Brilliant quotes, everyone! ❤️

Here are my favorites -

I do not know a perfect person. I only know imperfect people who are still worth loving.
- John Green

Break my heart, break it a thousand times. It was only ever yours to break.
-Kiera Cass

"I love you, and I will love you until I die and if there's a life after that, I'll love you then."
- Jace Herondale, City of Glass.

"Of course it's in your head, Harry. But why on earth should that mean it is not real?"
- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter.

"One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."
- Tessa Gray, Clockwork Angel

"You want weapons? We're in a library. Books! The best weapons in the world!"
- Doctor Who. (Not a book, but meh)

When you're a kind, they tell you it's all . . . Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that's it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.
- Elton Pope, Doctor Who

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
-Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of being a Wallflower.

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
- Agatha Christie

"We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
- Doctor Who.

"You don't just give you. You don't just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what's right, even when everyone else just runs away."
- Rose Tyler, Doctor Who.

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.
- The Tenth Doctor.

...I think it's important to protect people. To stand up for people. Like you did for me. That's what the Dauntless are supposed to do right? That's what courage is. Not...hurting people for no reason. by Al - Divergent, Veronica Roth


We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.' Will, Divergent - Veronica Roth


We believe that preparation eradicates cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear. four, Divergent - Veronica Roth


I used to think the Dauntless were fearless. That is how they seemed, anyway. But maybe what I saw as fearless was actually fear under control. Tris, Divergent- Veronica Roth
