“No sane person could witness what they saw every day in the field, or carry out the acts of violence they were tasked with, and not come away affected.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“You weren't meant to fight this alone. On our own, we are nothing.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“He couldn't do it alone. That was the point, wasn't it? Bring him to the end of himself.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“Haven sighed. Then shrugged. "He's the best man I know, but he believes himself to be the worst. He sees himself as some...monster." She narrowed her eyes, watching Cole, thinking how best to help him. "I don't know how to change that.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“Because he listened to you. When everything in him told him to fight, he listened." Mr. Tzaddik's kind brown eyes met hers. "Loving a warrior is not easy. I pray our Lord Jesus will strengthen you for the journey”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“Do not let your confidence or love be easily removed or frightened by the rage of a warrior”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“Alec isn't worried. He isn't bothered by his actions or who he hurts." She came closer, her long blond hair curling around her neck and shoulder. "And worst of all, he is content with his actions. You?" She smiled around an airy laugh. "You're running from yourself. From anyone who sees good in you. Because you're struggling with it, with the belief that you're the same, that you've done bad things. That guilt, that shame? That should be your compass, Cole. But I don't need a compass to know you're not the same as Alec. And I wish my belief in you was enough to convince you. The actions of man speak to what's in his heart." She pressed a hand to his chest, right over the four-valved organ pumping blood through his veins. And it seemed in a hurry right now. "Read what's there, Cole.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“Loving a warrior is not easy. I pray our Lord Jesus will strengthen you for the journey.”

“I have a report here from McKenna that says you and King were like brothers."
"Not like." Tox spoke evenly. "We were. Soldiers, the men I fight with are my family. We eat, sleep, and breathe the same air, chaos, bloodshed, and war.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“What concerns me," she said, "is that he's treading a fine line between fighting evil and becoming it.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“One of Tox's favorite quotes by Mark Twain was, "Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“She might not be as hard-hitting as Tzivia, but she had a depth of sincerity and gentleness that he appreciated. Needed. She cared about people. In the war of life, she was the medic and he the guy on the front lines fighting.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“He might not like that she'd dated the guy one, but he didn't want him dead. Most of the time.”

“The world is so much larger than I thought. I thought we went along paths--but it seems there are no paths. The going itself is the path.”
― C.S. Lewis, quote from Perelandra
“You may control a mad elephant;
You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger;
Ride the lion and play with the cobra;
By alchemy you may learn your livelihood;
You may wander through the universe incognito;
Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful;
You may walk in water and live in fire;
But control of the mind is better and more difficult.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, quote from Autobiography of a Yogi
“I now know exactly why they started the tradition of being apart the night before your wedding. It's nothing about romance, or sex, or being chaste, or whatever. It's so you don't have a row and stomp up the aisle seething at your bridegroom, planning all the home truths you're going to tell him as soon as you get this wedding bit out of the way.”
― Sophie Kinsella, quote from I've Got Your Number
“God is God. His name doesn’t matter.”
― Christopher Pike, quote from Thirst No. 1: The Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice
“Dune; Nova; Double Star; The Corridors of Time; Cat's Cradle; Half Past Human; Murder in Retrospect; Gideon's Day; The Red Right Hand; The Trojan Hearse; A Deadly Shade of Gold; Conjure Wife; Rosemary's Baby; Silverlock; King Conan. He'd packed books not to entertain, nor even to illustrate philosophies of life, but to rebuild civilization.”

The Solitude of Prim...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.
