― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Say what you mean, but don't say it mean.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“So if you’re drowning, keep your life jacket on and fight. But once you’re able to swim, don’t convince yourself you forgot how to. Take your life jacket off, front-crawl your way to the shore, walk off that beach, and set your GPS to the top of a hill, because you WILL conquer the climb.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“From now on start asking yourself WHY you feel a certain way, WHAT made you perform a certain action, and HOW you could do things differently. The information you discover is powerful because it helps you to discover patterns and in turn use your mind productively and efficiently. After all, your mind is your most powerful tool, but it’s not useful if you don’t know how to use it. It’s like trying to fix a printer with a stapler: it doesn’t work. Trust me, I’ve tried.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Don't give up before you even try.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life

― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life

― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“I thoroughly believe in crying, yelling, pulling my hair out, and experiencing heartache, BUT once I'm done I dissect the pain and learn lessons from it.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Working hard feels good. Of course it’s exhausting and stressful and causes you to miss a party or two, but at the end of the day it is so rewarding. One of the best feelings in the world is when you know that luck didn’t play a role in your success. Doing work eliminates the need for luck. I’m not lucky, I just took the stairs. And you should too.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“A Bawse understands that there are many things in life you have no control over and it is inefficient to become frustrated by that reality.”

― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Mistakes don’t exist just to make us feel bad about ourselves; they are opportunities that we should not ignore or shy away from.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“The universe might respect the law of attraction, but it respects a good hustle even more.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Every little bit of stress you eliminate contributes to a more productive day. That’s not being a diva; it’s placing yourself in a situation that allows you to be in optimal form.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“I could reply with a middle-finger emoji, but that wouldn’t be very productive.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“The point is, don’t be afraid to ask for things. The worst that will happen is that you’ll be told no. Just remember to smile, stand tall, and look as adorable as possible.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“You’re standing in the middle of a blank piece of paper. Unleash your inner architect and design your path to success. Get wild, be creative, and don’t get distracted by the flow of traffic.
Traffic sucks anyway.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Pain is good. Heartache is good. These things will provide you with knowledge that will help you grow and deal with future struggles. To waste a painful moment and let emption overwhelm you so much that you gain absolutely no insight is to get hurt inefficiently.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“A bawse doens't just know what they want for Christmas; they know what they want from life.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life

― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Being active has nothing to do with being sexy, sculpting a six-pack, or fitting into a smaller size. It’s about making sure your body can keep up with your hustle.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“I would like to end by saying that there is enough room in this world for all of us to succeed. We all have what it takes to be the best version of ourselves. Sometimes our inner Bawse gets knocked down and discouraged, and that’s okay. That’s temporary. That doesn’t define you. Your strength is everlasting. You are the most powerful person in your life, and don’t you ever forget that you call the shots.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“represented a certain ideal. It’s our attachment to an idealized relationship that is hard to let go of. If your friend lied to you, if your lover cheated on you, or if someone simply decided they didn’t want to be in a relationship with you anymore, they are not right for you. It may feel like they are, even though they hurt you, but they aren’t. You know who is right for you? The person who is everything you love about your ex, except for the part that hurt you. There are 7 billion people on the planet, and it’s naive and scientifically ridiculous to believe that such a person does not exist.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Pain is good. Heartache is good. These things will provide you with knowledge that will help you grow and deal with future struggles. To waste a painful moment and let emotion overwhelm you so much that you gain absolutely no insight is to get hurt inefficiently, especially since you'll continue to encounter pain in life.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“The more details people know about you, the weaker you become.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“action is only meaningful if it’s consistent.”

“Give her hell from us, Peeves.”
― J.K. Rowling, quote from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
“Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
― Harper Lee, quote from To Kill a Mockingbird
“Her heart did whisper that he had done it for her.”

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.”

Sixpence House: Lost...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
