“We cry in our own rooms, remembering a man who will never be here again.The house creaks. Maybe it feels the weight of our grief, maybe the floorboards are buckling because the burden is too heavy.”
― Rochelle Maya Callen, quote from Ashes and Ice
“Love is a sliver of sunlight peeking through the darkness; a whisper of hope when all is lost.”
― Rochelle Maya Callen, quote from Ashes and Ice
“Jade is my everything: my wings, my roots, my sky. I am in love with her.
And she tried to kill me.
Now that is some messed up shit right now.”
― Rochelle Maya Callen, quote from Ashes and Ice
“People can change... no matter where they come from, no matter where they think they ought to go, people can make their own way.”
― Rochelle Maya Callen, quote from Ashes and Ice
“ Wasting time is a stupid thing to do in this big ol' ugly world.”
― Rochelle Maya Callen, quote from Ashes and Ice
“Therefore, to you the creature, many of the acts of the all-powerful Creator seem to be arbitrary, detached, and not infrequently heartless and cruel. But again I assure you that this is not true. God’s doings are all purposeful, intelligent, wise, kind, and eternally considerate of the best good, not always of an individual being, an individual race, an individual planet, or even an individual universe; but they are for the welfare and best good of all concerned, from the lowest to the highest.”
― Urantia Foundation, quote from The Urantia Book
“I don't confuse greatness with perfection. To be great anyhow is…the higher achievement.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, quote from Mirror Dance
“It was good for a while, being empty. I didn't hurt anymore. But as time went on, it was like I could hear myself from far away, begging for permission to come back.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass
“Ko se povežete v duhovno partnerstvo z drugim človeškim bitjem, prinesete energijo pralika duhovnega partnerstva v fizični prostor. Začnete oblikovati in živeti po vrednotah, zaznavah in dejanjih, ki odražajo enakost z vašim partnerjem in povezanost z njegovim duhovnim razvojem ter vašim lastnim. Odmikati začnete hotenja svoje osebnosti, da bi naredili prostor za potrebe duhovne rasti vašega partnerja in pri tem rastete tudi sami. Tako deluje duhovno partnerstvo.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul
“Drop the bat, mister, or I’ll fill you so full of lead the undertaker will charge double to bury you!”
― Karen Witemeyer, quote from To Win Her Heart
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.
