Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish.
This week is one of my favorite Top Ten topics! I absolutely love quotes and I love highlighting them or marking them on my books. So, today I'm listing some of my favorite quotes of book I've read this year. There are some really deep ones, some that I just thought were funny, the ones that for some reason resonated with me and some of them were just too epic to pass out. Here we go!
#1
"The thing is, being lonely is like walking in the cold without a coat. It’s uncomfortable, but eventually you go numb. Once you get used to not being lonely, though, the shock of going back is like having your down comforter yanked off at six o’clock on a Minnesota December morning".
From: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall
#2
"I don’t understand people. They smile when they are mad. They hug people they hate. They steal from people they genuinely love. And they are jealous of babies"
From: Brighter Than the Sun by Darynda Jones
#3
"Behind them, across the hall, the dancers shattered their roses on the floor, and Aedion grinned at his queen as the entire world went to hell"
From: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

"If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: We all want everything to be okay. We don't even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough.”
From: Every Day by David Levithan

'Are you in a suit?' I managed at last, my voice choking up. 'You didn’t have to dress up for me.'
'Quiet, Sage,' he said. 'I’ll make the hilarious one-liners during this daring rescue.”
#6
"The thing is...what they don’t tell you about forgiveness is this—you don’t give it for the other person’s sake, but your own."
From: In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken
#7
"I didn't know someone could love me like this," she said. "Could love me and love me and love me without...needing space." Lincoln wasn't asleep. He rolled on top of her.
"There's no air in space," he said.
From: Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
#8
"Just for the record, saying 'The surprise hasn't started yet' while pulling something out of your pants is super creepy."
#9
"I'm not a sucker for happily ever afters, but if these two characters don't get theirs I might climb inside this e-reader and lock them both inside that damn garage forever."
#10
"In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you. (And the ones you can't Google.)"
From: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Honorary mentions
"Pity those who don't feel anything at all."
From: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
"The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave."
From: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
"Besides the alternate universe offered by a book, the quiet space of a museum was my favorite place to go. My mom said I was an escapist at heart . . . that I preferred imaginary worlds to the real one. It’s true that I’ve always been able to yank myself out of this world and plunge myself into another."
From: Die for Me by Amy Plum
