A taste of the collection
A few passages added by readers — the collection grows every day.
"You are your own law, so you'll be your own judge."
Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case. (Ch 1)
Happiness and suffering, however extreme, are mental events. The mind depends upon the body, and the body upon the world, but everything good or bad that happens in your life must appear in consciousness to matter. This fact offers ample opportunity to make the best of bad situations—changing your perception of the world is often as good as changing the world—but it also allows a person to be miserable even when all the material and social conditions for happiness have been met. During the normal course of events, your mind will determine the quality of your life.

Why is Leafy Quotes free?
Because good lines should travel. This site was built out of love for books, not for ads — we keep it running ourselves and sell no one's attention here.
Our mission is to get people reading — a quote is often the best book recommendation there is.
A shared collection should be open to everyone, whatever their budget.
Frequently asked questions
Got another question? Write to us — we build this site together with its readers.
Do I need an account to read?
No, the whole collection is open. Every quote, author and book has a public page you can read without signing in — an account is only needed to add passages of your own.
How do I add my own quote?
The composer walks through three steps: pick the book from the catalogue, type the passage, and give the page it came from. After a moderator's review it joins the shared collection.
Where do the covers and portraits come from?
Covers are shown for informational purposes, promoting the books they belong to. Author portraits carry their source and licence — you will find both under the icon next to every photo.
Can I report a mistake in a quote?
Yes, and we will be grateful. Write to us and we will fix the passage or its attribution — getting a quote right matters more here than how fast the collection grows.
Is there a mobile app?
The app is on the App Store for iOS and on Google Play for Android. It shows the same collection and adds quotes exactly the way the website does.
