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
“The thing about growing up with Fred and George,” said Ginny thoughtfully, “is that you sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.”
― Erika Johansen, The Queen of the Tearling
“Because I haven’t yet learned the simplest and most important thing of all: the world is difficult, and we are all breakable. So just be kind.”
“I had tasted cake and there was no going back. My tiny body had morphed into a writhing mass of pure tenacity encased in a layer of desperation. I would eat all of the cake or I would evaporate from the sheer power of my desire to eat it.”
― 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
“He had never known such gallantry as the gallantry of Scarlett O’Hara going forth to conquer the world in her mother’s velvet curtains and the tail feathers of a rooster.”

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.
What are some of your favorite book quotes?
Do you underline or save the best passages while you read?
Have you ever founds yourself quoting a book?
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!!!
