"...But here on Coney Island, we learn to take each other as we are."
From
Magruder's Curiosity Cabinet
I'm currently reading this and highlighted that line because it really is the soul of this book, based around "carnie" characters at the turn of the 20th century
“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”- Gandalf to Frodo

"I will accept this side effect. I will accept any amount of monsters my mind wants to give me, but I will not become a monster myself." Its one of my favourite lines in Stars Above that Winter says and every time I read the line I feel teary eyed.
"If I could do it again, I would have blackmailed you into being my friend and left it at that."One line from one of my favorite quotes from:
"Even the young and privileged today wear their cynicism like a badge, their eyes blank and their minds full of things they never sought to know."From The House at Riverton
I find this quote eerily accurate; the mindset of the new generation put into words
Oh I love these quotes :)
“Ah, the outdoors,' Shallan said. 'I visited that mythical place once.”― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings
"Something, a finger I thought, touched my hand: it was not bony and hard. It was soft, and human-like, but too cold."Just a random phrase that stood out in the short story The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman in his book 'Trigger Warning'.
"It was a voice like a shadow in the woods at night. Quiet and dark and cold"A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
I think she has such a great writing style
Surprisingly, lots of humorous lines in this one. Here is another I just came across"I had time...to reflect on the oddity of sitting on a rock in the Scottish pool, listening to gaelic love songs, with a large dead fish in my lap."
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting

“After all, it's the librarian's sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.” 
The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
This is a very emotive book, lots of great lines, but this one really just jumped out at me:"I look at this T-shirt and wonder why we have not aged into softness like that shirt"
If I Should Lose You by Natasha Lester
From the book I am reading at the momentHow strange life is sometimes, I reflected.
