We like big books and we cannot lie

Some of the very first conversations we had together were about books. We love them. Sometimes we'll choose a book to read aloud to each other; we've had one or two dates where we go to the library and read our favorite children's books to each other. Speaking of favorites...

Owlet's favorite quotes from books:

“Everyone has something he checks out. Dad’s interested in cars. Mom notices babies. Ever since Kyle got a Rolex watch from his rich grandfather last year, he’s always looking at people’s wrists. Patrick knows every brand and style of sneaker. The way he walks around gazing at feet, he’s going to end up with a bent neck.
As for me, if I see anyone carrying a book, I try to spot the title and author. It’s always nice when someone’s reading something you like.” Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie

 “…as far as I am concerned, there is no need to employ any more words in describing her beauty, worth and understanding, for knowledge of her reading alone is enough to make me confirm her as the most beautiful and intelligent woman in the world.” Don Quixote

“…remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword. As a mortal, I was never a great fighter or athlete or poet…The people in my village laughed at me. They said I would never amount to anything. Look at me now. Sometimes small things can become very large indeed.” The Battle of the Labyrinth

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves.” Ender's Game

"‘Winning isn’t the only reason to do something,’ Milo pointed out.
‘But it makes no sense to try to do something impossible,’ she retorted.
‘It’s too bad you feel that way. You’ve really missed out.’ ”  Freshman for President

“You must never give up, even if you’re falling off a cliff. You never know what might happen on the way down.” The Islands of the Blessed

“Don’t be gettin’ into any of them foolish ways boys has of gettin’ too big to mind their mothers. Tell ye what, Mas’r George, the Lord gives good many things twice over; but he don’t give ye a mother but once. Ye’ll never see sich another woman, Mas’r George, if ye live to be a hundred years old.” Uncle Tom's Cabin
