Literature is amazing. They tell great stories and the words on the page are able to explain what the reader or author could not express in words. This is what makes books so relatable to people; the ability to understand what the author means by the way they wrote it. 

Often readers are able to remember an important quote from their favorite book, or just something that stuck out to them in what they have read. Here are some of the best (or my favorite at least) literary quotes of all time.
