Favorite Book Quotes

The last time I posted about my favorite book quotes was August 2014, so I guess this is overdue. However, I don’t really keep track of quotes from books very often; thus, a lot of my faves haven’t changed since then.

“You know,” Cole said. “My mom once told me a boy would know he’d become a man when he stopped putting himself first. She said a girl would come along and I wouldn’t be able to get her out of my mind.

I want to be what you need. Tell me what you need.” – Gena Showalter, Through the Zombie Glass
