Ten Bookish Quotes

September 29, 2020

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another TTT! This meme is hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl and this week's theme explores “Favorite Book Quotes”. Like Jana, I post a lot of quotes on my blog already, especially in my reviews, so I thought I'd focus more on the bookish quotes that are hanging up on my walls.

“Reader's Bill of Rights

1. The right to not read

2. The right to skip pages

3. The right to not finish

4. The right to reread

5. The right to read anything

6. The right to escapism

7. The right to read anywhere

8. The right to browse

9. The right to read out loud

  10. I've come across the Maya Angelou and MLK quotes before and love them as well. The Haile Selassi quote makes me think of one by Jennifer Donnelly from Revolution: “One expects decent people to stand up for the good of all. Decent people shut their doors and hide behind them as decent people do. Massacres could never happen if it weren't for decent people.”
