Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This weeks theme is Top Ten Inspiring quotes from books.
I think there is something extra special about quotes from books and here are some of my faves {in no particular order}.
1."I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was." --Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

~ I just finished this book and this quote really stood out to me. This was kind of an eye opener for me because we all usually think that our lives are boring and ordinary, but when I read this I came to realize that we are all extraordinary because there's something different about everyone.
2. "There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities...I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity...You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful." -- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
