Children's and YA books are about being brave and kind, about learning wisdom and love, about that journey into and through maturity that we all keep starting, and starting again, no matter how old we get. I think that's why so many adults read YA: we're never done coming of age. ~ Betsy Cornwell
Young Adult Books quotes by Betsy Cornwell
I usually give a book 40 pages. If it doesn't grab me by then, adios. With young adult books, you can usually tell by Page 4 if it's worth the time. The author establishes the conflict early, sometimes in the first sentence. The themes of hope, family, friendship and overcoming hardship appeal to most everyone. ~ Regina Brett
Young Adult Books quotes by Regina Brett
New Adult is a label that is condescending to readers and authors alike. It implies that the books act as training wheels between Young Adult and Adult. For the New Adult books that are particularly childish, the label implies that they are a step above Young Adult
which is insulting to the Young Adult books that are far superior. For the New Adult books that are particularly sophisticated, the label implies that they are not worthy of being considered "adult." It's a lose-lose situation for everyone.
[ ... ]
Therefore, the new genre of New Adult is a large step backwards. It increases the system of categories and labels even further, and prevents readers from expanding their horizons and minds. The term is reductive and it is insulting to its own audience. ~ Lauren Sarner
Young Adult Books quotes by Lauren Sarner
Teachers and librarians can be the most effective advocates for diversifying children's and young adult books. When I speak to publishers, they're going to expect me to say that I would love to see more books by Native American authors and African-American authors and Arab-American authors. But when a teacher or librarian says this to publishers, it can have a profound effect. ~ Pat Mora
Young Adult Books quotes by Pat Mora
It's true that when you read YA you rarely have to read about middle-aged men having affairs. Personally I consider that a plus. ~ Erin Bow
Young Adult Books quotes by Erin Bow
Remember, there were dragons long before men came into the world. Why, it was none other than The Great Dragons of Yore who invented the idea of knighthood. Yes, yes, that's right! Dragons had knights, Kings, princesses and queens long before men crawled out of the muck. ~ Sully Tarnish
Young Adult Books quotes by Sully Tarnish
Be strong. He whispered. Be kind. Be hopeful. He bent down and kissed her forehead.

And be fierce. ~ Kiersten White
Young Adult Books quotes by Kiersten White
R is for Riverdale. Relatable. Right Stuff. Ravishing. ~ Mark Waid
Young Adult Books quotes by Mark Waid
I'm so sorry about all you're going through, but I'm not sorry that it brought you to me. ~ Lisa Brown Roberts
Young Adult Books quotes by Lisa Brown Roberts
I jolt up, a scream lodged in my throat. Drops of sweat roll down my forehead and my throat hurts as if I've been screaming for a long time. ~ Ashley Earley
Young Adult Books quotes by Ashley Earley
I knew that it was impossible for us to be kept apart for too long. ~ Erica Sehyun Song
Young Adult Books quotes by Erica Sehyun Song
There is no law stronger than that of
magic. - Kian ~ Kailin Gow
Young Adult Books quotes by Kailin Gow
I never thought I would die at the age of seventeen, so when I received the death message, I was a little freaked out. ~ Rebekkah Ford
Young Adult Books quotes by Rebekkah Ford
When the finally pulled apart, Rishi's mouth tingling still, Dimple smiled shyly and looked down at their hands, entwined between them on the bench. "So," she said softly. "That was unexpected."

He leaned over and kissed her forehead, like it was the most natural thing to do. Was this going to be their thing now, casual kissing? He hoped so. "Unexpected but awesome." Rishi paused. "Right?"

She laughed and looked up at him. "Definitely."

He grinned, his heart soaked in happy. ~ Sandhya Menon
Young Adult Books quotes by Sandhya Menon
I wish I had this book when I was a kid--a book on a shelf that came from someone of this background and made me feel that my voice was relevant. ~ Elaine Del Valle
Young Adult Books quotes by Elaine Del Valle
But do you think our futures are already determined for us?"
"Why are you asking all of this? What's going on?"
I let out a small laugh. "Remember when we were in the hallway?" He nodded. "Well, Thirteen tried telling me that I couldn't escape my fate and that there was no point in fighting the inevitable."
"Do you think it is inevitable?" he asked.
"Me?" I scoffed. "No. Nothing is ever guaranteed. One minor adjustment can alter everything. Nothing is ever set in stone. As of right now, we're all on one path: we're all stuck inside of this hell that we're trying to escape, and it may seem like the outcome has already been determined for us, but it hasn't. The smallest of things could change everything. A death. Deception. Anything could force us to follow another path, and you know what? We determine that path, not fate."
"What path do you see yourself on?" Colton hopped up onto the computer desk, tucking his hands underneath his thighs.
"I see us starting new lives outside of this place, far from McVeigh and his men," I answered honestly. "But I know not all of us will make it out of here. There is still more pain to come our way, but there is also happiness if we allow for it. ~ Nicole Sobon
Young Adult Books quotes by Nicole Sobon
When the masses are against you, when fear is on every side, and when it seems like you are standing alone, that is when you should stand the tallest. That is when you plant yourself like a mountain, and you do what your heart knows is right. Even if death will be your only reward. ~ Ammar Habib
Young Adult Books quotes by Ammar Habib
Phin, history is filled with false realities. If we stopped at what we know to be true, we'll never discover that it's actually false. The Earth would still be flat. -Ethan Cottington, Memoir of a Mermaid Book #1 ~ Adrianna Stepiano
Young Adult Books quotes by Adrianna Stepiano
As I was escorted outside by the officers, my friends looked back at me with blank expressions. I don't think they knew what to say to me. I had lied to them about my home life. They had always been there for me and probably would have understood if I had told them the truth from the start, but it was too late. All the lies I had told them about having a perfect family had been shattered by that one incident. ~ Jen Naumann
Young Adult Books quotes by Jen Naumann
Evil is just . . . so harsh. I prefer ethically unfettered. ~ Jessica Minyard
Young Adult Books quotes by Jessica Minyard
I was a wildflower that would continue to grow in the most unexpected weather. ~ Taisha DeAza
Young Adult Books quotes by Taisha DeAza
Meg," he whispered. "It wouldn't be real love if there weren't the possibility for another response to him. If we couldn't choose not to love him, then our love would be empty. That's why there's evil in this world, because there's free choice in this world. He allows the one to prove the other. ~ Laura Anderson Kurk
Young Adult Books quotes by Laura Anderson Kurk
Don't discount intuition. It holds more wisdom than technology can ever afford ~ Jack C. Monroe
Young Adult Books quotes by Jack C. Monroe

Young Adult Books quotes by Public Library Association
An act of kindness, be it a sweet word, or a supporting hand, is never wasted upon those with nothing in the world - Konjic ~ Rehan Khan
Young Adult Books quotes by Rehan Khan
There is no such thing as helplessness. It's just another word for giving up. ~ Jefferson Smith
Young Adult Books quotes by Jefferson Smith
Do not rob yourself of happiness.
Do not hold yourself hostage.
Do not miss out on living a well-fulfilled life.
Life is supposed to be lived - each day is progress. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Books quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Tragedy often gives birth to courage, it offers man a platform to change what will be.
Eli Storm, Emanuel Stone And The Phoenix Shadow ~ Isaac Solomon
Young Adult Books quotes by Isaac Solomon
The hairs on my arms stood up like meerkats on the lookout for danger. ~ J.F. Rogers
Young Adult Books quotes by J.F. Rogers
Babies learn most of what they know from interactions with their parents, but not of the formal, instructional variety. Babies learn from spontaneous, everyday events
the mailman at the door with a package to open ... all of which need adult interpretation. They are real events of interest and concern to babies and young children ... By contrast, infant education is artificial and out of context. ~ Sandra Scarr
Young Adult Books quotes by Sandra Scarr
Better to live life not expecting anything from anyone. That way you'll never be upset when they let you down - Will ~ Rehan Khan
Young Adult Books quotes by Rehan Khan
You could lose the ones you loved in the blink of an eye - and he was willing to bet, when it happened, you weren't thinking about all the reasons that could have kept you apart. You thought of all the reasons that kept you together.
And, no doubt, how you wished you'd had more time. Even if you'd had centuries ...
When you were young, you thought time was a burden, something to be discharged as fast as possible so you could be grown-up. But it was such a bait-n-switch - when you were an adult, you came to realize that minutes and hours were the single most precious thing you had.
No one got forever. And it was a fucking crime to waste what you were given. ~ J.R. Ward
Young Adult Books quotes by J.R. Ward
He carried her over the Owl Creek mountain range without stopping," he said, quietly this time. "He carried her until he reached one of the hot springs around what became Chapin, and then he walked into the water with her and held her there for three days. He had about given up when she opened her eyes and whispered his name. ~ Laura Anderson Kurk
Young Adult Books quotes by Laura Anderson Kurk
Anyone can see what's right in front of them, but it's subtle beauty, the kind that takes time to discover, that you have to uncover and dust off, that catches my eye. I find things with cracks and flaws and textures so much more interesting than something polished and perfect and pristine. It's the same way with people. ~ Katie Kacvinsky
Young Adult Books quotes by Katie Kacvinsky
Aspirations are useless, because to aspire, is to reach. Dream, they say, but not too big. Laugh, they say, but not too loudly. Love, they say, but not too hard. ~ Logan Keys
Young Adult Books quotes by Logan Keys
The wind swoops over the tenements on Orchard Street, where some of those starry-eyed dreams have died and yet other dreams are being born into squalor and poverty, an uphill climb. It gives a slap to the laundry stretched on lines between tenements, over dirty, broken streets where, even at this hour, hungry children scour the bins for food. The wind has existed forever. It has seen much in this country of dreams and soap ads, old horrors and bloodshed. It has played mute witness to its burning witches, and has walked along a Trail of Tears; it has seen the slave ships release their human cargo, blinking and afraid, into the ports, their only possession a grief they can never lose. ~ Libba Bray
Young Adult Books quotes by Libba Bray
When I was young and growing up in New York, my parents took me to children's theater quite often - elaborate presentations of 'Goldilocks' and 'Rapunzel' for Upper East Side kids. As I grew older, they took me to adult theater, mostly musicals. ~ Peter Coyote
Young Adult Books quotes by Peter Coyote
Even though we don't admit it, every single one of us aspires to be like somebody, whether they live in the world today, within the bard's lyrics, or on the pages in the Library ~ Evan Meekins
Young Adult Books quotes by Evan Meekins
I remember being on the edge of seventeen, that dangerous time between childhood and young adult when the cement is still wet in your mind. That part of your life where things get stuck and form who you are forever, liked or not. Offhand comments, distant laughter, anything a boy's fragile ego could mistake for a slight on the kind of man he will one day become. There is never a time in your life when love is so sweet, or pain cuts so deep, or when memory is so undeniably carved in stone. ~ John Goode
Young Adult Books quotes by John  Goode
It felt really good to do something that made no sense at all. ~ Emily M. Danforth
Young Adult Books quotes by Emily M. Danforth
I am still bowled over by this great young adult novel by David Levithan called 'Every Day,' which is about a character with no gender or body who wakes up every day in the body of a different person. It's a really impressive execution of a really great premise. ~ John Green
Young Adult Books quotes by John Green
Adult novels are as ephemeral as newspapers. Children's books stay in print for decades. ~ Sid Fleischman
Young Adult Books quotes by Sid Fleischman
So as near as I could tell the end of the world began roughly about the time that Billy Carver's butt rang about halfway through the War of 1812. ~ Steve Vernon
Young Adult Books quotes by Steve Vernon
I put on a show of confidence as often as I could, but inside, I was a befuddled mess. I secretly wished my mother would live forever. - Merrick Delmar ~ Heidi Peltier
Young Adult Books quotes by Heidi Peltier
I get really flowery and verbose in my adult books, but I don't think I dumb down my Y.A. It's just cleaner and more snappy. And the adult books have multiple points-of-view. In my Y.A., it's always third person from the main character's perspective. ~ Gail Carriger
Young Adult Books quotes by Gail Carriger
I am not going to keep yearning for the wrong kind of attention. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Books quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Have you lost your mind? What have I told you Charlie about whales? You can't MANHANDLE THEM! ~ Erica Sehyun Song
Young Adult Books quotes by Erica Sehyun Song
Ashlinn was lovely to look upon, someone who could easily snub half of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood and break the hearts of the rest. ~ Calista Lynne
Young Adult Books quotes by Calista Lynne
She smiled the most extraordinary smile and Egg knew his life would never be the same again. ~ Jamie Scallion
