DeleteDumbledore's wise words about not dwelling on dreams gets me. Every. Time. That whole scene between him and Harry in front of the Mirror of Erised never fails to make me tear up. Love the Celaena quotes, too! I bet she's going to have a ton of memorable lines in Queen of Shadows!

YES! Thank you Mel ♥ Dumbledore's wisdom never ceases to amaze me. Celaena IS the BEST, I freaking love her to pieces. That Tolkien quote seriously gives me chills every time I think about it! And that Karou quote has always been one of my favorites but then again, the entire trilogy is incredibly quotable ♥
Delete<3<3<3<3
ReplyDeleteI love that so many of your quotes are from Harry Potter! You can't go wrong there. :) The Tolkien quote has always been one of my favorites too. I haven't read the Heir of Fire and the other books in that series but I love these quotes and they make me want to read them! Great list!
