Why is quoting people so fun?

There's just something about quoting a good book..
So, here's just a few random quotes that impacted me in some way:
"We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy..."
The Pursuit of God by: A.W. Tozer

"The universe, they say, is so vast, it makes man utterly insignificant. Why would God have bothered to create such a microscopic speck called the earth and humanity and then get involved with us? Beneath this question is a fundamental failure to see what the universe is about. It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man."
Don't Waste Your Life by: John Piper

"It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you."
-Helen Burns in Jane Eyre
"It's not what the world holds for us, but what we bring to the world."
Anne of Green Gables


"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
The Great Gatsby
by: F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Their very imagination was dead. When you say that of a man, he has struck bottom, I reckon; There is no lower deep for him."
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

by: Mark Twain
 "It is impossible to be in the presence of Jesus and not be changed."
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by: Joanna Weaver

"I wasn't called to a place, I was called to Him. To obey was my objective, to suffer was expected, His glory was my reward. His glory is my reward."
-Karen Watson (taken from Sister Freaks)
 "There is something worse than discomfort, worse than the unknown, worse than failure. The worst thing is to never try at all."
Do Hard Things by: Alex and Brett Harris

:]. You know those books? I recommend you read them all.
