“You are about to meet your first vampire, Aurora. I’ll warn you, he’s no Edward Cullen.”
― Nikki Jefford, quote from Aurora Sky
“when my lips flew open I could only think of one thing. “You injected me with a virus!”
― Nikki Jefford, quote from Aurora Sky
“Peter, as in Peter Pan. Pretty fitting, really. Dante was like a boy who never grew up. At least he wasn’t calling himself Van Helsing and me Buffy. Might not go over too well with the undead crowd.”
― Nikki Jefford, quote from Aurora Sky
“since departed. I did a quick book and binder grab, then sprinted to math. The warning bell rang as I hurried in and took my seat beside my”
― Nikki Jefford, quote from Aurora Sky
“Yeah, I find it interesting that there’s a boy in the girls’ locker room. So you had that sex operation, did you?”
― Nikki Jefford, quote from Aurora Sky
“A law in physics, called the second law of thermodynamics, says that entropy, or chaos (the opposite of growth…a winding-down process), increases over time. You can readily see this in life, and we have already talked about it. Anything left to its own is naturally dying, getting more disorganized, rusting, etc. Even the universe itself is subject to that process.”
― Henry Cloud, quote from Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality
“Imagine considering every moment as a potential time of communion with God. By the time your life is over, you will have spent six months at stoplights, eight months opening junk mail, a year and a half looking for lost stuff (double that number in my case), and a whopping five years standing in various lines.7Why don’t you give these moments to God? By giving God your whispering thoughts, the common becomes uncommon. Simple phrases such as “Thank you, Father,” “Be sovereign in this hour, O Lord,” “You are my resting place, Jesus” can turn a commute into a pilgrimage. You needn’t leave your office or kneel in your kitchen. Just pray where you are. Let the kitchen become a cathedral or the classroom a chapel. Give God your whispering thoughts.”
― Max Lucado, quote from Just Like Jesus: Learning to Have a Heart Like His
“there was no such thing as past or future. There was no time that could be lost or won. The only thing that counted was action.”
― Henning Mankell, quote from One Step Behind
“One has to know what it is to be alone, what it is to meditate, what it is to die; and the implications of solitude, of meditation, of death, can be known only by seeking them out. These implications cannot be taught, they must be learned.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, quote from Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti
“Do not descend, but rise above so ill-mannered a person.”
― Mary Lydon Simonsen, quote from The Perfect Bride for Mr. Darcy
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.
