There is just something about reading a good book, but the best thing about reading is coming across a quote and feeling that it was written just for you. Being able to relate to a quote as if it was talking to you directly, thats where the magic from reading comes from. Here are my favorite quotes:

1. "Her books were some of her very best friends." -Unknown.

2. "My will and my desire were turned by love, the love that moves the sun and the other stars." - Dante Alighieri.


3. "And she wept for herself and the changes that had been wrought in her, because sometimes even change for the better felt like a little death." - Cassandra Clare.

4. "You can love someone so much...but you can never love people as much as you can miss them." - John Green.

5. "She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live." -Annie Dillard.


6. "I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way." - Jane Austen.


7. "Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?" - Alfred Lord Tennyson.

8. "I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn." -Anne Frank.

9."You will only be as great as the people you surround yourself with, so be brave enough to let go of those who keep bringing you down. You shouldn't force connections with people who constantly make you feel less than amazing." - Unknown.

10. Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be." - Hamlet.

11. "I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else." -Neil Gaiman.


I hope that you enjoy these as much as I do!
