There are so MANY good quotes from books. Here's one I really like:
“My dear father, when one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.”
(from an Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, chapter or act 4, Lord Goring speaking.)

"I'm missing what I don't have." From The Blue Sword, by Robin Mckinley.
It may not seem special to anyone, but when I read it, it made me cry. It's exactly what I've been thinking for a long time.
