Description
Top Ten Tuesday is a weakly meme hosted by . Every week a different topic comes up and bloggers list their top ten books in that category. I love a good list...I've always said that. That's practically my catchphrase.
Top Ten Favourite Book Quotes!
I really enjoy a good quote. Although I do think most quotes don't actually mean much because they are taken out of context...but oh well they are still lovely! I have realised my emo side in this post...I mainly like quotes that make me sad. Also, I cheated a little and used poetry too!

Quote is From: 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt
Why I Love This Quote: I love Donna Tartt and 'The Secret History' is one of my favourite books of all time. For me, this quote is memorable, dramatic, and resonates with me.9.
Quote is From: 'Wise Children' by Angela Carter
8.
Quote is From: 'Piazza Place' by John Crowe Ransom (Poem)
7.
Quote is From: 'Mad Girls's Love Song' by Sylvia Plath
Why I Love This Quote: OK I may have done it again...this is a whole poem rather than a quote! I just love it...it is so sad and just forces you to feel something when you read it.
6.
Quote is From: 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' by J.K Rowling
5.
Quote is From: 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' by T.S Eliot.
Why I Love This Quote: This is an extract from the long poem by T.S Eliot. I love this poem, in which a man is depicted who is awkward and unsure. I love the last stanza above especially.4.
Quote is From: 'The Circus Animals Desertion' by W.B Yeats
Why I Love This Quote: I love the imagery. I love the idea that poetry and literature is born of other people's scraps all jumbled together and the heart itself is a 'rag and bone shop'.
3.
Quote is From: 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak
*SPOILER ALERT*
Why I Love This Quote: I think there has been a theme in this post that suggests I love quotes that make me sad...and this is probably the one that I cried the most tears over. It is beautifully written and so gorgeous, just like the rest of the book.*SPOILER ALERT*
2.
Quote is From: 'Everything is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer
Why I Love This Quote: I love everything JSF has ever written...I think he writes in the most achingly beautiful, poetic style and I find his novels rich and sumptuous. This quote is from one of my favourite characters and I just...ahhh.1.
Quote is From: 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte:
Why I Love This Quote: It is timeless. Jane, so proper, so quiet, just needs love to bring out this passionate speech...which has me in tears every time. So lovely. Also, I love this delivery by Ruth Wilson and think she brings it to life perfectly:
Those are the top ten quotes that I can think of...I'm sure I've forgotten so many! Let me know if you love any of these or what your favourites are!
I totally forgot to put any Harry Potter quotes on my list - though there are plenty of awesome ones I could have picked!

Beautiful quotes! I love Angela Carter and both the quote you chose and your description of her are so spot-on. She's the perfect mix of grit and beauty.
