It's my pleasure to share the wonders of The Night Circus. I really love its descriptions; I'm a Surrealist and the imagery fills me with apt wonder. So dreamy and so phantasmagoric, it's pure fantasy that anyone can consume.

“I will fall like an ocean on that court! Fear nothing Elizabeth."

This quote was submitted by @Bulbasaur! Congrats on your first quote!

This is probably the second most well known quote from The Crucible besides Proctor's "Leave me my name" speech. Coincidentally this was also said by Proctor. It's important because it shows that Proctor recognizes he's done wrong by having his affair with Abigail and intends to prove his loyalty to his wife. He does not want her to worry for him when he goes to court, and he has begun to regain his own personal self worth. Proctor intends to show the court the madness of its witch trials and end it if he can, and in a way, he does succeed. But in addition, he also causes his wife to no longer worry about him, because she knows where he is going when he dies.

“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”

I'll be completely honest, I haven't got a clue what this truly means, but I have a theory that it has something to do with trial and error. As we do things over and over, I think it's a goal to learn more as we do it, so that if we don't perform it correctly that time, we might have a better chance the next time!

It's about risk taking and pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, and therefore enhancing your capabilities (i.e. wings to fly to greater heights). The idea of development while engaging in the task suggests swift learning and adaptability as well.

“The greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.”

Thanks to @solivagant for submitting this one!

Ah Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the movie that is actually a remake of another movie that was created to sell candy based on a book that barely anyone knows about. The book is great too so I'd totally recommend it. Anyway, I think this is a classic quote trying to point out that sometimes the best things of life aren't at face value. They won't be holding giant signs to direct you to them, rather, you have to go off on the beaten path to find them.

Today's Daily Literature Quote is...

“From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”

Finally we get to the first quote on the list, submitted by @Lunar Latias!

Ah Pride and Prejudice, tackling so many stereotypes at once it's just astounding. I actually did a report on this and I think my favorite part of the story is that it was rebelling against a Marriage Act at the time that pretty much said women and men could not marry outside of their class. Good stuff. Now, if I remember the context of this quote correctly, this is one of the times that Elizabeth scolds Mr. Darcy and she does well to point out his flaws, because Mr. Darcy is quite full of them.

Oh my god...this was the first quote I submitted way back when. XD I TOLD YOU THE RNG HATES ME.

"...and she does well to point out his flaws, because Mr. Darcy is quite full of them." AHAHAHA. I laughed so much at this. However it's true! Although, actually, so is Elizabeth. Their pride is certainly their downfall! However I love the book, cause I think it's great for a woman - during that time - to stand up for what she believes in.

I wasn't saying Elizabeth was without them, just that Darcy is full of them.

I wasn't saying Elizabeth was without them, just that Darcy is full of them.

I know that, my point was meant to be entirely separate from yours. xD

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS FOREVER!

I actually stumbled across this on Tumblr and fell in love with the concept. SO MUCH WRITING POTENTIAL! I really like how it's such an open ended story and yet, the two lines in it fit their characters so well. It examines the two beliefs of coincidence and fate, how they are different in so many ways, yet the same as well.
