Sometimes we find a line or dialogue in a book that becomes memorable. Some lines often become legendary. Can you identify what book each line comes from:

1. "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you."

2. "Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."

3. "Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all."

4. "And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

5. "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

(Answers will be posted on Friday!)

This is amazing!

How cool is this? It's the Amelia Valerio Weinberg Memorial Fountain, aka Book Fountain, at Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library. It was created by Michael Frasca. I love libraries that have bookish art! (Photo credit unknown)
