Read-a-Thon #4 - Match the Quote

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Happy New Year, everyone!! It's already the last day of our read-a-thon which is a bit sad but that sadness is almost completely erased by the excitement of a new year. And you know that the means... we're kicking off a brand new ATY challenge.

So this is our last game for the final read-a-thon of 2018 but stick around and be sure to participate in all the fun that comes with a new challenge year.

Without further ado, match the quote to the book.

1. “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

2. "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."

3. “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

4. “It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.”

5. “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”

6. “It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.”

7. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

8. “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”

9. “Get busy living or get busy dying.”

10. "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

11. "Great men are not born great. They grow great."

12. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

1. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (guessing)
2. Les Mis (guessing)
3. Definitely Alice in Wonderland
4. Gone Girl (guessing, but this line sounds familiar at least)
5. The Fault in Our Stars
6. To Kill a Mockingbird
7. Oh, The Places You'll Go!
8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
9. The Godfather (guessing)
10. The Fellowship of the Ring

I really didn't recognize any of the quotes, but reading them carefully I could match a couple, just because they sounded like something that author could say (King) or something that could fit in that book. Anyway, I guessed four. If this were an examen, I failed :P
