Quotes from Airel: The Awakening

“I always had to buy a book, even if I wasn't done with the one I was currently reading. I loved to read. I felt like the trun of each page echoed between the covers of the world inside them-and each book had its own rules. There, within the mystique of that connection, was something special, and I was an addict.”
― Aaron M. Patterson, quote from Airel: The Awakening

― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island

“good night moon.

The music has slowed, my parka’s still tied around my waist, my sweaty head is nestled on Teague’s strapping shoulder, and I’m wondering what I possibly did in some past life to deserve such bliss, such a bounty of good fortune, when I feel a tap on the top of my head, and open my eyes to see Ava and T smiling at me.
Um, can you say, embarrassing!
I pull away from Teague and turn three shades of red.
Ava winks at me.
“Teague,” she says. “This is Tobias. Tobias, Teague.”
Teague and T shake and nod quietly, manly, the way guys do. “Glad to see you two made it,” says T.
“Yeah.” Teague squeezes my hand. “I had to be rescued.” He smiles, his magnetic dark eyes still dancing with me. “But thanks to Em--”
Em. I like that.
Em,
Em,
Em.
“Hey,” says Ava, “I hate to break it to you two, but--” She smiles sympathetically. “It’s time to go.”
My lower lip pops out in this pleeease type of goggley-eyed pleading that is entirely new to me but apparently not beneath me.
“I know,” says Ava. “But things are going to be ending here soon. And I’d rather you not drive, with people drinking tonight.” She pauses. “I’ll tell you what. Say your good-byes, Tobias is going to drive the truck, and I’m going to take you on the Honda. It’s late, I think that would be--”
Teague squeezes my hand again. “I’ve gotta get going too. It’s late, and--”
He hugs me. Tight. His arms are strong and warm and my face presses into his chest.
I shut my eyes and breathe him in.
I don’t let go first.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace

“Preventing war is much better than protesting against the war. Protesting the war is too late.”

About BookQuoters

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.
