I've discovered the secret of life -- you just hang around until you get used to it.” ― Charles M. Schulz
    • "Deserve your dreams." ― Octavio Paz 
    • "An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools" ―  Ernest Hemingway
More to come...

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead Book Review

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #3 EPIC-TASTIC FINALE  I took my time with this one. It was worth savouring each page. I can't express how much I love this series. Magnus, Samirah, Blitz, Hearth, Mallory, T.J and Half-born have become my friends (in my head). The book has the typical Riordan's ingredients. It is hilarious, the adventures just don't stop, the actions even how gruesome it is, you are not horrified, you root for the characters, the plot has a flow and you learn tons on specific mythology, and this case, it's on Norse.  I could not help myself picturing Loki, Odin, Thorn, Heimdall and Frigg as the actors in Marvel's Thor. Though picturing Thor, Chris Hemsworth as a Metallica fan who likes to fart a lot was hard. I had to stretch my imagination there.  I won't summarise the story - those who read the first two will know what is going to happen in this and why our young (mostly dead heroes) are hell-bent in stopping Loki's

Vortex Visions Book Review

Vortex Visions, Book one of the Vortex Chronicles Reading Vortex Visions was like coming back to a place you visited a long time ago. I loved Air Awakens books, with Vhalla and Aldrik. Elise Kova knows how to create worlds and inhuman creatures that become normal for you, such as in the Loom Chronicles. And I expected the same with Vortex Visions, Elise definitely delivered.  Vhalla, being one of my favourite female book characters, it was pretty normal that I love her daughter. She is a good mix of Aldrik and Vhalla. I nearly forgot the promise Vhalla made to Sehra. I'm glad it was not shown how it happened, I wouldn't bear watching Aldrik and Vhalla letting go of Vi. Anyway, few first pages of the book and I was already hooked. We heard about and met the original characters. We met new characters that slowly became my favourites as well, except Andru. His first expression got me suspicious and I nearly hated him.  I must say it took me a while to understand that Romu

Chosen Champion Book Review

Chosen Champion, Book 2, Vortex Chronicles You did not just end the book like this! Fortunately, the next one comes within a week. And contrary to the first book, this one kept me on edge with Vi going on her adventure. I was excited for her that she would finally meet Taavin and then scared as well since she will meet the enemy and as the crown princess, people will just use her to gain more power.  I think the one thing that stood out most in this book is the reveal of the traitor. I must say I am not happy that I wasn't surprised. I was suspicious of that person since the Winter Solstice festival and the person was always grumpy, or on edge. I don't know how to describe it but I know that I did not trust that person at all.  Well, good riddance, though knowing the father of the traitor, I felt a little sad. He doesn't deserve that. I like him from Air Awaken's chronicles. Ugh!  And the second thing that stood out in this book is meeting Vhalla, again. It was
