“Dropped down the Rabbit Hole, with hot models gone wild..."- Riley Dawson”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Rising
“The rebel leader and the priest.”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Rising
“Един дъх и една догма на единадесет хиляди години”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Rising
“Докато Куин и Аларик напускаха стаята, Конлан бе връхлетян от момент на прозрение. Осъзна, че Куин е хванала Аларик в капана на емпатската си мрежа толкова здраво, колкото и Райли бе уловила него. Но някой морски създания се оплитаха и удавяха в мрежи. И Аларик изглеждаше като едно от тях.”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Rising
“Пази я вместо мен Конлан - Аларик”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Rising
“Аларик тръгна към вратата, но се спря, за да погледне към тях. Райли видя дивия блясък в очите му.
- Аз ще тръгвам. Ще се видим там. - Можеш ли да усетиш Тризъбеца? - попита го тя.
- Не, но мога да почувствам Куин. - Тя долови проблясъка на болка, преди той да затвори рязко собствените щитове на ума си. Замисли се за причината. Какво точно се беше случило между него и Куин по време на лекуването?”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Rising
“Когато Аларик говореше, бе достатъчно опасен. А когато мълчеше, бе смъртоносен. Жрецът се взираше в него, без да мига и изглеждаше почти нечовешки в своето спокойствие. Ако някога някой мъж бе изглеждал неподходящ за свещеничество, то Конлан би назовал Аларик. Жрецът беше висок, колкото него, а силното му мускулесто тяло подхождаше на смъртоносната заплаха в очите му. Никой ученик обаче не би го потърсил, за да му разкаже история за детинските си пакости в изповедалнята, това бе сигурно. И все пак се говореше, че повече от една жена, съблазнена от тъмната красота на Аларик, таи надежда да убеди мрачния жрец да... кривне... от обета за безбрачие.”

“Liking someone doesn't make you weak.”
― Sarah Mlynowski, quote from Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have)
“How do you say 'We come in peace' when the very words are an act of war?”
― quote from Blindsight
“Of course a man has to take advantage of his opportunities, but the opportunities have to come,” he told an audience in Cambridge, England, in the spring of 1910. “If there is not the war, you don’t get the great general; if there is not the great occasion, you don’t get the great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in times of peace, no one would know his name now.”
― Candice Millard, quote from The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
“Some had hurled spears first. Those spears thumped into our shields, making them unwieldy, but it hardly mattered. The leading Danes tripped on the hidden timbers and the men behind pushed the falling men forward. I kicked one in the face, feeling my iron-reinforced boot crush bone. Danes were sprawling at our feet while others tried to get past their fallen comrades to reach our line, and we were killing. Two men succeeded in reaching us, despite the smoking barricade, and one of those two feel to Wasp-Sting coming up from beneath his shield-rim. He had been swinging an ax that the man behind me caught on his shield and the Dane was still holding the war ax's shaft as I saw his eyes widen, saw the snarl of his mouth turn to agony as I saw his eyes widen, saw the snarl of his mouth turn to agony as I twisted the blade, ripping it upward, and as Cerdic, beside me, chopped his own ax down. The man with the crushed face was holding my ankle and I stabbed at him as the blood spray from Cerdic's ax blinded me. The whimpering man at my feet tried to crawl away, but Finan stabbed his sword into his thigh, then stabbed again. A Dane had hooked up his ax over the top rim of my shield and hauled it down to expose my body to a spear-thrust, but the ax rolled off the circular shield and the spear was deflected upward and I slammed Wasp-Sting forward again, felt her bite, twisted her, and Finan was keening his mad Irish song as he added his own blade to the slaughter. “Keep the shields touching!” I shouted at my men.”
― Bernard Cornwell, quote from Death of Kings
“What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil,”
― Kimberly McCreight, quote from Reconstructing Amelia
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.
