“Do other mothers behold their newborn sons as I did? Do they all find themselves stopped, breathless, in what they were doing to merely stare, in wonder, at the tiny life before them?”
― Elizabeth C. Bunce, quote from A Curse Dark as Gold
“Rose unearthed three crystal goblets that almost matched, and even found a tablecloth that hadn't been attacked by moths since its last public appearance.”
― Elizabeth C. Bunce, quote from A Curse Dark as Gold
“Paddy Eagan, stay away from falling signs for a bit and you'll be as right as rain come the weekend.”
― Elizabeth C. Bunce, quote from A Curse Dark as Gold
“Although I did point out that even the innumerable charms of Delight would be long exhausted by the end of our fortnight, he merely laughed and said I didn't understand the purpose of a honeymoon. And, indeed, he was quite convincing about that; and all I shall record here is that we missed both breakfast and the luncheon buffet at the hotel our first day, and that I came to understand why so many young wives produce children three-quarters of a year after their weddings.”
― Elizabeth C. Bunce, quote from A Curse Dark as Gold
“A curse you can't do much about, but find way to break it. Luck, though-- lass, you make your own luck.”
― Elizabeth C. Bunce, quote from A Curse Dark as Gold
“Great courage, indeed. It had to do with more than breaking curses. It meant taking risks and giving your heart into the care of a stranger, Why must I nearly lose everything to learn that?”

“Causes have a way of tainting your reason until a person takes much bigger risks than sanity would otherwise allow.”
― Brandon Mull, quote from Keys to the Demon Prison
“Yet experience has taught me that fate is sometimes cruel and that even a boatload of hope is sometimes not enough.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from The Longest Ride
“Really," said Winifred suddenly; "it almost seems like Fate. Only that's so old-fashioned.”
― John Galsworthy, quote from The Forsyte Saga
“Sunflowers and seashells and logarithmic spirals (said Kerewin); sweep of galaxies and the singing curve of the universe (said Kerewin); the oscilating wave thrumming in the nothingness of every atom’s heart (said Kerewin); did you think I could build a square house? So the round shell house holds them all in its spiralling embrace. Noise and riot, peace and quiet, all is music in this sphere.”
― Keri Hulme, quote from The Bone People
“If as we see nightfall, we become capable of accepting love,
let’s celebrate an alliance with our unbroken delusions.
Who ever knew we would say goodbye to oblivion? Who ever knew we would accept hope?”

Memnoch the DevilBookQuoters 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.
