Favorite Book or Movie Quotes – #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 19, 2020, favorite book or movie quotes (and why) !  Well now that’s interesting.  Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

Okay which one to  start with book quotes or movie quotes: Book Quotes:

 My friends and family are always asking me if I’m lost.  I’m not, just listening to the characters in my head play out the next chapter in my WIP.  LOL So naturally the quote, “Not all those who wander are lost.” 

The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkein

This poem was written about Aragorn, a humble human king who undertakes great journeys and explorations. It is used twice in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’, once by Gandalf in a letter to Frodo and later by Bilbo, and is an attempt to persuade Frodo of Aragorn’s importance to Middle Earth. It is also an exhortation to the reader to see beyond his own value systems.

  This is one of my mantras. Goes with you can be anything you want to be as long as you are willing to work hard to get it. (Yep my mom said that. But also said writing was not a way to making a living.)     “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”  

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling

Another book written for children but loved by adults. This is a comment made by Professor Albus Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge. Cornelius has expressed the opinion that ‘Muggles’ and ‘Mudbloods’ (humans and half-humans) are inferior to wizards and witches. Albus responds by asserting that it is not pedigree that matters but talent.

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My darling Eve.

Roark from JD Robb In Death Series.   Seems each time he says this either he is in trouble or she is and I have to laugh at the situation.

Movie Quotes:

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” – Gone With the Wind, 1939 – Now admit it everyone loves this!

“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” – The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Fun fact: As one of the most famous movie quotes in film history, this line has been parodied by many different movies and television shows.

“May the Force be with you.” – Star Wars, 1977 – I’m a huge Star Wars fan, so of course this is one of my favorites. LOL

“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” – Cool Hand Luke, 1967 – My hubby uses this all the time. When in fact, it’s really his failure to communicate. LOL

“I’ll be back.” – The Terminator, 1984 – I love this one.

“I feel the need – the need for speed!” – Top Gun, 1986 – Loved this movie and can’t wait for the new one in December 2020 (maybe)

Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.
