“You know when I told you the joke about how a friend will help you move, but a real friend will help you move a body? I was only kidding.”
― Brad Thor, quote from Black List
“You can't kill an American Citizen without benefit of a trial."
"I can if you're on the list, traitor."
"LIST? What list? What the hell are you talking about?"
BLACK LIST, July 24”
― Brad Thor, quote from Black List
“If he's like any other man I've ever met, it's not my smile he's going to be looking at.”
― Brad Thor, quote from Black List
“Hegelian dialectic—a psychological tool used to manipulate the masses. In this case, you create a problem, wait for the reaction, and then offer the solution. What people historically fail to realize, though, is that those offering the solution are the same people who caused the problem in the first place. They also fail to realize that no matter what the solution is, it always ends up providing its creators with more power.”
― Brad Thor, quote from Black List
“We’ve been warned.” “Exactly. It’s a clever form of the Hegelian dialectic—a psychological tool used to manipulate the masses. In this case, you create a problem, wait for the reaction, and then offer the solution. What people historically fail to realize, though, is that those offering the solution are the same people who caused the problem in the first place. They also fail to realize that no matter what the solution is, it always ends up providing its creators with more power.”
― Brad Thor, quote from Black List
“Human beings are the most successful of animals because of their capability to learn, and an abused animal learns very quickly to defend itself. It also learns very quickly to trust very few people - if any.”
― Brad Thor, quote from Black List
“Men are like parking spots. All the good ones are
taken, and those that aren’t are inaccessible.”
PHOEBE TRAEGER”
― Jill Shalvis, quote from Simply Irresistible
“I had thought about cocaine in a kind of day-dream.”
― Sigmund Freud, quote from The Interpretation of Dreams
“I'm so exhausted and yet I feel like I'll never sleep again.”
― Maya Banks, quote from Hidden Away
“Suntem norocosi, noi suntem cei care vom muri. Cei mai multi oameni nu vor muri niciodata pentru ca ei nu se vor naste niciodata. Numarul de oameni potentiali care s-ar fi putut afla aici in locul meu, dar care de fapt nu vor vedea niciodata lumina zilei, depaseste firele de nisip din Peninsula Arabica. Cu siguranta, printre aceste fantome nenascute se afla poeti mai mari decat Keats, oameni de stiinta mai mari decat Newton. Stim acest lucru pentru ca numarul de oameni posibili in urma combinarii ADN-ului nostru depaseste cu mult numarul actual de persoane. In ciuda acestei realitati stupefiante, tu si eu, absolut obisnuiti, suntem aici.”
― Richard Dawkins, quote from Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
“No drunken, saddened, addled, enraged citizens of Richmond so much as attacks Lincoln with their fists.”
― Bill O'Reilly, quote from Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever
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.
