Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë (1847)

• "If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."

The Book Thief, Markus Zusak (2005)

• "The consequence of this is that I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both."

The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien (1937)

• "'Where did you go to, if I may ask?' said Thorin to Gandalf as they rode along.
• 'To look ahead', said he.
• 'And what brought you back in the nick of time?'
• 'Looking behind', said he."

Looking for Alaska, John Green (2005)

• "Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."

Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher (2007)

• "But you can't get away from yourself. You can't decide not to see yourself anymore. You can't decide to turn off the noise in your head."

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories, Tim Burton (1997)

• "But she knows she has a curse on her,
• a curse she cannot win.
• For if someone gets too close to her,
• the pins stick farther in." (Voodoo Girl)

One Day, David Nicholls (2009)

• "'Live each day as if it's your last', that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to simply try and be good and courageous and bold and to make a difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Go out there with your passion and your electric typewriter and work hard at... something. Change lives through art maybe. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance."

Love Letters to the Dead, Ava Dellaira (2014)

• "And maybe what growing up really means is knowing that you don't have to be just a character, going whichever way the story says. It's knowing you could be the author instead."

The Shining, Stephen King (1977)

• "This inhuman place makes human monsters."

Misery, Stephen King (1987)

• "Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
• Art consists of the persistence of memory."

Pet Sematary, Stephen King (1983)

• "May be she’ll learn something about what death really is, which is where the pain stops and the good memories begin. Not the end of life but the end of pain."

Morangos Mofados, Caio Fernando Abreu (1982)

• "(...) e tudo que eu andava fazendo e sendo eu não queria que ele visse nem soubesse, mas depois de pensar isso me deu um desgosto porque fui percebendo, por dentro da chuva, que talvez eu não quisesse que ele soubesse que eu era eu, e eu era." (Além do Ponto)

Fragmentos, Caio Fernando Abreu (2008)

• "(...) você cresceu em mim de um jeito completamente insuspeitado, assim como se você fosse apenas uma semente e eu plantasse você esperando ver uma plantinha qualquer, pequena, rala, uma avenca, talvez samambaia, no máximo uma roseira, é, não estou sendo agressivo não, esperava de você apenas coisas assim, avenca, samambaia, roseira, mas nunca, em nenhum momento essa coisa enorme que me obrigou a abrir todas as janelas, e depois as portas, e pouco a pouco derrubar todas as paredes e arrancar o telhado para que você crescesse livremente" (Para Uma Avenca Que Está Partindo)

Chão de Vento, Flora Figueiredo (2005)

• "Aprendi a esperar. Se ventos são capazes de levar embora, a qualquer hora, também, são capazes de fazer voltar."

Pequenas Epifanias, Caio Fernando Abreu (1986)

• Sugestões Para Atravessar Agosto (sou incapaz de escolher um trecho que ame mais)

Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal, J. K. Rowling (1997)

• "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

Vida de Droga, Walcyr Carrasco (2002) Eu, Christiane F., 13 anos, Drogada, Prostituída..., Kai Hermann; Horst Rieck (1978)
