Book Quotes

 

I do a lot of highlighting/annotating when I read Kindle or physical books (a little trickier on audio), so it was easy to find a slew of quotes I have highlighted and saved for one reason or another. While I wouldn't necessarily call these "favorite" quotes, they each struck a chord with me at the time I read them.

Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women.

- The Women, Kristin Hannah

When women banded together, they could make empires tremble.

- The Lily of Ludgate Hill, Mimi Matthews

A best friend will accept you in all the ways that you are you. They don’t judge you. They expect nothing from you. They don’t care about your looks, how much money you have, or how popular you are. They will laugh with you and cry with you. They will eat all the ice cream with you. They will look you in the eye and tell you you’re an idiot when you’re being an idiot, and you will love them for it. Unconditionally, you will mirror their love and loyalty.

- The Lovely Return, Carian Cole

Sometimes the songs are meant to sing a pack member home. It’s easy to get lost because the world is a wide and scary place. And every now and then, you just have to be reminded of the way home.

- Wolfsong, TJ Klune

My loyalty is to the people who bring positivity into my life. My loyalty is to the people who want to build me up and see me happy. Those are the people I’m going to make decisions about my life for.

- It Starts With Us, Colleen Hoover

I think I’m most grateful for time, which doesn’t always heal all wounds, but teaches us how to be happy again even with our scars.

- Before I Let Go, Kennedy Ryan

You stand resolutely at my side, unmoving. Babe, you are love in suspended motion. The calm in the storm of our lives. You’re where everything stops. You’re where I stop. You are…everything.”

- Pucking Wild, Emily Rath

A body was just a body, just a vessel for her soul, and she was under no obligation to keep her body looking any certain way, no more than she was obliged to do anything just because it was customary, or traditional, or expected of women in America. She didn’t have to get married, she didn’t have to have kids, and she didn’t have to be thin.

- Mrs. Everything, Jennifer Weiner

One of the great injustices of this rigged world we live in is that women are considered to be depleting with age and men are somehow deepening.

- Carrie Soto is Back, Taylor Jenkins Reid

That’s what love is. It’s finding that perfectly imperfect person that complements your heart, that brightens your shadows, that sees your broken, mismatched parts and wants to spend the rest of their life piecing them into place. And even if those pieces never fully fit, they love you anyway. They love you more.

- The Stars Are On Our Side, Jennifer Hartmann
