Ten Great Things Book Characters Have Said

Our topic for this week is things characters have said (Maybe a character said something really profound or romantic or hilarious or heartbreaking. You could share witty one-liners, mic-drop moments, snippets of funny dialogue between multiple characters, catchphrases, quotes that have become a part of pop culture–like “May the odds be ever in your favor.”, etc.). I am choosing to go with great quotes from book characters 🙂 There are so many great ones but here are ten of my favorites.

1. “There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.” (Mr. Frodo) — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

5. “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” — L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

6. “I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.” (Elinor Dashwood) — Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

7. “Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.” — Alice Walker, The Color Purple

8. “All human wisdom is summed up in these two words – ‘Wait and hope.’” — Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
