If you click on the button above, you get to the main page of the Moonlight Party under the Big Top. While I am not a particular fan of the circus, I have been very much drawn to Erin Morgenstern's novel The Night Circus. The magical realism of the book is enchanting, and you can't help but think "what if." There are several noteworthy quotes, and I chose one of them for this party:
"We lead strange lives, chasing our dreams from place to place."
-- Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
What fun! When I was a kid I went to every circus that came to town. Not only to the performances, but my friends and I were there when they would start putting up the big top and what excitement that was!! Now I am a big fan of Cirque du Soleil - have you been to one of their performances?
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!! Silke
Ja, ich habe mir beim Lesen auch einige Zitate herausgeschrieben, die mich besonders angesprochen haben. Hast Du Dir das Buch auch schon von Matthias Brandt vorlesen lassen? Gab´s zum Glück in meiner Stadtbücherei ...
ReplyDeleteThat was a very significant quote in the book what a wonderful one for you to select. I love the digital artwork also.

What fun is life if you're not chasing your dreams? Thank you for the quote (I haven't read the book) and picture! :-)

I will admit I listened to the book, since I was on the road a lot last month. It is spookier when traveling down a highway in the very dark night.
ReplyDeleteI think you posted a wonderful quote.
Your creation is just perfect for the book quote, makes me want to read the book :-) thank you for the lovely comment on my blog, Debi x
ReplyDeleteOh, I think you've given me the post for my next blog party. For, I just remember a boy who wraps a red bandanna around his head after making love to a girl, and follows a circus of gypsies around the world. Dream follower, indeed ;-)
