Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

Today's quote is from the fabulous Graceling by Kristin Cashore, I'm only 25% in the book but geez it's good!
I chose a quote that made me laugh out lout!

Sighing, Helda carried the dress from the batting room.
"It would look stunning, My lady," she called, "with your dark hair and your eyes."
Katsa yanked one of the more stubborn knotsin her hair. She spoke to the bubbles gathered on the surface of the water, "If there's anyone I wish to stun at dinner, I'll hit him in the face." -p.50

I mean how good is that quote? Priceless!

"I take no pleasure in food, but I still eat," I tell him. "I have no joy in life, but I live. Does that sound like an ordinairy woman? I am the Undead. The Hollow. I am numb. I am the sacred, stuffed into the profane. My body, made like yours of vile mud and ash, cannot contain all of who I am, and yet I am nothing at all. I am timeless, spaceless, crammed into time and space. I am the unspeakable made into a single word. I am a true violation of Truth." p.115

"Every time something embarrassing or horrible or stressful happens, stop and ake five slow deep breaths. THen ask yourself the "five" questions: Will this mater in five hours? Will this matter in five weeks? Will this matter in five years? You'd be surprised how things that seem earth-shattering at the time don't even pass the five-week test. It puts things in Perspective."
