This post is all about the best book quotes from books that we love ( from the BEST BOOKS!)
From the time you crack open the book and read the first sentence to the perfect paragraph, there are certain parts of books that will have you in your feels. Now, whether they make you laugh, cry, or simply think, certain quotes have a habit of sticking with you long after you’ve read the final line and closed the book.
Those quotes become quotes of a lifetime and stick with you. They become the ones that when someone says what are the best book quotes you’ve ever read, they’re the ones you immediately think of.
Here are some best book quotes of a lifetime and the books they belong to:
If you have read parts of my blog you know that The Starless Sea is one of my ALL-TIME favorite books. I read it over a year ago— I am definitely due for a re-read. While this book is full of quotes that you will absolutely swoon over, here are the ones that have been ranked in the top 3:
- “We are all stardust and stories”.- Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
2. “Be brave,’ she says. ‘Be bold. Be loud. Never change for anyone but yourself. Any soul worth their star – stuff will take the whole package as is and however it grows. Don’t waste your time on anyone who doesn’t believe you when you tell them how you feel.”-Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
3. “Their story is only just beginning. And no story ever truly ends as long as it is told.” – Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
