“Sometimes even now I entertain the hope that Love lives in the world independently of us, but when I am most courageous, I believe that love was born within the human heart, and that the survival of love in the world, as well as its ultimate triumph, is entirely our responsibility.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“I trusted her not to be careless with my heart or with my feelings. I trusted her to understand and to accept what might be broken or imperfect. In some dusty corner there may be things I tossed away, forgotten, things that might once have shamed me. I trusted her with those things too. I trusted her to accept me as she found me and to love me as I was, as I loved her.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“Before I loved Maara, life seemed filled with endless possibility, yet I knew even then what I was waiting for. Love was only an idea to me then, something to hope for, a promise of happiness, insubstantial and immortal, until it found the one to settle on. Now love and Maara were one and the same, and love had become as mortal as she was.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“It is true that a little nudge from you has moved the world, but when that happens, the world was already inclined to move.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“If my love for Maara depended on her love for me, it was not love, but a bargain.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“It seemed to me a wicked tale, to blame a woman for men's folly.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“This was how she saw the world. It could take from her in a moment everything she loved. It could deny her anything she wanted. The world had granted me almost my every wish, and none more precious to me than this one. The world had granted her only this.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“Aamah would sometimes remind them that the story of an old disputte should be retold only when no aftertaste of bitterness remains upon the tongue.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“A woman counsels caution, while a man's heart burns to see justice done.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“Will your woman's heart endanger us?" he asked me. "Tell me now."
"What does my woman's heart have to do with anything?”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“What is it that we search for? Every child knows the answer. We search for love. Love is our shelter. Love is our purpose. Love is why we are here.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale

AtemschaukelBookQuoters 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.
