Love this New Moon Quotes


As I was returning my books in the library I see in the front bookshelf what is turning out to be a Best Seller in books and also in the movies ... yup! talking about the Twilight Saga Collection. Before the movie is shown might as well check this book out and find out what is really fascinating. Maybe I can compare the story ... since I never had the chance to read Twilight , I just watched it on DVD. I won't really miss it this time on the moviehouse. I'm hooked! Really hooked.




Love to share some New Moon quotes that i like with some cheesy parts.

Where you are is the right place for me.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 3, p.69

I saw no reason for fear. I couldn’t imagine anything in the world that there was left to be afraid of, not physically at least. One of the few advantages of losing everything.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.110

Sometimes, kismet happens.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 5, p.126

Sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell.
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 12, p.283

Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 13, p.304

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.514

My heart hasn’t beat in almost ninety years, but this was different. It was like my heart was gone—like I was hollow. Like I’d left everything that was inside me here with you.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.515

I thought I’d explained it clearly before. Bella, I can’t live in a world where you don’t exist.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.509

The Alchemist: In search of your personal legend?

An allegorical novel by Paulo Coelho. A simple, quick read book that turned to be a modern classic. The story is about a shepherd boy who goes into quest for a treasure, his "Personal Legend" and the wonderful journey and experiences he met along the way. The best part of the story that I liked most is about the twist in the ending, I found it funny and didn't see it coming that way.

My favorite quotes on the book:
* “When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
* “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
* "It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
* "When each day is the same as the next it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives everyday the sun rises."
* "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."
* "I'm like everyone else - I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does."

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

I'm browsing through the library and I remembered this book from the last installment of Harry Potter Series ( Deathly Hallows ) I have just recently read, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, this book was mentioned on the story of "The Tale of the 3 Brothers" , so grabbed it for the curiosity.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a book of children's stories by British author J. K. Rowling. It purports to be the storybook of the same name mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last book of the Harry Potter series.

It had 5 short stories, what I liked is "The Fountain of Fair Fortune". Three witches in search for the benefits of the magical fountain. I'm still the fairy tale type with a knack of reality ... and I believe that magic still exists in each one of our own talents. (*** I liked it)

The Choice by Nicholas Sparks

Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him...and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn't help. Despite himself, Travis can't stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a journey that neither could have foreseen.

Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heartwrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?

#1 New York Times bestseller Nicholas Sparks turns his unrivaled talents to a new tale about love found and lost, and the choices we hope we'll never have to make.

Brida: Do you believe in soulmates?

A story of a young Irish girl, has long been interested in various aspects of magic but is searching for something more. As Brida seeks her destiny, she struggles to find a balance between her relationships and her desire to become a witch.

“I liked it, its a light read. The pacing is not that fast. As the author Paulo Coelho dwells more on life's stories and self discoveries. You will still find this an interesting read and learn something from the story as the characters are torn into decisions on goal-setting, destiny, love, responsibility.” *** ( 3stars "I like it" ) My shelfari permalink review.

My favorite quotes from the book:
  • "Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day" - Brida's father
  • "What is now proved was once only imagined"- William Blake
  • ‘But how will I know who my Soul mate is?’ ‘By taking risks,’ Wicca said to Brida. ‘By risking failure, disappointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in your search for Love. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end.’

Christ the Lord Out of Egypt , A Novel by Anne Rice

I've been reading this novel almost half finished but I think , still haven't arrived from the exciting part if there is still anything to be revealed. Maybe I expect more from it. Last novel I finished from Anne Rice that I really got hooked up to is way back from "Interview with a Vampire" ... also watched it on film.

From the book back cover:
Selected by Beliefnet.com as the Best Spiritual Book of the Year

Here's an excerpt to the book and also some reviews:
