Quotes from Be Careful What You Wish For

“consider the implications. We think we know what we want, but we can never really know until we've got it. And sometimes when we have, we discover we never really wanted it in the first place - but then it's too late”
― Alexandra Potter, quote from Be Careful What You Wish For

“just in case" is the curse of packing”
― Alexandra Potter, quote from Be Careful What You Wish For

“Ne smiješ željama profućkati svoj život, Heather.”
Lice mu je ozbiljno, ali to me ne spriječi da upitam: “Zašto ne?” Oslobodi oblak dima iz
kuta usana. “Jer je život prekratak da bi se potratio i trenutak.”
― Alexandra Potter, quote from Be Careful What You Wish For

“Stari Indijanac ispričao je jedne večeri unuku priču o večnoj borbi koja se odvija u ljudima.
Rekao je: "Sine, borba između dva vuka događa se u svima nama.
Jedan je zločest, u njemu prevladavaju gnev, zavist, ljubomora, pohlepa, oholost, samosažaljenje, ljutnja, inferiornost, laž, lažni ponos i egoizam.
Drugi je dobar i u njemu prevladavaju radost, mir, ljubav, nada, vedrina, poniznost, ljubaznost, ljubav, saosećanje, darežljivost, istina i vera."
Pita unuk: "Koji vuk pobeđuje?"
Indijanac odgovara: "Onaj kojeg bolje nahraniš.”
― Alexandra Potter, quote from Be Careful What You Wish For

“It is nearly impossible to feel anything negative in here. Because you’re really connected, to everything, here… but it’s only meant to be a temporary sanctuary, a place to remember yourself. In time you’ll want your negative thoughts, your emotional baggage back, and you’ll have hopefully bolstered yourself enough with the Sanctum’s reminder of your Source that you can come out with fresh perspective. When you’ve had enough of it, you’ll know, and then come and join us outside.”
― Colleen Chen, quote from Dysmorphic Kingdom

“Only weak thinkers do not love the sky.”
― Katherine Rundell, quote from Rooftoppers

About BookQuoters

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.
