There is no one answer to this question since everyone will have different opinions on what makes a good quote. However, here are a few general tips to keep in mind when looking for quotes for your book:

-Look for quotes that are relevant to the theme or topics of your book.
-Try to find quotes that are meaningful and insightful, rather than simply memorable or popular.
-Avoid using quotes that are too long or convoluted; something short and poignant is often more effective.
-Make sure the source of the quote is reputable and credible.

With that said, here are a few places to look for quotes that might be suitable for your book:

-Quotations from famous authors or historical figures that relate to your subject matter.
-Passages from other books that you feel are particularly relevant or well-written.
-Extracts from speeches, interviews, or articles that offer insight into your topic.
-Inspirational quotes that provide motivation or a positive message.
