Little Bits of Wisdom- January and February 2010

So I'm back with a new post today! As it's the last day of February, it's time for the quotes I've found in books during the past few months (since I'm trying to do some catch up!). I made a name for this post, since I'll be doing it every month now. It's not very creative but I think it's a heck of a lot better than just plain old book quotes! So, here we go:

"...I don't regret yesterday and I don't anticipate tomorrow. I live in today, and revel in it." -Carolly Erickson, The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette

"Honest men have no occasion to fall on their knees to make their requests."- Marie Antoinette

"In troublesome times, a mere nothing may save a life, or destroy it." -Madame Campan, The Private Life of Marie Antoinette

"Persons of integrity have nothing to fear from the evil-disposed." -Princesse de Lamballe

"Fear isn't actually a bad thing. It's a primitive instinct that's your friend. It warns you to pay attention, because you're in danger. It tells you to do something, to act, to save yourself." -Nancy Werlin, Rules of Survival

"But when you insist on cleaving to the past, no matter how enchanted your memory of it might be, you have to endlessly revise the present to accommodate it." -Kathryn Davis, Versailles

"Nothing's certain in this life, unless you count being born and dying. Everything in between in a gamble, and anyone who thinks otherwise in a damned fool." -Catherine Anderson, Early Dawn

"Wherever the hand of God take you, remember that you will teach by your example, do good every time you find the occasion." -King Louis XVI

"He must forget all hate and resentment." -King Louis XVI

"Do not give in to useless alarm... though it is right to be prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

That's it, not nearly as much as last time, so I'm very proud of myself. =D Right now, I'm still getting through Sharon Lathan's continuation series of Pride and Prejudice. I just finished the first in her series, Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwillam Darcy, a few hours ago, and started the second, Loving Mr. Darcy. I'm very excited, because I was never a huge fan of the first book, but, from what I remember, I like the second one A LOT better. So, after that, I'll read the third one in the series, My Dearest Mr. Darcy, which is the one I'll be reviewing. I'll try to get it up quickly, but I happen to have a lot of stuff coming up this week, so it probably won't be up for at least a week and a half.

Also, it recent news, I made a Twitter account for this blog! It's really weird for me, because I've never had a Twitter because I think it's pretty pointless to have a one, if you have a Facebook and actually write your status updates. But, since there's no Facebook for the blog, I decided, might as well! So, you follow it! It's really simple: KristiReads. And I'll try to make sure to update it! =D

And as always, feel free to email me at Kristi_Reads@yahoo.com or comment to discuss anything!

Thanks for reading!

Love,
