“Pray that God is the most important thing in your life, so much so that hurting him wold hurt you. When that happens, and your choices line up with his, it produces an amazing ripple effect of blessings--in your life, that of your family, and for the man you eventually marry.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Denied
“But the irony is that unless God's in the center of it, you can get singed pretty badly. ”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Denied
“The moon hung heavy over the lake like an overripe orange, trickling its golden stream of light across inky depths.”

“[T]welve year old Libby O'Shea coasted on a homemade swing, toes touching a blinding-blue heaven dolloped with clouds.”

“She sighed. "I don't know, Father, how do you get over someone who's held your heart in their hands for so long? And what do you do when they constantly turn your love away, leaving you battered and bruised?" A sob broke free from her throat to pierce the darkness.
His arm stiffened, paralyzed over her shoulder.
Marcy's voice rose, quiet and strong, to counter her daughter's pain. "You run to the arms of the Almighty, Lizzie. 'Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.' That's the only place our hearts are safe, the only place they can heal.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Denied

“But then it came to her…just change your mind about it. About everything. Shit. That was it. "What an idiot she was. It was that simple. Just decide to stop struggling and embrace it all as a gift. And in a single second, everything is different.”

“I know the feeling When you cry alone Your ego keeps you alive But your heart wants to die Every second you wish For the world to stop”

“Начнем с того, что, на мой взгляд, только люди могут отделить сон от грез наяву. Будь ты львенком, медузой или папоротником — ты не отличишь бодрствование от сна. Мне кажется, что еще несколько тысяч лет назад люди тоже так считали. А потом появился человек, который разрушил замкнутый круг и раскрыл разницу между двумя мирами. Несколько сотен лет люди свыкались с мыслью, что жизнь наяву и мечта — две совершенно разные вещи. И этого бы не случилось без того, первого «Джереми».
А после произошло еще кое-что. Имея представление о мире мечты и реальной жизни, мы еще не подозревали о прошлом, настоящем и будущем. Был день, снова день, и день за ним.
завтра = вчера = сегодня = то же самое = всегда
Наверняка не обошлось без первопроходца, который совершил основополагающий скачок, — того, кто рассказал остальным о существовании места, где нас нет и где все не так, как мы привыкли. Из-за мысли о будущем жизнь людей изменилась. Их потомки стали жить по-другому, лучше. Мы научились прилагать ум к действию и усовершенствовали способы выполнения задач. И это людям открыл такой же человек, как Джереми.
А потом пришел еще кто-то и рассказал нашим предкам, что существуют не только жизнь и смерть, а еще и жизнь после смерти. Вещатель, Джереми. Мой сын был рожден сказителем, и теперь он решил переложить свою задачу на меня.”
― Douglas Coupland, quote from Eleanor Rigby
“If your employees, including your CEO, wish to give to their alma maters or other institutions to which they feel a personal attachment, we believe they should use their own money, not yours.”
― Warren Buffett, quote from Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders
“You know, when I came home after our day in the city, I just crashed, thinking about Remi and how much I missed him. And then the next day was worse, And when you walked up to me at that ice cream machine, I just felt myself crumble inside. Around Remi, I felt like I was always trying to act like I was good enough. But around you, I don't want to pretend or hide. That's why I didn't say anything in the cafeteria that day, I knew that in five seconds, I'd be crying on your shoulder."
"That's what it's there for, Ethan."
Alek leaned in, took Ethan's face in his hands, and kissed him.”

Celebrating Silence:...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.
