10 of My Favorite Book Quotes | Top Ten Tuesday

Hello readers! I am participating in Top Ten Tuesday (a weekly meme run by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl) again this week, and the prompt for today is favorite book quotes.

I apologize in advance for the shortness of this post—I was originally planning on hand-lettering some of these quotes and including those images in the post, but I unfortunately didn’t get around to it. Perhaps I’ll be able to do a part two that includes lettering??

Anyways, without further ado, here are ten of my favorite book quotes!

“This is what made a book great, she thought, that you could read it over and over and never get tired of it.” —Jeanne Birdsall, The Penderwicks

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on Earth should that mean that it is not real?” —J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives.” —R.J. Palacio, Wonder

“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we are.” —J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“Chocolate is a substance worth existing for.” —C.G. Drews, A Thousand Perfect Notes

“We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled.” —J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“Mr. Spier, memorizing the Hamilton soundtrack is not going to save you on the AP Euro exam.” —Becky Albertalli, Leah on the Offbeat

“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have.” —J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“White shouldn’t be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn’t even be a default.” —Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

“‘It’s not natural for women to fight.’
‘It’s not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand.'” —Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

I tried to include a variety here, but most of these are from Harry Potter, haha. Anyway, this is only a small fraction of my favorite quotes, and I’m sure that there are plenty more that I haven’t thought of yet, so I will definitely consider writing a part two of this post, hopefully with hand-lettered quotes—let me know in the comments if this is something you’d like to see!

Also feel free to chat with me about some of your favorite book quotes—I’d love to hear them!
