So, here are ten of my favorite book quotes! (In no particular order)
- “You have me. Until every last star in the galaxy dies. You have me.”
― Amie Kaufman, Illuminae - “So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.”― Roald Dahl, Matilda
- “Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything."― Stephenie Meyer, New Moon
- “No sight so sad as that of a naughty child," he began, "especially a naughty little girl. Do you know where the wicked go after death?" "They go to hell," was my ready and orthodox answer. "And what is hell? Can you tell me that?" "A pit full of fire." "And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?" "No, sir." "What must you do to avoid it?" I deliberated a moment: my answer, when it did come, was objectionable: "I must keep in good health and not die.”― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
- “This life is a dance, not a battle. We are all part of this world, not masters of it.”― Kate Constable, The Waterless Sea
- “One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
- “With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later.”― Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian
- “I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting.”― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
- “I can communicate in 6,909 living and dead languages. I can have more than fifteen billion simultaneous conversations, and be fully engaged in every single one. I can be eloquent, and charming, funny, and endearing, speaking the words you most need to hear, at the exact moment you need to hear them.Yet even so, there are unthinkable moments where I can find no words, in any language, living or dead.And in those moments, if I had a mouth, I might open it to scream.”― Neal Shusterman, Thunderhead
- “You see, some people are born with a piece of night inside, and that hollow place can never be filled - not with all the good food or sunshine in the world. That emptiness cannot be banished, and so some days we wake with the feeling of the wind blowing through, and we must simply endure it as the boy did.”― Leigh Bardugo, The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic
