I Read YA: Quotes

Today's topic is #IQuoteYA

I actually used to keep a notebook of quotes that I loved in books I read. But I haven't kept up with that in years. 

But back in 2011, I wrote up a list of my favorite 10 quotes from the notebook. Check them out

This is one of my favorites:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: "She seemed to be taking the library's lack of useful information on the subject as a personal insult; it had never failed her before."

Spotted: Tera Lynn Childs talking about Banned Books

Check out her posts for the week on the 10 most challenged Classic books, recent books banned, how you can help stop the banning of books, and the right to read.

Here's her post a piece of her post at Books, Boys, and Buzz:

"My mom, a fairly politically vocal person and one with extremely strong beliefs, always says:

I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I think that sums up the essence of Banned Books Week pretty well. It's not about what the books say or why they say them or who the authors are, it's about the right to say and write and read whatever we want. It's about the choice."

How awesome is that? I LOVE that quote. And it sums up the essence perfectly.
