What the characters said.

Hi friends,

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Today’s theme is:what the character said.

I love quotes and I was very excited to write this post!

It will be a mix of funny, tender and powerful quotes. And above all else I realized that I love powerful heroines, be them single mothers or real vampire warrior! Enjoy!

The funny ones

“An anti-hero was just a villain with good PR”

Why are you looking at me like that?” he inquired. “You used a demonic incantation to pack my stockings!” He raised an eyebrow. “You’re right, that doesn’t sound like something a proper evil sorcerer would do. Next time, I won’t fold them.”

The emotional ones

“It’s been. My honor.”

“You’ll do what the rest of us do,” he finally says. “And just make it work today.”

The powerful women

‘“I am Celene Castia. Sssword of the Faithful. Liathe of dread Wulfric.” ‘Dead eyes gleaming, Celene raised her blade toward the Untamed. ‘“And I am deliverance. For you and all our accursssed kind.”’

“I became a skater because I wanted to feel like that. Fierce. Confident. A warrior goddess covered in glitter. So sure of myself, I could make my dreams come true through sheer force of will.”

“Never again.
Never again would she be weak.
Never again would she be at someone’s mercy.
Never again would she fail.
Never again, never again, never again.”

Band of sisters

“Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women.”

“The unfortunate status quo is that it is tough for women everywhere, and female friendships are what will carry us through the darkness and absurdity of life. Such connections, however, are not always easily forged in a world keen to divide, mark, and label as “other.”

The political one

“Live as long as I have and you’ll realize that whether the organization you put your faith in brandishes a Bible or copy of Das Kapital, the haves in that organization are rarely interested in sharing with the have nots”

My favorites and… a very important reminder to tyrants who want to brainwash and control people

You get two for the price of one…

“What matters is never letting people tell you what to think. Don’t let them convince you that one way is right and another way wrong. Gather as much knowledge as you can, because information is power. And choosing how to use it is freedom. The more you know, the freer you will be.”

“How do you improve yourself without challenging your mind? How do you leave a better world for your children? Delvin wondered. Then he remembered that was the point. People like Lula didn’t want change. They were perfectly happy with the way things were.”

Thanks for reading.
