This one was my favourite quote from the book There's a Rooster in my Bathroom

"No matter how bad things are, you’ve got to go on living, even if it kills you,” by Sholen Aleichem.

I found the juxtaposition of both living and killing in the sentence a great play

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
I loved this quote because it's inspiring, and in a way encourages us to think big.

I thought this one was great too! I really made you stop and think, am I setting my aim too low? I think in a lot of ways we do this, and having someone point it out to us is an eye-opener!

Picking my favorite quote from the book is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The two quotes that come to mind

"We all have meaning for other people, and we need to do a stronger job of protecting that and recognizing that." This quote is so important. We have to first of all know or recognize the meaning or reason why others are in our lives then we would be able to protect it.

"No matter how bad things are, you’ve got to go on living, even if it kills you,” I can't recall who said this but it is the truth. There are times when I have felt like giving but I tell my things along the lines.

“Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day.” - Franz Liszt

I like this quote because it serves as an important reminder to chase our dreams or at least attempt to do so - otherwise, we might feel regret for the rest of our lives.

“Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day.” Franz Liszt

I love this quote it really resonated with me. I like how the other added the importance of keeping an open mind and simplifying life. An open mind Is the key to not missing chances.

“No matter how bad things are, you’ve got to go on living, even if it kills you”

This is it for me, it reminds me to keep pushing and never give up.

“No matter how bad things are, you’ve got to go on living, even if it kills you,” was my favourite quote because it made me remember the hard times of my life and what I learnt from it.

Lesson learned: there are diamonds in the rough that don’t exactly pop out like diamonds at first glance, but you need to hang in to uncover the jewel. That applies to people, as well. Location 350.

Sometimes, we need patience to let people grow into us and discover their unique beauty and value.

I think this is a valuable statement about perspective, and goes back to the author's point about how "we all have meaning for each other and need to recognize it and protect it." We need to get used to people and see what they have to offer ourselves and others, and how they contribute to the greater good as a whole, instead of just judging them at first glance.

I found this so humbling and it brought me so much joy. It would be great if we were to be our own competion, instead of plotting now to take everyone down and stand on them.

"To truly become great, one has to stand with the people, not above them". - Charles de Montesquieu

“People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had.”
― A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

The power of love washed over me as soon as I read this line. Love is a phenomenal feeling that completes you even though the rest of the world is against you. But when you lose it, you end up losing a whole piece of yourself, and there is nothing much you can do to fill this void. In my eyes, it was both delightful and tragic at the moment.

"we all have meaning for other people, and we need to do a stronger job of protecting that and recognizing that"
I liked this one very much. It is more open to have different meanings.

My favorite quote was Charles de Montesquieu's "To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them." This quote resonated with me because the most effective way to inspire change is to actively listen to others and know when to provide support so that everyone can shine.

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." - Michaelangelo

This quote resonates with me deeply. I'm a human who often experiences bouts of imposter syndrome. I tend to aim low because I know that I can achieve 100% of a low goal. Taking a chance and failing is intimidating. However, I would ultimately rather set my aim too high and fail than never push myself to grow.

I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. My favorite quote from the book is When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive-to breath, to think, to enjoy, to love." -Marcus Aurelius. This quote reminds me that life is precious.

That is also my favourite quote from the. We have a meaning in people's life that we may know and sometimes not.
