Friday Quotes

This week I finished The Bookman and started on The Graveyard Book and I'm still in the middle of listening to Leviathan, by Scott Westerfeld. Here are a few of the memorable quotes that I came across, in this week's reads:

****************************************************************************
The Bookman (Lavie Tidhar)

• This is the time of myths. They are woven into the present like silk strands from the past, like a mesh wire from the future, creating an interlacing pattern, a grand design, a repeating motif. Don't dismiss myth, boy.



• "In the real world heroes don't always live to the end. And sometimes, Orphan, no one gets the girl."

The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaimen)

• “You’re alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you’re dead, it’s gone. Over. You’ve made what you’ve made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished.”



• Face your life
  Its pain, its pleasure,
  Leave no path untaken



• "If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained."
