Here are all my favorite quotes from Anthony Doerr's book:



1
Don't you want to be alive before you die? quote
This one is undoubtedly inspiring.


2
All your life you wait, and then it finally comes, and are you ready? quote
What is it that you're waiting for? What happens when the moment arrives?


3
“He says, “You are very brave.” She lowers the bucket. “What is your name?” He tells her. She says, “When I lost my sight, Werner, people said I was brave. When my father left, people said I was brave. But it is not bravery; I have no choice. I wake up and live my life. Don’t you do the same?” He says, “Not in years. But today. Today maybe I did.”
Bravery is simply living your life every day. But do we really live our lives?


4
He sees what other people don’t. What the war did to dreamers.
Frederick truly was a dreamer.

We do not even realize when people all around us have taken control of our lives.


7
You know the greatest lesson of history? It’s that history is whatever the victors say it is. That’s the lesson. Whoever wins, that’s who decides the history.
Are parts of history lost among the ruins of whoever lost?


8
Time is a slippery thing: lose hold of it once, and its string might sail out of your hands forever.
A truth we often forget


9
So how, children, does the brain, which lives without a spark of light, build for us a world full of light?
This quote is my favorite for reasons I don't know.


10
Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.
Last but definitely not least. There is a lot to see in this world.
