Guess The Book Quote
Post a book...

Post a book quote, and see if other CBers can guess it! I'll start:

“It's not natural for women to fight."

"It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand.”

Here's one no one will know:

"May clapped her hand over her mouth to keep in her scream." 

Elena says xork.  Ya know, I was just as surprised as you are when I read that part.

That wouldn't happen to be from one of my favorite books of all time, The Secret Life of Bees, would it????

"You could rattle the stars. You could do anything, if only you dared."

And then one more:

"Do not pity the dead, *****. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love." 

The *s are covering up a name that would make you know what book it's from.

You'll never guess *looks around, satsified*

*suddenly starts worrying and runs around the room in record time*

*slows down and calms herself*

The first one is from Throne of Glass, it's said to Celaena Sardothien, I think Nehima says it, but not totally sure

The second one is from Harry Potter, and Dumbledore says it to Harry

I'm leaving the names in since I don't know how many of y'all have read this book:

“The Colonel led all the cheers.
Cornbread!" he screamed.
CHICKEN!" the crowd responded.
Rice!"
PEAS!"
And then, all together: "WE GOT HIGHER SATs."
Hip Hip Hip Hooray!" the Colonel cried.

YOU'LL BE WORKIN' FOR US SOMEDAY!”
