TOP TEN TUESDAY: Inspiring Quotes

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

The theme this week is the Top Ten Inspiring Quotes From Books.

Most of these quotes are ones that I had liked on goodreads. The rest are ones that I found to complete the "top ten." I'm probably forgetting some, but these are it for now.

And if this is humanity's last war, then I am the battlefield.” - The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
