Q: Share your favorite literary quote!
Here’s one of my tops favs right now, as they tend to change:
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum
Also, basically the entire book The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. Yes, the entire books is one favorite quote 😀
What about you guys? Lemme know in the comments or link me to your #FF. And don’t forget to hop around and show some love to the bloggers xD

Great quote! It speaks a lot of truth. I haven’t read The Fault In Our Stars by John Green yet. I just added it to my TBR. Thanks for sharing.

I loved The Fault in Our Stars 🙂 You should try it out, the writing is just amazing.
And yep, a lot of wisdom in that quote. I try to apply that kind of thinking, I remind myself once day of this quote. One can try, at least 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Hopping through. I’ve never read Louise Erdrich. I’d really like to.

Love the quote you’ve chosen. Definitely agree with TFiOS though, it is a rather large beautiful quote!

The quote you chose is really true, but man it’s so hard to do that, to face that you must take risks in life and there will be times you’ll be hurt and hurt badly. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t read TFiOS yet, but I will remedy that very soon!
