There already is a thread for quotes from books over here: rorysbookclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=226. I think that you can get a lot of good quotes (or at least inspiration) from the posts over there.

Two of my favorites:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww'" - On the Road - Jack Kerouac

"I met an old lady once, almost a hundred years old, and she told me, 'There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me, and Who's in charge?'" - Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
