Hello everyone!
I love fantasy and magic books, and all of them have a lot of fantastic quotes in them. Some of my favorite current series are Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.
A Throne of Glass quote that I love is "Libraries were full of ideas- prehaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons." The one that the two main characters have between them, though- that might be the best one of all. "To whatever end." I love that.
A Court of Thorns and Roses has many quotes too, like "You do not fear, you do not falter, you do not yield." and "Only you can decide what breaks you." The most well-known one is "To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered."
Haryy Potter has the most amazing quotes! It's near impossible to choose. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." "I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed- or worse, expelled." I love Hermione Granger, but one of my most favorite characters is Luna Lovegood. "I think they think I'm a bit odd. you know."
But I do love this Ravenclaw quote… "Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed…"

“Now get thee away, young man so fine; Now get thee away, I say; For my true love shall never be thine, And so thou hadst better not stay. Thou art not a fine enough lad for me, So I’ll wait till a better young man I see. For it’s hark! hark! hark! To the winged lark, And it’s hark to the cooing dove! And the bright daffodil Groweth down by the rill, Yet never I’ll be thy love. He “Then straight will I seek for another fair she, For many a maid can be found, And as thou wilt never have aught of me, By thee will I never be bound. For never is a blossom in the field so rare, But others are found that are just as fair. So it’s hark! hark! hark! To the joyous lark And it’s hark to the cooing dove! And the bright daffodil Growth down by the rill, And I’ll seek me another dear love. She “Young man, turn not so very quick away Another fair lass to find. Methinks I have spoken in haste today, Nor have I made up my mind, And if thou only wilt stay with me, I’ll love no other, sweet lad, but thee.”

I find this to be true. And yes, I'm the weird kid who comments on everything because she wants people to talk to her. That's me.

OH MY GOSH!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WINGS OF FIRE SERIES!! I have read all of the main books so far, and I'm excited for the fourteeth book to come out in September, an activity book next month, and the graphic novel version of The Dark Secret in December!
Anyway, here are my favorite character quotes in the series (I know, there are a lot. I couldn't help it!)…
"Mwa ha! That's me! Intimidating! Roar!"-Clay
"EVEN Sunny? What's that supposed to mean? I'm brave! I'm brave all the time!"-Sunny
"We are NOT calling it magical death spit!"-Glory
"You'd better learn some respect, squid-brain. We're the dragonets of destiny."-Tsunami
"I am saying it to your face. Or was I saying it to your rear end? It's easy to get the two confused."-Starflight
"You have to take that gift and do something with it, not run away from it."-Moonwatcher
"Because happiness isn't where I am, it's who I'm with."-Winter
"You can be the idea dragon and I can be the WHAM BAM SHOVE A PINEAPPLE UP HIS SNOUT dragon!"-Kinkajou
"I wish I'd done it, everyone would take me seriously…but I wouldn't hide it, I'd roar it to the world…"-Flame
"Yes,[…] I'm Queen Scarlet's notorious death monster."-Peril

Darn. I just read in the Wings Of Fire wiki that they're not releasing the activity book until next year (May 4, 2021)
Sorry about the misunderstanding. -
I love Wings Of Fire!!!!!
All of those quotes are amazing. I especially like Glory's and Starflight's and Peril's and Kinkajou's.
Peril and Kinkajou are some of my favorite characters. 🙂

This is one of the best quotes from one of the best books in the whole history of the universe.
“True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops.”
― William Goldman, The Princess Bride

I love the picture this quote evokes:
”At last they reached the crest of the gray hill, and a sudden breeze blew in their hair and stirred their cloaks: the chill wind of dawn.” — from The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R.Tolkien
This one is from a book in my favorite series:
”His elder brother John had said only that morning that steamships were just engines in tin boxes.” — Swallows and Amazons, The Swallows and Amazons Series, by Arthur Ransome
These quotes are from Our Castle by the Sea by Lucy Strange:
”I knew that the ancient magic of our cliffs was real and present and that I was destined— somehow—to become part of the legend too.”
“Mags suddenly locked her eyes upon him, and I saw that they were as cold as pebbles. 'You threatened my sister?' she whispered.”
This last quote is from a sad but beautiful book:
””You don’t have to be brave”, he says, real quiet. “Neither of us does. A man’s life is not so much about courage. You just have to keep going. You have to do what you’ve promised, brave or not.””
What book is this last one from?

Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to include the title of the book the last quote was from. It’s from Heart of a Shepherd by Rosanne Parry.

I love Our Castle by the Sea!!!

"We're weaving in between trees, careful not to disturb, on a mission. We mean no trouble. There are so many of us, the lonely souls. All of us who helped build this. Those who will watch it grow. Those we've lost. We march on together. Climbing, falling, soaring. Trying to get closer to the center of everything. Closer to oursleves. Closer to each other. Closer to something true."
"Better to burn out, right, than fade away?"
"Where are they, exactly, those stars? They're gone, but still here. Extinguished, but burning bright. A contradiction. How can that be? Maybe I'm like those stars now. I have a place in this universe, just not here anymore. How does it still end up this way? I try to follow how it happens, all of it. Still, I can't begin to understand."
"A vision. Staring into the mix of light and night, I see a vision. It's the same vision I've had before, a story I've told, one that became real to me and everyone, and somehow still feels real now, though it's not."
~All from Dear Evan Hansen (the novel) by Val Emmich (with Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul)

This one scares me…but I love it because of how much it makes me think.
