 5. "They’ve been lying from the start. From the first time we read the words ‘once upon a time,’ we’re fed the idea that these girls—these gorgeous, demure, singing-with-the-wildlife girls—get a happy ending. And I get it. Poor thing had to do some chores around the house, fine. But the idea that she needs a magic old lady to come down and skim off the dirt so the prince will see her beauty? That’s ridiculous. Maybe she should have been working on her lockpicking skills instead of serenading squirrels. She could have busted out, hitched a ride to the castle, and impressed the prince with her safe-cracking prowess. Sorry, magic-fairy lady. She didn’t need your help.” - Kelsey Macke, Damsel Distressed

    I really like that excerpt from Damsel Distressed. I had similar thoughts while watching that Cinderella movie with Drew Barrymore.

    I was going to use #4 in my (non-existent) list! I really love these. Turns out I didn't read all that many deep quotes this year so I gave up ;) But I love the ones you chose, and the graphics!

      Bahaha. I had forgotten some of the quotes I loved, but that's why I love Goodreads quote feature. I was able to look up some of my favorite books and see popular quotes in them. :)

      Thanks Grace! I hope you love Sea of Tranquility. I can't wait to hear what you think of the audio version. I don't normally like audio books, but I bet this story would lend itself really well to the audio.

      Thanks Heather! I read Sea of Tranquility for the second time this year and it was just as good as the first time. It is one of my favorite books.

    Oh I love your picks! The quotes from The Sea of Tranquility are gorgeous. Easily one of my all-time favorite books. Two Boys Kissing is up there, too. I think I highlighted roughly half the book when I read that one. And I LOVED Damsel Distressed. Great passage you picked to highlight.

      Thanks Kim! Sea of Tranquility is one of my favorite books also. I read it for the second time this year and it was just as amazing as the first time. And Two Boys Kissing probably had a hundred quotable quotes. I could probably have listed ten quotes from that book alone.

      I know, right?? When I first read that book, that quote struck a real chord with me. It is sad that it is so accurate.

      Thanks Lyn! It's actually an app I have called InstaQuote. That is what I use for all my quotes. They have all kinds of backgrounds and stuff. It's awesome!
