My Favorite Book Quotes

Today’s TTT topic is all about book quotes that fit a theme. I decided to share my favorite quotes instead. Here we go:


“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind     

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

“There are people you know all your life who never really make a difference to who you are; others arrive for a short time and change everything.”

― Miranda Dickinson, Fairytale of New York

“It’s not a big thing, but I guess it’s true – big things are often just small things that are noticed.”

― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
