From a book I just finished recently...

Last Sacrifice: A Vampire Academy Novel

I gave him a reluctant hug too and was surprised when he didn't pull back. He smiled at me...fondly. "Ah, my daughter," he said. "Eighteen, and already you've been accused of murder, aided felons, and acquired a death count higher than most guardians will ever see." He paused. "I couldn't be prouder."

Frustation filled his features. "Rose, I've done a lot of bad things, most of which I can never fix or find redemption for. My only choice now, if I want to reclaim my life, is to go forward, stopping evil and doing what's right. And what is not right is taking a woman from another man, a man I like and respect. I'll steal cars. I'll break into houses. But there are lines I will not cross, no matter what...."

the truth about forever(to all people who didnt read this book,you are missing out on one of the most inspirational books ever)

"That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth
about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening. Right then, as I ran with him into that bright sun, and every moment afterwards."

harry potter (I think quotes like this make me like it)

"watching the news? AGAIN?"
"well, it changes every day, you know."

Quote from DorkFishOK

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
"(I felt very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo)"

The Little Prince by Antione de Saint-Exupery
"'And all day long he says over ang over, just like you, 'I'm a serious man! I'm a serious man!' And that puffs him up with pride. But he's not a man at all-he's a mushroom!' 'He's a what?' 'A mushroom!' The little prince was now quite pale with rage." 😀

"'If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars. He tells himself, 'My flower's up there somewhere...' But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn't important?'"

gosh.... i love these two books. I think I can highlight everything in the little prince since they're all so meaningful and I always came back and found sth new

Some of those that I LOVE so much:
"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."

"All grown-ups were children first. (But few remember it)."

" ' don't believe you! Flowers are weak creatures. They are naïve. They reassure themselves as best they can. They believe that their thorns are terrible weapons...' "

and the scenes when he talked about numbers and how grown-ups need numbers to make sense of everything
"Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: "What does his voice sound like?" "What games does he like best?" "Does he collect butterflies?". They ask: "How old is he?" "How many brothers does he have?" "How much does he weigh?" "How much money does his father make?" Only then do they think they know him."

Bell Jar
"Wherever I sat — on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok — I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air."

Wuthering Heights
“You said I killed you - haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”
