What is your top ten favorite books, and more importantly your favorite QUOTE from those books :)
Mine:
1: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets - 'Sword?' said Lockhart dimly. 'Haven't got a sword. That boy has, though.' He pointed at Harry. 'He'll lend you one.'
2: Brave New World - 'There was a thing called Heaven; but all the same they used to drink enormous quantities of alcohol.'
3: LOTR; The Fellowship of The Ring - 'Not all those who wander are lost;'
4: The Castaway King Chronicles; After The Dark - 'I want to feed on nothing less than a fear that would drive you mad a thousand times over...'
5: Oryx and Crake - 'Why is it he feels some line has been crossed, some boundary transgressed? How much is too much, how far is too far?'
6: 1984 - 'It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.'
7: Enders Game - 'Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too.'
8: The Circle - 'You sit at a desk twelve hours a day and you have nothing to show for it except some numbers that won't exist or be remembered in a week. '
9: The Name of The Wind - 'Do not mistake me for my mask. You see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, cold dark beneath.'
10: Interview With The Vampire - 'Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.'

Tough.
1. Court of Mist and Fury--“The Court of Dreams. The people who knew that there was a price, and one worth paying, for that dream. The bastard- born warriors, the Illyrian half breed, the monster trapped in a beautiful body, the dreamer born into a court of nightmares...And the huntress with an artist's soul.”
2. Watership Down--"'And Frith called after him, "El-ahrairah, your people cannot rule the world for I will not have it so. All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed."'"
3. Gemina--"Just a simple boy."
4. Illuminae--“Perhaps bravery is simply the face humanity wraps around its collective madness.”
5. Rhapsody--“Second, and far more important: tuck your chin. You're going to get hurt, so expect it and be ready. You may as well see it coming.”
6. The Stand--“The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there...and still on your feet.”
7. Malice-- "Unfortunate. I rather LIKED the boy. But all things must come to an end."
8. Silver-- "'We might never know what it was, though. We might never find out. People drive themselves crazy looking for WHY and WHAT HAPPENED and all of that, but in the end it doesn't make any difference. You still have to deal with it, one way or another.'"
9. A Dog's Purpose--“The job of a good dog was ultimately to be with them, remaining by their sides no matter what course their lives might take. All I could do now was offer him comfort, the assurance that as he left this life he was not alone but rather was tended by the dog who loved him more than anything in the whole world.”
10. Six of Crows--“Kaz leaned back. "What's the easiest way to steal a man's wallet?"
"Knife to the throat?" asked Inej.
"Gun to the back?" said Jesper.
"Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina.
"You're all horrible," said Matthias.”
