do you have any favorite book quotes? doesn't have to be whumpy :)

Oooo good question. Okay I'm going to share some of my favorite quotes from my favorite books and I feel like these quotes will explain why these are my favorite books as well so enjoy that lol. Also this made me realize that I really need to write down my favorite things about the books I read. Instead I tend to plow through the books feeling many things quickly and then when it ends I sit in those feelings for a long time and then read another book. I need to do some rereading and write down my favorite parts. Annotating! That's what it's call. I need to do that.

Anyways some of my favorite quotes!

“Human beings have a remarkable ability to accept the abnormal and make it normal.” - Project Hail Mary

“I’m a scientist! Now we’re getting somewhere! Time for me to use science. All right, genius brain: come up with something! …I’m hungry. You have failed me, brain.” - Project Hail Mary

“Besides, if I had a nickel for every time I wanted to smack a kid’s parents for not teaching them even the most basic things…well…I’d have enough nickels to put in a sock and smack those parents with it.” - Project Hail Mary

“Humans spent thousands of years looking up at the stars and wondering what was out there. You guys never saw stars at all but you still worked space travel. What an amazing people you Eridians must be. Scientific geniuses.'" - Project Hail Mary

“All you can do, Rosemary – all any of us can do – is work to be something positive instead. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life. The universe is what we make of it. It’s up to you to decide what part you will play.” - The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

“Such a quintessentially Human thing, to express sorrow through apology.”- Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

“From the ground, we stand; From our ships, we live; By the stars, we hope. - Exodan proverb” - The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

“There are few things as unsettling as a lack of control in an unfamiliar situation.” - The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

“Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone, I give ye my Body, that we Two might be One. I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done.” - Outlander

“I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have.” - Outlander

“Not for the first time, I reflected that intimacy and romance are not synonymous.” - Outlander

"You simply collapsed, sir. In layman’s terms your body revoked its permission for you to continue heaping abuse upon it." - The Lies of Locke Lamora

“Books have to be heavy because the whole world's inside them.” - Inkheart

“There was another reason she took her books whenever they went away. They were her home when she was somewhere strange. They were familiar voices, friends that never quarreled with her, clever, powerful friends -- daring and knowledgeable, tried and tested adventurers who had traveled far and wide. Her books cheered her up when she was sad and kept her from being bored.” - Inkheart

"The funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective" - Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

"Having a social at a quiz bowl tournament is like having an all-you-can-eat ribs and inviting a bunch of vegetarians over" - Geektastic

"In fact, the opportunity to be wrathful was one of my favorite things about being a section leader. It's not exactly encourage in many places, you know." - Band Geek Love

"I remembered the first time we lock-stepped down the field next to each other as freshmen, feeling for the first time the power of being surrounded by a hundred other people all moving the exact same way in the exact same direction. And how when the drum major called “at ease,” we put down our trumpets, turned and looked at one another with startled eyes, and raced each other back up the field to do it again." - Band Geek Love

“Yes, of course duct tape works in a near-vacuum. Duct tape works anywhere. Duct tape is magic and should be worshiped.” - The Martian

“If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.” - The Martian

“Maybe I’ll post a consumer review. “Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10.” - The Martian

"Sometimes people do things to you that you can't do anything about. You just have to survive it and go on.” - Artificial Condition

“Fear was an artificial condition. It's imposed from the outside. So it's possible to fight it. You should do the things you're afraid of.” - Artificial Condition

"Learn to love yourself?” What does that mean? How are we supposed to find something good about ourselves? The whole reason we hate ourselves… is because we can only see the parts we hate. So forcing ourselves to find “good points” feels hollow, like we’re making things up. It’s not like that. That’s not how it works. I think that it’s only when someone says they love you that you’re able to start loving yourself. I think when someone accepts you, that’s when you start feeling like you can forgive yourself a little and start to love yourself." - Fruits Basket

"You are alive because you haven't given up hope yet. It's because you know that not everyone in this world has rejected you. Even if you don't have a glimmer of hope now, it will surely come again. However much you resist or trample it, however many times you are thrown into despair, hope will come just as many times, repeatedly, again and again. It will bloom." - Fruits Basket

“He raged and questioned and mourned. Eventually he found peace—not peace like some still pond, but peace like a river, jostling over rocks, hurtling over falls, whirling in eddies. Authentic, rugged peace.” - A Distant Melody

“So this was friendship—the pain of ripping open one’s heart rewarded with intimacy and understanding.” - With Every Letter

recently entertained the idea of trying to write middle grade fiction. not like YA slop dragon tamer romance bullshit, like stories about young people that have a good balance between wish fulfillment and humor and Big Feelings. I don't think i will actually do it but i dug up a short story anthology called Geektastic that i bought at a scholastic fair in 7th grade and it did remind me of how those books made writing feel like a real career path/means of escape for me

Have you ever made any Predator Birthday or Christmas cards? I have several people on my list that would love that. Your artwork is classy. Sometimes these kinds of products don't have the quality appearance that your art provides. I know my son it going to be blown away by what I bought. More X-files please and Predator. Thank you... Happy Holidays Diana

Hi Diane, Been a while, but YES, Predator XMAS cards now available :)
