[TTT] Zehn Lieblingszitate

Heute werde ich mich mal wieder am Top Ten Thursday von Alice im Bücherland beteiligen, denn das Thema ist genau meins. Wie ihr ja bei der Kinderbuchzitaterateparade schon gemerkt habt, bin ich ein großer Zitate Fan. Übrigens auch ein großer Ratefan, deshalb mache ich es so wie Favola und lasse euch mal wieder raten. Hier also einige meiner Lieblings-Buchzitate. Regelmäßigen Lesern mag das ein oder andere bekannt vorkommen.

Edit: Sorry für das Formatierungschaos, hab grad erst gesehen, dass es hier aussah wie Kraut und Rüben. Irgnedwas hat mir heftig den HTML Code zerschossen und ich habs immer noch nicht komplett so auf die Reihe bekommen wie es eigentlich aussehen soll. Aber wenigstens gibts jetzt Absätze...

1. "Still she did not blench: maiden of the Rohirrim, child of kings, slender but as a steel blade, fair yet terrible. A swift stroke she dealt, skilled and deadly."

2. "I stood still, vision blurring, and in that moment, I heard my heart break. It was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower's stem."

3. "And I pray one prayer –I repeat it till my tongue stiffens– ___ may you not rest as long as I am living! you said I killed you –haunt me, then! 
The murdered DO haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts HAVE wandered on earth.  Be with me always –take any form– drive me mad! Only DO not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!" 

4. "When I was going to try to stand that first time Mary kept saying to herself as fast as she could 'You can do it! You can do it!' and I did. I had to try myself at the same time of course, but her magic helped me" 

5. At dusk the hunter took his prey 

 The lark his freedom never 

 All birds and men are sure to die

But songs may live for ever.

6. "I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun."

7. "So we can´t do this? We really can´t?" It´s phrased as a question but I see by the stricken look on her face that she already knows the answer.

Shaking my head slowly, I swallow hard and turn to look out of the kitchen window to hide the tears in my eyes. The sky is on fire and the night has ended.

8. "He looks like anybody you see on the street.But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines. He´s always outside. He came out of time. He doesn´t know himself. He has the name of a thousand demons. Jesus knocked him into a herd of pigs once. His name is legion. He´s afraid of us. We´re inside. He knows magic. He can call the wolves and live in the crows. He´s the king of nowhere. But he´s afraid of us. He´s afraid of... nowhere"

9. Not my daughter, you bitch!" (!!!)
 

10. "Well, she was less than an hour old and Tom was God knows where. [...] They told me it was a girl and so I turned my head away and wept. 'All right,' I said, 'I´m glad it´s a girl. And I hope, she´ll be a fool - that´s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.'"
