There are SOO many good ones. One that comes to mind with all the talk about the new movie “whatever our souls are made of. His and mine are the same” (Brontë)

“If she must grow roots, she would rather be left to flourish wild instead of pruned, would rather stand alone, allowed to grow beneath the open sky. Better that than firewood, cut down just to burn in someone else’s hearth.”—The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab Also “‘But isn’t it wonderful,’ she says, ‘to be an idea?’”—Same book
