“I'm not dreaming this, am I?" he asked.
Dehvi lifted an eyebrow. "There's only one way to know for sure," he said.
What's that?"
Go piss in the woods. If you feel wet and warm afterward, wake up.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“There's no guarantee that justice will win out or that a noble sacrifice will make any difference. But when it does, there's something that still swells my chest. There's magic in that.... It tells me that's the way things are supposed to be. ”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“A few months ago you assassinated a man who called himself a god; now you're going after a goddess in truth. Unless you can figure out a way to kill continents, after this you're going to have to retire.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“...if reality is hard and flat and unjust, then it's better to adjust to what really is than to complain that it isn't what you wish. That was what made me lose faith..... But having lost it, soon I doubted my lack of faith. There were niggling hints of meaning everywhere.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“The perfect killer has no conscience.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“I am Sa’kagé a lord of shadows. I claim the shadows that the Shadow may not. I am the strong arm of deliverance. I am Shadowstrider. I am the Scales of Justice. I am He-Who-Guards-Unseen. I am Shadowslayer. I am Nameless. The coranti shall not go unpunished. My way is hard but I serve unbroken. In ignobility nobility. In shame honor. In darkness light. I will do justice and love mercy. Until the king returns I shall not lay my burden down.”
--(Durzo Blint to Jorses Alkestes, quoted to Skylar at the edge of Ezra's Forest.)”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“You damn fool. You realize, even if all your assumptions are correct-even then, you still have to steal the world's most coveted sword from the world's safest place then be pursued by the ultimate hunter until you reach the heart of an enemy country in the middle of a war in which any side will happily kill you as a traitor, a spy, a wytch, or all three?"
"I thought you'd like it.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Sometimes to love is easy, but to accept love is hard.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“There was a nice dilemma.
How does one interject into a polite conversation,
"By the way, in case you're ever interested, I do have a penise."?”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“That's the burden of leadership, Logan: making the choice when none of the choices are good.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“It was no true prayer to beg forgiveness while choosing to sin.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“The intuition that had kept Kylar from Vi even from the first time she'd tried to seduce him at the Drake estate suddenly crystallized: You don't share your life with a woman's body, you share your life with a woman.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Durzo cleared his throat. "I've got bad news... Life being unfair and all that..."
"Oh, great. What is it?" [replied Kylar]
"Luc Graesin? Kid you died on the wheel to save?"
"It was more for Logan than for Luc, but what about Luc?"
"Hanged himself," Durzo said.
...
"Are you joking? After what I did for him? That asshole!”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“when you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“An oath you only keep when it's convenient isn't an oath at all.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“You’re amazing,” Kylar said.
~I know.~
“Humble, too.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“... a man who denies what is essential to his being is a man who drills holes in the cup of his own happiness.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“A king made choices for other people based on information they didn't have. That was the burden of rule.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“To be king means to accept that others will pay the price of your failures -- and even your successes.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Tongues should be used to commit indiscretions, not to discuss them.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Si te lo pidiese, ¿matarías a Terah de Graesin? logan
—Sin dudarlo.
—Si no te lo pidiera, ¿lo harías de todas formas?
—Sí.
—¿Lo has estado planeando?
—Sí.
—¡Maldita sea, Kylar! Ahora lo sé.
—¿Pues para qué lo preguntas?
—Para eliminar la excusa. ¿Se puede gobernar con justicia después de
haber conseguido el trono injustamente?
—Buena pregunta para planteársela a la mujer que te robó el tuyo.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Logan folded his arms. His voice was granite."My word stands."
"Can you love an idea more than you love a man and not become a monster? How many friends will you sacrifice on the altar of Justice, Logan?"
"If you force my hand, at least one."
They were standing on a precipice. Socially, Logan had always been Kylar's superior. Morally, Kylar had always felt inferior, too. But they'd never been placed in a direct hierarchical relation. Now Logan was giving an order. He would not be moved.
Kylar could only accept his order and accept all his orders henceforth, or reject it and them forever. There was a part of him that yearned to obey. He was convinced that killing Terah was the right thing, but Logan's moral compass was a more accurate instrument than Kylar's. What was it about submission that was so hard? Kylar wasn't being asked for blind servility. He was being asked to obey a man he knew and loved and respected, who in turn respected him.
'The wolfhound is pampered by the fire. The wolf is hunted in the cold.'
"Do you know how much I love you, Logan?" Kylar asked. Logan opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, Kylar said, "This much." And left.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“A whore's truth has too many sharp edges.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“...Alexas the blessed... was a good kid." Durzo laughed. Then his smile faded. "Broke my heart to kill him. But he needed killing by the end.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Choose in haste and regret at leisure.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Growing old with the woman I love would be my first choice, but dying reconciled with her isn't a bad second.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Feir said, “All we have to do is find Ezra’s secret entrance to Black Barrow, find Ezra’s workshop and his gold tools, find seven broken mistarille swords, rediscover a forging technique every present-day Maker's day Mays is a myth, find one giant ruby, and avoid detection by a couple of hundred Vürdmeisters plotting gods know what.”
“Oh,” Antoninus said, waggling his great, single kohled eyebrow, “here I thought it was going to take all winter.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“People commonly misquote the old Sacrinomicon and say that money is the root of all evil, which is moronic if you think about it. The real quote is that the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil. Not as pithy, but a lot truer.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows

― John Grisham, quote from The Street Lawyer
“If one man does not make a move, the other must, and by permitting the adversary to make the attack one learns something about him.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from The Big Four
“Some big insect flew in and began walking on the table. I don’t know what insect it was, but it was brown, shining, and rich in structures. In the city the big universal chain of insects gets thin, but where there’s a leaf or two it’ll be represented.”
― Saul Bellow, quote from The Adventures of Augie March
“Finn had finished his coffee run and was strolling back down the hallway, a mug of his steaming chicory brew in his left hand. He saw Vinnie heading toward him, sighed, and reached around behind his back with his right hand. Finn came up with a gun, which he leveled at Vinnie’s head.
The Ice elemental froze in the doorway.
“Why don’t you be a good boy, Vinnie, and go sit down,” Finn said in a pleasant voice before taking a sip of his coffee. His eyes never left the other man, and his gun never wavered. Finn could be a bad-ass when he had to, just like me.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Tangled Threads
“So Fermi said, “Well . . . there is the remote possibility that neutrons may be emitted in the fission of uranium and then of course perhaps a chain reaction can be made.” Rabi said, “What do you mean by ‘remote possibility’?” and Fermi said, “Well, ten per cent.” Rabi said, “Ten per cent is not a remote possibility if it means that we may die of it. If I have pneumonia and the doctor tells me that there is a remote possibility that I might die, and it’s ten percent, I get excited about it.”

To Have and Have NotBookQuoters 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.
