I used to hate quotes,
But then I realized I only hate the stupid ones.
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? -Alice and Wonderland (Alice)
"I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool..."- The Great Gatsby (Daisy)
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."-Henry David Thoreau- In "Walden"
"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something." -Henry David Thoreau
"To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea." -Henry David Thoreau

I have a billion Thoreau quotes that make me swoon, but I'll keep those at a minimum.
.................
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.- Dr. Seuss
I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are. I really hope they are.- Perks of being a wallflower. (Charlie)
"Then I turned around and walked to my room and closed my door and put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be."- Perks of Being a Wallflower (Charlie)
I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.- Perks of being a wallflower (Charlie)
.................
There are a billion quoteables in "Perks of Being a Wallflower" If you have never read it, do so. I'd write more of the quotes, but I'd rather you go read the book.

"Stranded in this mill town railroad yard while the whole world was converging elsewhere, we seemed to be nothing but children playing among heroic men"- A Separate Peace (Gene)
"I lost part of myself to him then, and a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first: to become a part of Phineas"- A Separate Peace (Gene)
"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience." -Thomas Merton
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh," he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."" - Winnie The Pooh
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.- Winnie the Pooh
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
