It's really hard for me to choose only one so I've picked the best quotes I wrote down from different books.
"And would you rather sir, that your sister could recite by rote the principal rivers of Russia and China or those other shreds of useless knowledge that are nowadays so much the fashion? ...What I call education is not which smothers a woman with incidental accomplishments, but that which instead encourages in her the power and habit of thinking." - Julia Barrett, Presumption
"There are days when you really just need to know there is going to be someone on your side, even if you're the one screwing up." - Theresa Alan, The Girl's Guide to Global Guys
"It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh - I really think that requires spirit." - Jean Webster, Daddy Long Legs
"It isn't the big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of little ones - I've discovered the secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now. Not to be forever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant." - Jean Webster, Daddy Long Legs
"To want things is to be constantly disappointed." - Suzanne Weyn, Reincarnation
"Only fools think they have all the answers." - Suzanne Weyn, Reincarnation
"The whole of man's life on the face of the Earth can be summed up by that search for his Soul Mate. He may pretend to be running after wisdom, money, or power, but none of that matters. Whatever he achieves will be incomplete if he fails to find his Soul Mate." - Paulo Coelho, Brida
“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.” - John Green, Looking For Alaska
