I love finding new quotes in books that I can relate to or use in my life.  Let’s face it, some fiction books can offer us solid advice!  It makes you wonder if the authors follow that advice as well (probably not, lol).  One day I’d like to take my favorite quotes and just put them all over my walls, but since I will most likely not be staying at the apartment I’m in, I’ll have to wait on that for now.

So today I’d like to share some of my favorite quotes from books I’ve read.  I probably won’t share all of them in one shot – especially because I’m always finding new ones – so this will more than likely end up as a type of series post that I’ll do once in a while.

Favorite Book Quotes

“It’s like when you’re learning to ride a bike. You’re going to fall and you might get hurt, but you get back up on the bike and try again. And even when you get the hang of it there’s still going to be bumps in the road, but you just keep riding.” – Tabitha G. Kelly, Standing By

“We do not remember days, we remember moments.” – Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

“No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.” – Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

“Boys turns girls into such idiots.” – Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“When in doubt, go to the library.” – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Okay, that’s probably enough for now.  I’ll definitely be writing up another post as I read more books and search my favorites for my favorite quotes.  This can definitely end up as a series-type of post in the future.
