Quote Me Thursday #2

I enjoyed doing this post a lot last week, so I thought I'd do it again!

I'm taking part in the weekly meme, hosted by Daily Mayo. This meme is all about sharing a favourite quote, passage from a book or any other quote related post. 

This week, the quote I chose was from The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald, and it goes like this:



There are so many reasons why I love this quote- one being that it is just written so beautifully and if I had to describe Summer in one sentence, it would be this quote. It sums up everything that is great about Summer time and why we look forward to it. I feel like I can relate to this a lot because I'm so excited for the summer, and doing things that you can't do otherwise, like going out all day and meeting new people and having a really great time. I think that there's a lot of truth in this quote too, because life pretty much does start again with Summer- there's a new sense of optimism that is given to us when the sun comes out and opportunities that we don't usually get. Personally, I am so happy when the weather is nice, and there's so much more to do and with this comes a lot of happiness, which I think Fitzgerald shows so well in this quote.

The Great Gatsby is a great book with so many brilliant lines in its limited number of pages. I want to re-read it soon and watch the film too!

P.S. I was going to write my Monthly Roundup, but lost my notebook with my lists of books in- it should be up tomorrow though!

Quote Me Thursday

This week, I'm taking part in the weekly meme, hosted by Daily Mayo. This meme is all about sharing a favourite quote, passage from a book or any other quote related post. 

I am such a lover of quotes! I think it's because some quotes have so much meaning in a few words and can be related to so easily. I don't even know how many I have written down in random notebooks or saved onto my ipod, so there were a lot to choose from. 
This week, I have chosen a quote from The Perks of Being a Wallflower (which is amazing and my review can be read here.) 

The quote:

I chose this quote because it makes me feel really, really happy. It makes me realise that this is the generation that we're growing up in, whether we like it or not and that these are the years we'll tell our kids about and remember as 'our time'. It reminds me to just relax and enjoy it! Because it's happening! It makes me want to get a camera and take pictures of everything that is happening at this exact moment just because it is happening. Perks in general makes me appreciate things, but this quote makes me appreciate the time we live in and the things I get to do. 

I don't know if it's just me who feels like this when they read the quote, but I know that The Perks of being a Wallflower is full of memorable lines. I'm going to take part in this meme regularly and there will probably be a few more from Perks! 

If you've done a Quote me Thursday then link it in the comments because I've only read a couple before! Also, tell me if there's any Perks quotes that you love!
