  1. Thank you! The first one is Toni Morrison actually. Here is a topic I made with more quotes (including the ones in my sig).
  2. I'm sure you are a better cellist than I Ooh dutches are cute too! Thanks for the advice- I'll make sure to stay away from spoilers
  3. 1. Yep! Cello & Piano 2. American Fuzzy Lop 3. I used to have a dog 4. Literally just Warbreaker Starting the Stormlight Archive this month though and I'm rlly excited!!! 5. Don't have one yet~ 6. Nope :/ 7. It depends- mostly, yes. 8. As in pasta variety? fettuccine. As in noodle type? glass noodles. 1. American Ragdoll or Turkish Angora 2. Beagle 3. AAAAAA THIS IS HARD. I CAN'T CHOOSE- *hyperventilates* - yeah i cant choose 0-0 4. i spent way too much time with the symphonian bookworm, so yes :] 5. hmmmmmm... Monopoly? Settlers of Catan? Ticket to Ride? 6. Snow leopard or dolphin. 7. Space 8. Astronomy or chemistry. 9. Not sure. History is complicated. I don't have a favorite or least favorite event, just a curiosity to learn more about the ways of those before us. There are time periods that I think are more interesting than others, but still, it isn't a matter of favoritism. For something to be my favorite, does it mean I'd want to live during that event? Does it mean I prefer learning about that event? Does it mean I think that event is the best thing that happened in history? The worst? History already happened. It's our past. We can't look back on our past, but we also can't live our future leaving everything before us unknown. History is like the ocean. Or the universe. There is so much of it. We may think we know so much. But so much is lost. A mystery. There is still so much left to uncover. The second you spent reading the line before this is now history. Yet still, it is not recorded in history. No one will ever remember that moment. No one might even remember you. History is seconds waiting to happen. Just seconds could change history. So I do not have a favorite event in history, just a love for learning more of it. 10. Don't have one. My brother has a Nintendo Switch though, so we play Mario Karts and stuff on there sometimes. 11. I'll get back to you on that one after I read some more.
  4. Thought this would be fun Ask away!
  5. Oh wow those are beautiful too! Adding them now
  6. Here are some of the best quotes about books that I've come across! “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.” - C.S. Lewis “In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.” - Mortimer J. Adler “Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.” - Anna Quindlen “but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.” - Jane Austen “I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.” - Neil Gaiman “Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.” - Dave Eggers “There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.” - Irving Stone “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” - Neil Gaiman “If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” - Toni Morrison “Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.” - John Green “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” - Charles W. Eliot “A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.” - William Styron “The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” - Oscar Wilde Which one is your favorite? Are there any more I should add? My top 3 are in my signature <3 Here are some more: "Sleep is good, and books are better" - George RR Martin “I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.” - George RR Martin “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one..." - George RR Martin “The great thing about reading is that it broadens your life” - George RR Martin "I cannot live without books" - Thomas Jefferson "Reading only one book is like eating only one potato chip." - Diane Duane "Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them." - Lemony Snicket "A book is a gift you can open again and again." - Garrison Keillor. "Books break your heart and then put it back together again, but better than it was before." - @Elf
  7. Thank you!
  8. Well, goldfish have the lifespan of 10 years, but most don't even get to live that long. The average IQ of a goldfish is 30-40, meanwhile a freshwater salmon is about 130. So when I said goldfish, I meant the cliche little goldfish swimming around in its bowl in cartoons. It's a small, insignificant creature that is a short-lived pet, and giving it all your breath (especially if you have a lot of it) seemed like a funny idea to me. What use would a goldfish have with more breath than the God King? Would he become the next God King himself- a goldfish?
  9. Going AFK for 4 days-

  10. Give it to your goldfish lol
  11. Thanks guys!
  12. Hey guys! I created an account because my best friend SymphonianBookworm finally convinced me to lol. After borrowing Warbreaker I realized I really like Brandon Sanderson and I'm eager to read more! See y'all around <3
  13. Okay this might be a little long but: You are sitting on the bench by the park where you and your best friend always meet up, staring at the sunrise in the early morning over the river and you and your best friend sit there, with your arms around each other, knowing that your best friend is moving to a new country later that day and this will be your last morning together. Silent tears run down your faces and you say nothing as you hear the birds chirping and watch the stunning sunrise together. You just want time to stop so you can be with your best friend forever.
