May 17 Favorite Book Quote

My favorite story of all times is The Princess Bride. I didn't read the whole book, only a few chapters online and it's quite similar to the movie itself. I have three favorite quotes from Mr. William Goldman.

1. "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." —Man In Black

2. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" —The Spaniard

3. 15. "Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches." —Westley

But I also have a few more.

1. "Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind." —Don Quijote

2. "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."
— J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

The Bible is a book of wisdom (and great stories too).

1.  4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. — 1Corinthians 13:4-8

2. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. —Hebrews 11:1

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite books as well. Sometimes nonsense makes more sense than real life.

2. "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

3. "Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle."
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
