I felt like we needed a thread for favorite book quotes since we have one for song lyrics and movies.

Whether it be an entire passage from a book that hits you in some profound way or it's just a short phrase that is so beautifully put together that you have to read it more than once just to savor it, here is a thread for those quotes that you come across on your reading journeys.


One of my favorites (and the quote that prompted me to actually start jotting down book quotes in a journal) is from:

The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury - "Moonlit reflections trembled in the glass like schools of disturbed silver minnows."
