“When someone from Faerie ever tells you something, you can see it - you can feel it - you believe it. For the true value of enchantment and its glamour, is in the imparting of a truth - by truth's own persuasion it makes itself real.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“...for the purity of first light is bliss
and surely the whole point of faith
is just in this: -
Not that we believe
but that we ask of He
to have faith in us.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“True passion motivates the life forces and brings forth all things good.
... desire is the poor cousin to passion, ever hungry and with no real result.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“Thoughts alone are potent writs of becoming.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“There are faerie lights in Faerie - not the tiny paper lanterns that you might see strung up high upon a tree, and not the fat neon fireflies that sprinkle the forests at night - no, these lights are actually the beings themselves, visible as just a pinpoint of light, like stars on the sky, the etheric beings grace our world with fleeting sparks of brilliant radiance.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“Men are tested and tried amongst deceptions radically and they are winning for themselves abilities to give, to deliberate, to stand fast, to choose well, to discriminate.”
“They are far from the 'automata' of the Universe some think them to be. They dance the starry path and are sharpening their knowledge with every orbit of each positive thought travelled.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“For all beings within this universal kingdom, their magnetic north rests in genuine mirth.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“The strange thing about magic is how easily one can feel familiar with it. Much like a dream, its message can infill the senses of the soul and persuade the consciousness in a way that is undeniable. As intoxicating as the musk of romance and as enlightening as the whispers of hidden wisdom, magic can take you back into the very realm of your childhood … and leave you there.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“Between the borders of Faerie and the physical world stands an ancient forest where the trees are exceedingly tall; and although no longer visible to men, their roots go deep into its earth.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“Heaven itself is just a little less than perfect: for perfection, by self-definition, is a static condition, and anything truly static has deceased its purpose.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“Sometimes when deep magic is before you, it can be taken as something quite ordinary. Only when looking back does one question what had just taken place, and make note that it had been queer or unusual. The deeper a magic is, the more normal it can appear.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“Some things are so natural they are effortless ... and loving is one of them.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“The thoughts of Man build future worlds, whilst the emotions of the Fey build up this, our Natural World.”
― Gabriel Brunsdon, quote from Azlander: Second Nature
“The word 'weird' is never spoken or thought of by the Fey, as to them there is nothing very strange when you take it as it is.”

“Salander was dressed for the day in a black T-shirt with a picture on it of E.T. with fangs, and the words I AM ALSO AN ALIEN. She had on a black skirt that was frayed at the hem, a worn-out black, mid-length leather jacket, rivet belt, heavy Doc Marten boots, and horizontally striped, green-and-red knee socks. She had put on make-up in a colour scheme that indicated she might be colourblind. In other words, she was exceptionally decked out.”
― Stieg Larsson, quote from The Millennium Trilogy
“Driving a hot car is a lot like sex to me, or a lot like I keep thinking sex should be: A total body experience, overwhelming, to all the senses, taking you places you've never been, packing a punch that leaves you breathless and touches your soul. The Viper was way more satisfying then my last boyfriend.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from Faefever

Bridge of BirdsBookQuoters 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.
