A lot of my favorite quotes lay forgotten in my favorites folder with nowhere to go so I’m starting a new series. I’ll be posting my fav quotes from books I’ve read every month just so i can return to them whenever I feel like it and for readers who haven’t read the books can take that post as a sign and read it.

If you’re anything like me, who loves a good quote, I promise this series will be worth your time, so do stay till the end.

♡ The Sticky Note Manifesto of Aisha Agarwal

“The salt of patience seasons everything.”

“What’s wrong with having goals?”
“Nothing, but sometimes we run toward things to run from ourselves.”

“Besides, if I told Ma and Pa I’m majoring in fine art, they’d hear that I’m majoring in instability.”

♡My Brilliant Friend

“Our world was like that, full of words that killed”

“Women, who appeared to be silent, acquiescent, when they were angry flew into a rage that had no end.”

“And for the first time I thought: Lila is prettier than I am. So I was second in everything. I hoped that no one would ever realize it.”

“So she’ll be better off and we’ll be worse.”

“And that every disobedient act contained breathtaking opportunities.”

“Or, rather, I had made a place for her in me.”

“Nowhere it is written that you can’t do it.”

“In those middle school years many things changed right before our eyes, but day by day, so that they didn’t seem to be real changes.”

“The library was a great resource for her.”

“And I would slowly feel that the novels I read were pointless and that my life was bleak, along with the future, and what I would become.”

“Was it possible that only our neighbourhood was filled with conflicts and violence, while the rest of the city was radiant, benevolent?”

♡The Good Girl Effect

“When I say you’re perfect, I don’t mean that perfection defines you. I mean you define perfection.” 

“But our hearts and lives will grow around those holes, and I hope more than anything that we can do that together. I love you so much it hurts, little bird. But I don’t want to hold you down anymore. When you do fly off, I hope you will take us with you. And if you can’t, I understand.  At least I hope you can take our memories and this apology.”

“This is the first time I’ve properly left home in years. It feels like a taste of adventure when what I really want is a lifetime of it.”

♡Wild Side

“My heart pounds, and I can’t look away from Rhys’s hands. Big and tan. Strong and gentle. Mine and yet…not mine at all.”

“I wish you weren’t seeing me like this.”
“Like what?”
“At my worst.”
I tip my head toward her. “Then it’s all uphill from here, baby. It’s going to make seeing you at your best so damn special.”

♡Does This Make Me Funny?

“Our scars tell a story; they are a map of where we have been.”

“But even today I wonder if there aren’t still a few pieces of glass floating around somewhere in my body. Perhaps that’s what happens to everyone when they have their heart broken. Maybe there’s always a little piece that stays cracked. A reminder, a memory of the pain that teaches you not to repeat it, one that makes the true love you eventually find that much more rewarding. “
