A Thousand Books That Will Save a Life

John Green (An Abundance of Katherines)

Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events: Bad Beginning)

Lewis Carroll (The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland) 

“If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn’t be filled?”

“In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn; color your hair; watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five.
In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world; or you can just jump off it” 

- Jodi Picoult (Nineteen Minutes)

Okay firstly this is an amazing novel and I would reccomend it to each every single person on this planet, and secondly I was having a hard time deciding between quotes so I chose two.

“I hope you’re ready, because I’m about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you’re listening to these tapes, you’re one of the reasons why.”

“You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything… affects everything.”

- Jay Asher  (Thirteen Reasons Why) 

” No matter where I look inside myself, I come accross more love for him, for everything about him, his anger as much as his tenderness - he’s so alive, he makes me feel like I could take a bite out of the whole earth. If only words hadn’t eluded me today, if only I yelled back at him: I do get it! I get that as long as I live no one will ever love you as much as I do - I have a heart so I can give it to you alone! That’s exactly the way I feel - but unfortunately, people don’t talk like that outside of Victorian novels.”

- Jandy Nelson (The Sky Is Everywhere)

  Suzanne Collins  (The Hunger Games)

” I wanted to be one of those people who have streaks to maintain, who scorch the ground with their intensity. But for now at least I knew such people, and they needed me, just like comets need tails. “

- John Green (Looking For Alaska)
