This week I’m sharing the quotes that I love from characters. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This was a really fun post to do. It got me really thinking, I had to try and remember some of those quotes that just hit me hard and fast. There are a mix of different books and genre’s here and I really love that. I tried to also pick quotes from some of my favourite books. Let’s get right into this. Like always these are in no order. 

“Because despite how much he’d hurt me, despite his betrayal and everything it had caused, I still fucking loved him with my whole sullied soul.”

– Hades, Timber by Tate James 

“I’ll give you the world,” he said against my mouth. “The moon. The fucking stars. Anything you ask, it’s yours. I’m yours.”

– Aaron, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas 

“And then suddenly he was there, charging down the hallway like death in a cowboy duster.”

– Rose, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead 

“I like how you smile and how you laugh. I like how you love and defend your family and I like how you’re trying to love mine I love how you trust. But mostly, Emily, I like how I feel when I’m around you.”

– Oz, Nowhere but Here by Katie McGarry  

“Love can’t cure a mental illness. There are lots of ways to help him, you can just be there. To listen. To talk To cheer him up if he’s having a bad day. And on the bad days, you can ask what to could do to make things easier. Stand by his side, even when things are hard. But also knowing that sometimes people need more support than just one person can give. That’s love darling.” 

– Sarah Nelson (Nick’s mum), Heartstopper Vol 4 by Alice Oseman 

“I wish I’d been born in another time, another place. Then maybe I could’ve escaped fate… maybe I could’ve been your darling.”

– Sascha Duncan, Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh

I’d never known what it was to be held before that. Never knew what it was to have someone hold you so tenderly that you feared you might just collapse into fragments of who you once were without their touch.

– Queen Audra, A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields

“You’re a King who makes her want to be his rough-and-tumble Queen.”

– Cressida, Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling

“I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn’t that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.”

– Xiomara Batista, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

“You’re too precious to put into words. I think … it’s like one of Theodore’s buttons. If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it’s because they exist at all.”

– Arthur Parnassus, The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune
