I love a good book quote. I have picked up books based solely on reading one quote, and it often pays off! There are so many quotes I love and want to share with you all, but I wanted this post to have more of a focus, so these are some of my favourite quotes from the books I have read so far in 2020. You will see that I am drawn to quotes that are short yet impactful.
“Uniformity is not unity. Silence is not peace.”
Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“People don’t change. They just get better at hiding who they really are.”

“Do not underestimate the strength it takes to be kind in a world as cruel as ours.”

“Home is what you take with you, not what you leave behind.”

“Fight until you can’t breathe, & if you have to forfeit, you forfeit smiling, make them think you let them win.”
