Children\u2019s books are a fascinating blend of simplicity and life lessons. They\u2019re like security blankets \u2014\u00a0all warm and fuzzy on the outside, but deeply symbolic on the inside. They can be funny, touching, deep, dark, poignant, or charming, but in the end, they\u2019re just the books we love. That\u2019s why they so often stay with us well into adulthood.<\/p>\n

For me, the best part of children\u2019s books are the memorable quotes that encapsulate an entire book in a sentence or two. No one will ever agree on the \u201cbest\u201d quotes, but here are some of my favorites!<\/p>\n
