I often find comfort in books. Whether it’s a lighthearted jab or deep words of wisdom, or a moment of inspiration… books have a lot of things to say about life and love and humor and hope.
Today, I’m going to share a few favorites with you. <3

― Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened
“It is terrible how much has been forgotten, which is why, I suppose, remembering seems a holy thing.”
― Anita Diamant, The Red Tent

Favorite Book Quotes
For me, this is SUCH a hard one, because I have hundreds of quotes saved on Goodreads. There’s a reason why there’s a rotating quotation in my sidebar! Some amuse me, some inspire me, some are just truths. I love books and their wisdom.

that harry potter quote is great. & the queen of tearling & the anne of green gables, I like those but really the rest, not really. it’s probably because I haven’t read those books yet.
have a lovely day.
Knowing the book definitely does help. I have hundreds of quotes saved on Goodreads that I like for various reasons, and definitely just hit “random” to pull up the ones for this post. :). I’m glad you liked the handful, though!
Great quotes 🙂 I love them all! I really liked the The Queen of the Tearling quote, even tho I haven’t read that book.
I LOVED The Queen of the Tearling – I definitely recommend it!
I love these quotes! I’ve never even heard of The Queen of the Tearling, but that quote is INCREDIBLE. I love that and now probably really need to read the book.
Oh, you really ought to try it out. The first book is amazing and the ending of the trilogy is soooo unsatisfying but also perfect and ahhhhhh definitely recommended.
Great quotes! Especially the Harry Potter and the Anne of Green Gables ones lol. A rose as a cabbage? Ew! XD
I totally agree with Anne – the name *definitely* matters. 😛
Love these quotes, especially the Harry Potter and Game of Thrones ones. Great choices.
I *adore* that quote by Dany. 🙂 It’s one of my favorites in the series, I was so glad that one popped up when I was doing the prompt!!!
