I had several people ask about the books I used for this book quotes meme, so here they are:
1. That morning I woke up crying, as usual. I didn't know anymore whether I was sad or not - my feelings had flowed away with the tears. - From Socrates in Love by Kyoichi Katayama
2. In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen. - From Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (guessed by aramis_chan)
3. With the north wind hard at his back, Scully stood in the doorway and sniffed. - From The Riders by Tim Winton
4. I found in dreams a place of wind and flowers,
Full of sweet trees and colour of glad grass - From "A Ballad of Life" by AC Swinburne; the first poem in one of my Swinburne books
5. Visitors to my home always notice the framed black-and-white photograph of my family. - From You Were Always Mom's Favorite by Debra Tannen
6. I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974. - From Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (guessed by merkuria)
7. In the sewing-room at Hever, Simonette bent over her work and, as she sat there, her back to the mullioned window through which streamed the hot afternoon sunshine - for it was the month of August and the sewing-room was in the front of the castle, overlooking the moat - a little girl of some seven years peeped round the door, smiled and advanced towards her. - From Murder Most Royal: The Story of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard by Jean Plaidy
8. When I was twenty-eight I decided to kill my mother. - From Island by Jane Rogers (guessed by mrs_leary)
9. In 1972 I was sixteen - young, my father said, to be traveling with him on his diplomatic missions. - From The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
10. My Dearest Sophie,
I don't know what to write, or how to write it if I did. I've arrived here in a dream, like someone stumbling over a threshold he never meant to cross. - From The Lost by Jonathan Aycliffe
