― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous

― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous

― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous
“We can't surrender to the culture. We've minimized the role of fathers, so we've created a generation of barbarians, children who become men without growing up. They stay in boyhood through their 20s and 30s, sometimes their whole lives. They think of themselves first, indulge in pornography, do what they feel like, leave their wives, and culture, and churches to raise their children.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous
“Yanked out of the present, Adam discovered the richness of the past in people's stories.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous
“Emily peered at him and frowned, then began to dance on the grass. “Okay, Daddy,” Emily said. “When you’re ready to dance with me, this is what you do. First, you put your right hand around my waist like this, then hold your other hand out like this. Then we sway back and forth to the music.” Face animated, she gestured gracefully while talking, lost in the moment”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous
“She was home (in Heaven). She was with the Person she was made for, in the place that was made for her.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous
“We are all theologians, either good ones or bad ones. I'd rather be a good one. Wouldn't you?”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Courageous

“He had learned never to disturb her when the keyboard was clacking. He left a quick note and slipped out. He grabbed the 6 train up to midtown and walked to the Kinney lot on 46th Street. Mario tossed him the keys without glancing up from his paper.”

“Remember, the bread will be tempting, but I can resist it. It’s more important to me to lose weight. If I eat the bread, I’ll get momentary pleasure, but afterwards I’ll feel worse.”

“But you can't ever live in the place you dream about, the town you long for. ...the moment you become conscious of your desire, and then fulfill it, it evaporates.”
― Haven Kimmel, quote from The Solace of Leaving Early
“Na pewno dużą rolę odgrywało to, że jego mama pochodziła z Finlandii. Była to zawsze milcząca kobieta z ciemiężonego narodu wyniszczonego zarówno wojną domową, Wojną Zimową i dalszym ciągiem walk, podczas gdy tłusty zachodni sąsiad - Szwecja - wzbogacił się, sprzedając Niemcom rudę żelaza.”
― Mikael Niemi, quote from Popular Music from Vittula
“Днес на тази планета има 120 милиона деца в училищна възраст, които са лишени от образование поради полова дискриминация, бедност, експлоатация, религиозен екстремизъм и правителствена корупция.
Надявам се и се моля през следващото десетилетие да успеем да проправим път на образованието навсякъде и да осигурим обучение на всички тези деца, две трети от които са момичета. Нищо не би ме направило по-щастлив, ако книгата „Училища от камък” помогне за постигането на тази цел.”

MogworldBookQuoters 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.
