“Shards of emotional green shot through Talen’s golden eyes. “He did it for my mate. Eating a virus that might kill him. For my mate.” A pebble skipped across the cement when Talen kicked it. “I don’t know whether to hug him or punch him in the face.”
Dage grinned. “Hell. It’s Kane. Do both.”
Talen returned the grin, then quickly sobered.”

“I’m with the man, not the king. The king can kiss my ass.”
The king had every intention of kissing her ass, maybe biting it as well.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Claimed
“What do you know about quantum physics?” An unwilling curiosity welled up in Emma. “Not much except that it’s a modern theory that explains the nature and behavior of energy and matter on the atomic and subatomic level.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Claimed
“I’ve waited centuries for your touch, Emma.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Claimed
“You’ve never met the king, love.” He nipped her ear and her knees began to tremble. “It’s the man who has you.”

“I should have known the Queen of the Realm would be a pain in my ass.”

“Brightston.” An odd energy containing more than mere female anger pulsed around the woman. Shifter? Witch? “Former lover”

“Човек има приятели не само за да им предложи чаша вино, а да им попречи да се нагълтат с три-четири литра вода.”

“Great actions have shaped our society.’ Sindermann said. The greatest of these, physically, has been the Emperor's formal and complete unification of Terra, the outward sequel to which, this Great Crusade, we are now engaged upon. But the greatest, intellectually, has been our casting off of that heavy mantle called religion. Religion damned our species for thousands of years, from the lowest superstition to the highest conclaves of spiritual faith. It drove us to madness, to war,
to murder, it hung upon us like a disease, like a shackle ball. I'll tell you what religion was... No, you tell me. You, there?'
'Ignorance, sir.’
Thank you, Khanna. Ignorance. Since the earliest times, our species has striven to understand the workings of the cosmos, and where that understanding has failed, or fallen short, we have filled in the gaps, plastered over the discrepancies, with blind faith. Why does the sun go round the sky? I don't know, so I will attribute it to the efforts of a sun god with a golden chariot. Why do people die? I can't say, but I will choose to believe it is the murky business of a reaper who carries souls to some afterworld.”

“ხალხი არასოდეს აჯანყებულა გაუთავებული ჭაპანწყვეტის გამო, ან იმისათვის, რომ მძიმე ტომრის ტარება უწევთ. მან ხომ, უბრალოდ, არ იცის სხვა ცხოვრება, ანუ ცხოვრება დიდი ძალისხმევის გარეშე. წარმოდგენაც კი არა აქვს, რომ ასეთი რამ საერთოდ არსებობს. მაშ, როგორ შეიძლება მოითხოვო ის, რაც არ იცი, რაც შენს წარმოსახვაშიც არაა?! ხალხი მხო-ლოდ მაშინ ბუნტდება, როდესაც მოულოდნელად, ერთი ხელის აქნევით ვიღაც შეეცდება ზურგზე მეორე ტომარაც წამოჰკიდოს. მაშინ გლეხი ვერ უძლებს და ხელს ნაჯახს სტაცებს. და ის, ძვირფასო მეგობარო, ნაჯახს იმიტომ კი არ იღებს ხელში, რომ ვერ ზიდა მეორე ტომარა, არა, ის მასაც წაიღებდა! გლეხი ჯანყდება იმიტომ, რომ, მისი აზრით, მეორე ტომარა მოულოდნელად და ჩუმად აჰკიდეს მხრებზე, ანუ შეეცადნენ მოეტყუებინათ, როგორც უგონო ცხოველი, შეურაცხყვეს მისი ღირსება და ჩათვალეს სულელად, რომელიც ვერ ხედავს, ვერ გრძნობს, ვერაფერს იგებს. გლეხი ნაჯახს არა ჯიბის, არამედ ადამიანური ღირსების დასაცავად იღებს.”
― Ryszard Kapuściński, quote from The Emperor

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.
