BBH: Quote Your Favourite Author

So, this week's topic was supposed to be quote your favourite author but I'm going a little rogue and sharing a collection of beloved book quotes because I don't really have a favourite author and there are too many beloved quotes to limit the post like that! 😀

The majority of these quotes are from books I've read but there are a couple that I've randomly stumbled across and adored so had to include.

Let me know your favourite in the comments!

(From my list or your own.)

“It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides.
