Quote Challenge: Day 1

I was nominated for the quote challenge by Sarah @ Sarah’s Bookshelf. Thanks! :D

This challenge requires the nominees to follow three steps:

Post your 3 favourite quotes, one each for three consecutive days.
With each post nominate three bloggers for the challenge.
Recognise the blogger who nominated you.

For Day 1 I want to share a passage from A Christmas Carol, one of my all-time favorite books.

“Old Marley was as dead as a doornail.

Mind! I don’t mean to say that, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.”

I nominate:

Adriana Gabrielle
Brett Michael Orr
Heather @ Sometimes I’m A Story
