One of the best parts about reading books is the phrases and quotes they contain. These words hold so much power—they make you stop and think. The more you reflect, the wiser you become.
The sayings that inspire you or evoke emotions stay with you long after. For instance, I may have forgotten the plot of a book I read last March, but I still remember that particular passage at the end, the one that resonated with me and helped me through difficult times.
So, I’ve compiled some of my favorite quotes from fantasy books that make me feel powerful. I hope they offer you some strength too.
- You’ve been attacked, violated, tormented, left on the streets to starve. The odds you ace are impossible. If you continue down this path, you’ll die. Why won’t you just give up?” She stared. Was that a thing people did—just gave up? When there was so much in the world to love, to fight for? “I cannot,” she said fiercely. “I never will.”
Book – Sorcery of thorns
From one of my favorite books, this one hits hard every time. How often we tend to give up on our goals when faced with constant hurdles? Even though there’s so much in the world worth fighting for, we sometimes forget what truly matters. Your goals and dreams are valuable enough. Don’t just give up.
2. This world, it breathes you in, sniffs, it knows you, and then it breathes you out again, shares you. You’re not contained here in this single place alone. The wind, time, it circles, repeats, teaches, reveals, some swaths cutting deeper than others. The universe knows. The universe has a long memory.
Book series – The Remnant Chronicles
This quote feels like a gentle caress on your face. Take a deep breath and read this one under an open sky, with the wind blowing over your face, it feels meditative.
3. That was something else I’d thought about as I stood on the Rise overnight after preparing myself for the inevitable. I thought about my future. Who I used to be, who I was becoming, and who I wanted to be. And it was strange how revelations felt like they happened all of a sudden, but in reality, it took many small, almost indiscernible moments over the course of weeks, months, and years. Bottom line, I knew I didn’t want to be someone who hid anymore, whether behind a veil, to others, or to myself.
Book series- From blood and Ash
The moment you decide to face your fears and insecurities, instead of hiding behind them, and work on them, you discover a new version of yourself. It feels like freedom. This passage is all about that.
4. She was the heir of ash and fire, and she would bow to no one.
Book- Heir of fire
Some self-confidence boost for bothersome days.
5. Heroes aren’t always the ones who win. They’re the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don’t give up. That’s what makes them heroes.
Book series – The Dark Artifices
Failures don’t define your potential, but what you learn from them and what you do afterward does. That’s what makes heroes.
Be your own hero and keep going!
6. We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.
Book- The Infernal Devices
The comfort and warmth of these words will you strength.
7. Better terrible truths than kind lies.

Nothing hurts more than sugar-coated lies. It’s better to be careful of that.
8. Anything worth doing always starts as a bad idea.
Book series – The Grisha Trilogy
It’s your hard work and dedication that turns it good.
9. For these were not ordinary books the libraries kept. They were knowledge, given life. Wisdom, given voice. They sang when starlight streamed through the library’s windows. They felt pain and suffered heartbreak. Sometimes they were sinister, grotesque—but so was the world outside. And that made the world no less worth fighting for, because wherever there was darkness, there was also so much light. This was Elisabeth’s purpose. Not to become a warden in the hopes of proving herself to people who would never understand. She wasn’t a wielder of chains; she was a breaker of them. She was the library’s will made flesh.
Book- Sorcery of thorns
There is always light at the end of the tunnel. There is always a way. Go break rules or make your own, just follow your heart and learn.
10. Every choice has a long afterlife of consequences. No one can know the eventual outcome of any decision. All you can do is make the best choice you can make in the moment.”
Book series – The Dark Artifices
Go make those decisions, and get to your goals. If you fail then you can learn from your mistakes and go ahead with an experience!
