Daily Literature Quotes

I agree with this quote. In everything that I do, I do it because I want to, and not because someone else told me to. I remember in high school when we finally got to choose our electives. Everyone wanted to know what subject their friends were doing so they could do it too. But when one of my friends came and asked me what I had selected (and I showed them, mostly art-based stuff :p) they wondered why I hadn't chosen the same subjects as most of them. I told her I wasn't going to choose a subject based on their choices; I wanted to do what I wanted to do, and I wasn't going to sacrifice that, or my future, for anyone. I think I left her a bit stunned. XD

I'm probably one of the few who hasn't read the full poem, so I can't go in depth like Fate did. So I'm taking this purely at face value, and my own interpretation.

As for conforming or not, my opinion is that everyone should do what they want. If that means they follow the majority, fine. I've got nothing against that. What matters is what's important to the individual themselves.

Agree with Fate. Reminds me of the new wave of "hipsters" running around today, with such a superficial and shallow culture of non-conformity for people who just want to tout their (crappy) trumpets and be some ~special snowflake~ that's wallpapered on the cesspool named Tumblr. Nowadays the definition of individuality has been reshaped by society that it's just not something I approve of anymore. Tryhards, the whole lot of 'em.

Just an FYI to everyone, I am on week three of Hell Month and it has really started to kick me hard. I might be able to resume this next week but worse case it'll be after Hell Month before I can pick this back up again. In the mean time, y'all should pick out some good quotes and send them to me, that way we can have a huge list for when I come back!

“Anyway… who are you? WHAT are you? Why are you here? And how does it feel to have been bested by a pair of ‘brats’?”

And in case you're like "what growlithe twins?" They're the ones in Pokemon Rising Shadows by @Nekomata. And no I did not ask permission to use this quote but I figure she won't mind the free publicity. XD

Anyway, with Hell Month officially finished, I will be doing my best to continue this thread without hinderance, at least until summer since there are several occasions during the summer where I will be out of town and it may be difficult for me to post. Nevertheless, we're back!

The growlithe twins are my favorite characters from PRS, so of course the only comic related quote on the list had to be from them! And in case you are wondering which page this is from, the link to it is here.

The twins don't mind you using their quotes. xD (Neither do I!)

They're precious little monsters who love to terrorize others. They shouldn't be underestimated though. =P They pack a punch when they're serious. They also like to rub it in when someone loses to a pair of cute adorable 'harmless' brats. xD

“A real book is not one that's read, but one that reads us.”

This is a very interesting quote and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. I think maybe it's trying to say a true book is not one that you just go through but rather are in engaged in and want to know what happens at every turn. It engages the audience rather than just pretends they aren't there.

But what do you all think?

“You can fix anything but a blank page.”

This is a quote about writer's block and I definitely can see the significance. When writing a story, you have to get started before you can change and improve the story. You can fix spelling errors and plot holes, but there is no fixing something that doesn't exist. So unless you start writing, you can't fix anything.

“Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.”

For many people, writing is their voice, their outlet, their way of life. Whenever inspiration strikes, we become excited to create an adventure of grand proportions for others to see. It's exciting. It's also meant to show others, hey we have an opinion, a say, in all of this too, and here's what it is. We use it to institute change or just for fun. Either way, it has a larger impact than we will ever know and that's exciting too.

“Celia." he says without looking up at her, "why do we wind our watch?"
"Because everything requires energy," she recites obediently, eyes still focused on her hand. "We must put effort and energy into anything we wish to change.”

Thank you to, @solivagant for today's quote!

Okay I literally in reading this quote am having a huge like deja vu moment. I know I've read this before but I cannot place it. Either way, I really like the message nonetheless. For those of you who don't have a wind up clock (I actually do as a gift from my grandmother), the way the clock runs is there is a key in the back. You wind it up similar to how old fashion timers did and that would keep the clock running for so long. However, eventually you'll have to wind the clock back up again since it can't run forever. The same thing applies to old fashion watches, one of which I also own (because I like clocks and stuff). So the thought that winding a watch or clock is the power to change, it's appropriate since the clock's time won't change until you put in the energy to help it change.

Today's Daily Literature Quote is…

“Love is a conquest. Love is a war. Here is what I think of love.”

Unofficially submitted by @Winter!

I love this quote to be completely honest. Though out of the context of the story you might take it to have a completely different meaning from it. The way Queen Levana's character is made, to her, love equates to betrayal. The man she loved ended up breaking her heart (though she brought it upon herself) so she obviously thinks very little of love. It's messed up and I do believe Winter could give a much better description than I of the significance of this quote.
