“All I'm trying to tell you is to be strong. Don't ever let nothing get you down. Don't be afraid or ashamed to love, or to grieve when the thing you love is gone. Just don't let it throw you, no matter how much it hurts.”
― Patrick D. Smith, quote from A Land Remembered

“I think of Sean folded low over the red stallion, riding bareback at the top of the cliffs. Of the easy way they had with each other when I met him to look at the uisce mare. I think, even, of the way Sean looked when he stood on the bloody festival rock and said his name, and then Corr's, like it was just one fact after the other. Of the way he said "the sky and the sand and the sea and Corr" to me. And I feel a bite of unfairness, because in everything but name, it seems to me that Sean Kendrick already owns Corr.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, quote from The Scorpio Races
“And I have two eyes. I’ve seen that little melodrama play out between you and that other tracker. Fish? Flounder? What’s his name?”

“أيها الشيطان التعس، ألا تعلم أن الرب لا يوجد في الأديرة بل في منازل البشر؟! انك حيثما تجد زوجاً وزوجة تجد هناك الرب، حيثما يوجد الأطفال والهموم الصغيرة والطبخ والمناقشات والمصالحات يوجد أيضاً الرب! لا تنصت الي أولئك الخصيان، انهم عنب حامض، الرب الذي أعنيه هو الأليف وليس الديري، هذا هو الرب الحقيقي! انه هو الجدير بعبادتك. دع الرب الآخر لأولئك البلهاء الكسالي العقيمين القابعين في الصحراء ... اذن فبغيتك الصحراء، أنت أيضا شهيتك مفتوحة لسف الرمال، أليس كذلك؟ ولكن أليست لك عينان يا ولدي الرائع؟ ألا تري كروم العنب والشمس والنساء؟ هيا اسمع كلامي، هيا الي مجدلة، هناك مكانك الصحيح! ألم تقرأ مرة الكتب المقدسة؟ الرب يقول: "لا أريد صوماً وصلاة، أريد لحماً" بعبارة أخري انه يريد منك أن تنجب له أطفالاً!”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from The Last Temptation of Christ
“But to this Orc-work such a life as we lead has brought us. Lawless and fruitless all our deeds have been, serving only ourselves, and feeding hate in our hearts.”

“Nor was Israel’s historic claim to the land impressive; to Cullinane it was irrelevant. Once a man started opening the historical-rights barrel of eels, no one could predict where the slippery evidence might run.”

The Fairy-Tale Detec...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.
