This thread was inspired by Manbearpig's film quote thread. It has the similar idea; share quotes from any books, short stories, etc. that you find interesting.
------------------------

I'll start with the (great, and highly recommended) book I am currently reading: Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin.

"But the truth is, feelings don't change anything. To change something, you have to say things out loud. Do things. Take chances. Take a stand."

"I can't blame you for trying to categorize me. It's a human instinct. It's why scientists are, to this day, completely flabbergasted by the duck-billed platypus: it's furry like a mammal, but lays eggs like a bird. It defies conventional classification.
I am the platypus."

"There arent any words for how I feel because all the words were made up by people who never felt like this."
