Book quotes are always fun, whether to recite them or use them as inspiration. I find that a lot (that I save) are either encouraging, inspirational, or relatable to my own life. I find a lot of quotes in books that I like, but I’m not always so good at saving them or writing them down to remember later on. Maybe after doing this post I’ll try to get better at that.
10 of My Favorite Book Quotes
“We do not remember days, we remember moments.”
– All the Bright Places (Jennifer Niven)
“I sometimes look at my bookshelf now and think about how someday I’m going to die without ever reading a lot of the books there. And one might be life-changingly good and I’ll never knower moments.”
– Goodbye Days (Jeff Zentner)
“Turns out there’s a reason they call it falling in love, because when it happens – really happens – that’s exactly how it feels. There’s no doing or trying, you just let go and hope that someone’s going to be there to catch you.”
– Love & Gelato (Jenna Evans Welch)
“Boys turn girls into such idiots.”
– Anna and the French Kiss (Stephanie Perkins)
“Fiction was fine, but real life was the true freak show.”
– Emergency Contact (Mary H.K. Choi)
“You don’t get things past librarians.”
– The Vanishing Stair (Maureen Johnson)
“Here’s the thing about anxiety: it’s not rational. It’s not rational, but it’s still real, and it’s still scary, and that’s okay.”
– A Quiet Kind of Thunder (Sara Barnard)
“It doesn’t matter what we are, it matters what we do.”
– The School for Good and Evil (Soman Chainani)
“Everyone has their own troubles; some lay them bare while others hide them better.”
– Daughter of the Moon Goddess (Sue Lynn Tan)
“Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.”
– If I Stay (Gayle Forman)

Emergency Contact is one of my favorites! Great list. I’m terrible at remembering quotes and I need to be better about tabbing, while I’m reading.

I have a book quote journal that I’ve kept for years, but I’m still REALLY bad at writing quotes down. Most of the time it’s just from sheer laziness. LOL.
Nice picks! Happy TTT!

All the Bright Places is just… ❤️ I don’t even know how else to explain it. There’s probably a lot of quotes from it that I haven’t saved that I loved.

I’ve only read ‘If I Stay,’ which I enjoyed (I liked her book ‘Frankie & Bug’ too.) Have you seen the movie of ‘If I Stay?’

I haven’t seen the movie yet. I actually forgot there was one until I reread the book last year 😅

Good quotes! Someone else said they try to remember to save quotes on goodreads and I’m the same way. 🤣

Yeah, I’m just horrible at remembering to add them after reading. That’s the one thing I like about ebooks is being able to highlight quotes as I see them and go back later.
