What's a favourite book quote?

Bookish Question #354 | What’s a favourite book quote?

I try and find at least one great quote from every book I read and review, and post that in my book review.

I’ve also been posting the first lines from books as part of #FirstLineFriday for many years.

My favourite quotes fall into three main categories:
  • Quotes that amuse me (which don’t always make great standalone quotes as they rely on the surrounding context)
  • Quotes that speak to me
  • Favourite Bible verses (of course)

Here are a few of my favourites from the last two years … starting with the funny ones.

When God calls you to something, He is not always calling you to succeed. He's calling you to obey. The success of the calling is up to Him, the obedience is up to you.
