― Karen Kingsbury, quote from A Time to Dance
“The eagle had two natural enemies: storms and serpents. He embraced the storm, waiting on the rock for the right thermal current and then using that to carry him higher. While other birds were taking cover, the eagle was soaring. An eagle would never fight against the storms of life.”

“Horses are of a breed unique to Fantasyland. They are capable of galloping full-tilt all day without a rest. Sometimes they do not require food or water. They never cast shoes, go lame or put their hooves down holes, except when the Management deems it necessary, as when the forces of the Dark Lord are only half an hour behind. They never otherwise stumble. Nor do they ever make life difficult for Tourists by biting or kicking their riders or one another. They never resist being mounted or blow out so that their girths slip, or do any of the other things that make horses so chancy in this world. For instance, they never shy and seldom whinny or demand sugar at inopportune moments. But for some reason you cannot hold a conversation while riding them. If you want to say anything to another Tourist (or vice versa), both of you will have to rein to a stop and stand staring out over a valley while you talk. Apart from this inexplicable quirk, horses can be used just like bicycles, and usually are. Much research into how these exemplary animals come to exist has resulted in the following: no mare ever comes into season on the Tour and no stallion ever shows an interest in a mare; and few horses are described as geldings. It therefore seems probable that they breed by pollination. This theory seems to account for everything, since it is clear that the creatures do behave more like vegetables than mammals. Nomads appears to have a monopoly on horse-breeding. They alone possess the secret of how to pollinate them.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, quote from The Tough Guide to Fantasyland
“...и въпреки това и сега не вярвахме, че е истина, и не защото наистина не вярвахме, а защото не искахме да е истина, бяхме стигнали дотам, че вече не знаехме какво ще стане с нас без него, какво ще стане с нашия живот след него, не можех да си представя света без човека, който на дванайсет години беше ме направил толкова щастлива, както никой друг по-късно не можа да ме направи след онези отминали преди толкова време следобеди, когато излизахме от училище в пет, а той дебнеше от капандурите на обора момичетата в сини униформи с моряшка яка и коси, сплетени отзад само на една плитка, като си мислеше, майчице Бендисион Алварадо, колко били красиви жените на моята възраст, викаше ни, виждахме тръпнещите му очи, ръката в ръкавици със скъсани пръсти, която се мъчеше да ни изкуси с карамеленото звънче на посланика Форбес, всички се разбягаха изплашени, всички освен аз, аз останах сама на улицата пред училището и когато разбрах, че никой не ме гледа, опитах се да грабна бонбона и тогава той ме сграбчи за китките с нежните тигрови лапи и ме вдигна във въздуха, без да ми причинява болка, и ме прокара с такова внимание през капандурата, че не развали нито едно плисе на полата ми, и ме сложи да легна във вмирисаното на застояла урина сено, като се мъчеше да ми каже нещо, което не излизаше от сухата му уста, защото беше по-изплашен и от мен, трепереше, под куртката му се усещаха ударите на сърцето, беше блед, очите му бяха пълни със сълзи, както на никой мъж през целия ми изгнанически живот, пипаше ме мълчешката, дишаше бавно, опипваше ме с нежност, каквато никога вече не срещнах, зърната на гърдите ми наедряваха, не му бяха нужни повече карамелите на посланика Балдрих, за да се вмъквам през капандурите на обора, та да изживея щастливите часове на пубертета си с тоя мъж с чисто и тъжно сърце, който ме чакаше седнал в сеното,...”

Fuel the FireBookQuoters 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.
