In Other Words
My personal favorite meme is back this week at Reading Lark - In Other Words! Each Sunday we bring you a collection of literary quotes selected by our blog team centered around a different theme or topic.
Please share YOUR favorite quote about this week's theme in our comments section! I’d also like to give a huge thank you to Julie, who let me have a go at it. =)
Julie:
"Our own heart, and not other men's opinions, forms our true honor."
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Andrea:
"Life is like college; may I graduate and earn some honors."
— Louisa May Alcott
"...sometimes compassion is the greater part of honor."
— Rachel Vincent (Shift (Shifters, #5))
Michelle:
”Every noble house had its words. Family mottos, touchstones, prayers of sorts, they boasted of honor and glory, promised loyalty and truth, swore faith and courage. All but the Starks - Winter is coming ”
—George R. R. Martin (A Game of Thrones)
"Then must you strive to be worthy of her love. Be brave and pure, fearless to the strong and humble to the weak; and so, whether this love prosper or no, you will have fitted yourself to be honored by a maiden's love, which is, in sooth, the highest guerdon which a true knight can hope for."
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (The White Company)
Tevya:
"No stronger allies, no greater friends, no better fighters of honor could a king behold than these assembled afore me, mine brothers, mine blood." ~ Lover Avenged
"You are the male I might have been. You are the potential I had and lost. You are the honor and strength and the kindness she needs." ~Lover Awakened
GAH, that Lover Awakened quote gets me every time. That is my go to book. Whenver I'm having a hard time and need a book that I know fills something in me, It's LA.
