This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic:
Swooniest Book Quotes
When it comes to my reading, romance is the name of the game, so it's no wonder that I'm a sucker for a swoony quote. The ones that stop you in your tracks and have you feeling allllll the feels. Here are some of my favorites.
All I could think was, where have you been all this time?
I'd missed her before I'd even known her.
"I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait until
you realize that this isn’t about a bet or anything other than us belonging
together. I want us and you and everything that comes with that. I want to kiss
you good night, wake up with you beside me, and love you the way you deserve.
So, I’ll wait for your heart to be ready because mine is ready enough for the
both of us."
He’s looking at me like I’m the sunrise and he’s grateful for a brand new day.
Love isn’t about wanting a hero, it’s about wanting to be one for the other person.
Having Roderick in my life is like having a fire in the hearth.
He warms me even when I can’t see him.
“I'm conscious this could be rather burdensome to hear, but you remain the thing I have most chosen for myself. The thing that's most exclusively mine. The one thing that brings me the deepest joy.”
“That’s what marriage is. It’s shelter. It’s sustenance. It’s warmth.
It’s finding rest in each other. It’s telling someone, You matter most.”
“I’m confident that I’ll never spend a single second of my life regretting you.”
“Mock me all you like. Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips. By you, I am forever undone.”
“And when the years have passed,
and we have watched a thousand sunsets,
and we are bent,
our bodies crooked with age
ask me again.
In the twilight,
in the shadow of the life we have shared,
ask me if I love you,
and my heart will answer before my lips can part.
My love, my life,
my heart never left your hands.
Always, evermore, even after.
Still.”
Have you read any of these books?
You're killing me with some of these book quotes. I haven't read half of these books but now I'm screaming at myself why not. I mean that quote from Roommate? And Make It Sweet? I don't think book quotes have made me want to buy books so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! *waves wildly* Good to hear from you!
DeleteA good quote can really influence me to pick up a book. I've read friend's reviews when a specific quote has me convinced that I must read the book. :)
Oh, I really like that quote about marriage - so true!
ReplyDeleteThat one really stuck with me.
DeleteAww, they're all lovely quotes.

Same here, Aymee! I listened to that one on audio and it was just perfection.
DeleteAll of these are great quotes, but that Still quote...Sigh. I just love it. All of that series is so quotable. Great picks today.
ReplyDeleteThat quote from Still... gah! I actually have the whole poem framed in my library. It was an option in a box that Kennedy Ryan offered last year and I was all over it.
DeleteI am such a sap. I have tears in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you, my friend! :)
