“Everything is so fragile. There's so much conflict, so much pain...you keep waiting for the dust to settle and then you realize this is it; the dust is your life going on. If happy comes along--that weird, unbearable delight that's actual happy--I think you have to grab it while you can. You take what you can get, 'cause it's here, and then...gone.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“What's plan b?'
'We all die now.'
'What's plan c?”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“I’m assuming you’re as mystified by this as the rest of us, Rasputin.
No. I’m not. I have been planning to destroy the Breakworld since I was a child.
[silence]
This is why I don’t make so many jokes. I never know when is good.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“I object!
What?
Bugger, was that acting?
Is not courtroom, Katya.
Shut up! I'm not good at having two conversations at once. And I hate Scott's plan!
You mean you "object" to it.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“I'd better go before Kitty tries to act again.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“Lies. The great human weapon. Pathetic.
I'd say "pathetic" would be falling for them. Especially Kitty's.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable

“Le pedí un último beso, ya que yo todavía estaba enamorada de él y necesitaba saborearlo por última vez. Nos besamos y no quería que terminara. No había esa pasión abrumadora, sólo una triste aceptación de que las cosas habían terminado. Pero fue en ese momento en que sólo quería que dijera, “espera, todavía te quiero mucho y he cometido un terrible error.” Pensé, por favor, sólo llévame de vuelta a tus brazos y volvamos a ser lo que éramos…
Pero no lo hizo. Mi corazón dolió durante meses.”
― Ali Harris, quote from The First Last Kiss
“Things can get good again. Even things like a marriage.”
― Suzanne Woods Fisher, quote from A Lancaster County Christmas
“When spiritual leaders have done their jobs, the people around them have encountered God and obeyed his will.”
― Henry T. Blackaby, quote from Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God's Agenda
“And what is all this life but a kind of comedy, wherein men walk up and down in one another's disguises and act their respective parts, till the property-man brings them back to the attiring house. And yet he often orders a different dress, and makes him that came but just now off in the robes of a king put on the rags of a beggar. Thus are all things represented by counterfeit, and yet without this there was no living.”
― Erasmus, quote from Praise of Folly
“accepted it because at this point, my only support system was a bra. “Thanks.”

What-the-Dickens: Th...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.
