Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, this week’s prompt is:
Favourite Book Quotes (You can pick your favourite quotes from books, or about books! You can set a theme like quotes from books about love, friendship, hope, etc. or you can just share quotes you loved from your recent reads!)
This is a tough one for me as I don’t keep a note of quotes. I enjoy the books at the time then move on. I have therefore had to do a bit of research for this one.
First of all, here are some past posts containing quotes:

What is your favourite book quote?
After having a look around, I found that there were so many quotes that I loved from just two books that I decided to do five quotes from each:
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (click for link to my review). Quotes taken from Goodreads:
“If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you.”
“Never underestimate the big importance of small things”
“It is quite a revelation to discover that the place you wanted to escape to is the exact same place you escaped from. That the prison wasn’t the place, but the perspective.”
“You can have everything and feel nothing.”
“So long as there are still books on the shelves, you are never trapped. Every book is a potential escape.”
In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune (click for link to my review). Quotes taken from Goodreads:
“Forgiving others could be difficult, but forgiving yourself can sometimes feel impossible.”
“Humanity is awful, angry, and violent. But we are also magical and musical. We dance. We sing. We create. We live and laugh and rage and cry and despair and hope. We are a bundle of contradictions without rhyme or reason. And there is no one like us in all the universe.”
“Happiness comes not from bodily pleasures or wealth or power, but from living a life that’s right for your soul.”
“You were made to bring happiness. You are alive in ways we are not. You are soft and fragile. But you are complex and disturbing and sometimes foolishly brilliant.”
“Your brain is telling you that you can’t, but you don’t always have to listen to it.”
