Inspired by Lost Generation Reader's Top Ten's for today,
I'm  posting my own in response .

~ *~
Today's Top Ten Tuesday meme at The Broke and the Bookish ~
Top Ten Inspiring Quotes from Books
- anything that inspires you, challenges you, makes you think, encourages you, etc.
and as the hosts say, "As always, even if you can't think of 10, do as many as you can!"


Beginning my Top Ten 12 with Canadian author, LM Montgomery's,
 Anne of Green Gables ~


*
Always inspiriting to begin again with a clean slate!

*
The ache for home lives in all of us. 
The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned."

Maya Angelou 
All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes 

The safe place where we're accepted as we are not as expected to be!
*


No man is an island.  We need one another!
*

From Zephaniah in the Book of Prophets of The Tanakh

The calmness of knowing unconditional Love, acceptance, delight!

*


You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. . . I have loved none but you. . . For you alone, I think and plan . . . I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.

I must go, uncertain of my fate . . .  A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.” 


Captain Frederick Wentworth to Anne Elliot ~ Jane Austen's Persuasion

Such inspiring and hopefilled confession of enduring love!
*

Sophia Croft~ Jane Austen's Persuasion

Yes to being a woman of adventure !
*


Ahhh!  the constancy of friendship found both in God and books ! 
*
and my own fav that's consistently re-pinned
~

Heaven is all around us and God evidenced in every point of creation.
Those whose eyes are truly open are aware and acknowledge the holiness,
the holy ground they walk upon,
by taking off their shoes

*

I could  post ten by CS Lewis alone plus more !
Here are a couple top picks...


Love this inspiriting as I age - 
not just the youth have proprietary rights to dreaming!

*


My sentiments following the loss of my mom...

*


Such a challenging reminder!

*

 Another of LM Montgomery's ~ 

"Some people go through life trying to find out what the world holds for them
only to find out too late that
it's what they bring to the world that really counts." 
~
Living giving vs taking...

*


From the Historical Book of Esther in The Tanakh

This always speaks encouragement to me throughout
the many challenges and uncomfortable places I find myself
in life and in advocating justice.
Powerful!

The Wentworth quote... I die. I just love Persuasion so much. I don't know how I left something out from that one. Great list! :)

Such abundance of wise, encouraging words, presented so beautifully. I'll definitely bookmark for revisiting! Thanks for this gift from your reading and kind spirit!

I love every one of these quotes. I am in the minority but Persuasion is my favorite Austen novel and happy to see this quote. Magnificent roundup. Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday Linkup. Pinning to our linkup board and hope you join us again this weekend.

The quote by Jean Vanier is hitting home right now. I have really lost touch with whom my strength comes from. Thanks for the wonderful reminder and for linking up with Literacy Musing Mondays. See you again this week?
