uberreinigerDay 24 - Best quote from a novel
Best quote from a novel? It's like picking a favorite blade of grass! But here's two good ones:
"That's the problem with people who always mean what they say: they always think everyone else does too."
-Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
I really identified with this line, a lot. Because I do tend to mean what I say and get hurt a lot when others' commitment to what they say is more fluid than my own.
For something completely different:
"My lord makes love like he is hunting boar: it is a heroic act, but not one that is pleasurable for women."
-Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Dart
SPECIAL BONUS QUOTE:
"A man is walking a tightrope between two skyscrapers. Somewhere on the other side of the world a young man is getting a blowjob from an 80 year-old woman. Both of them are having the exact same thought: 'Don't look down!'"
-Mark Z. Danieliewski, House of Leaves
