"It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart’s desire; she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it.”
~ Narnia by C.S Lewis

There’s a tough fight over my second favorite

”I’m in love with you," he said quietly.
“Augustus,” I said.
“I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”


”You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world…but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

I don’t really have one singular over-arching favorite quote, or ones for each book.

I know that The Little Prince has already been written multiple times, but man did that book really make me cry at the end-

I find it hilarious that everyone’s favorite quotes are so philosophical and mines just “Will you quit shouting and let me bleed in peace?!”

lol, one of my favorite quotes from Six of Crows is this classic:

“Kaz leaned back. “What’s the easiest way to steal a man’s wallet?”
“Knife to the throat?” asked Inej.
“Gun to the back?” said Jesper.
“Poison in his cup?” suggested Nina.
“You’re all horrible,” said Matthias.”

“In life, it is very important to be our own self, work on our terms and conditions. Be your own self. When you are wearing the boots of a person who was a Legend, the worst thing I can do was to copy him or be him, because I could never be J.R.D Tata.”
