“I think of life as very much like a game. The one who created it gave us the rules by which it is to be played, rules designed to help us win, rules to help us be happy. The problem is many times we choose to play by our own rules, and then we’re at a loss to understand why we never win.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Most Pure
“Because, my dear, God is love. Not just maternal or fraternal love but romantic love as well. Song of Solomon was written to show what the love between a husband and a wife should be, but it was also written to emulate the depth of feeling and love God has for each of us. As intense and wonderful as this young man’s kiss made you feel, more so is the passion and love God has for you. No, your feelings aren’t wrong, but perhaps the timing is.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Most Pure
“For years he had possessed her dreams, but she'd been the master of those dreams. Now, he possessed her memory, and there was nothing she could do about it.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Most Pure
“It was not a day to remember; it was a day to forget...the memory of it could not pass soon enough.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Most Pure
“The warmth was pushed aside, as always, by the cold grip of reality.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Most Pure
“After years of pining over something she could never have, she would choose to embrace the cold comfort of reality instead. No more daydreams of his smile, no more journal entries with his name, no more prayers for the impossible. She would not allow it.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Passion Most Pure

“Aldous Huxley is known today primarily as the author of the novel
Brave New World. He was one of the first prominent Americans to publicly
endorse the use of psychedelic drugs. Controversial political theorist Lyndon
Larourche called Huxley “the high priest for Britain’s opium war,” and
claimed he played a conspicuous role in laying the groundwork for the
Sixties counterculture. Huxley’s grandfather was Thomas H. Huxley, founder
of the Rhodes Roundtable and a longtime collaborator with establishment
British historian Arnold Toynbee. Toynbee headed the Research Division
of British Intelligence during World War II, and was a briefing officer to
Winston Churchill. Aldous Huxley was tutored at Oxford by novelist H.
G. Wells, a well-known advocate of world government. Expounding in his
“Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution,” Wells wrote, “The
Open Conspiracy will appear first, I believe, as a conscious organization of
intelligent and quite possibly in some cases, wealthy men, as a movement
having distinct social and political aims. . . . In all sorts of ways they will
be influencing and controlling the apparatus of the ostensible government.”
Wells introduced Huxley to the notorious Satanist, Aleister Crowley.”

“I am anger reborn and frustration unjustified. I am brutal hate and cold, dead winter. I am turning, tumbling in despair and there is no light, no warmth, no world, no heart.”

Be Careful What You...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.
