“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.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls
“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.”
― Ronie Kendig, quote from Crown of Souls

“But, Summer,” Thomas interrupted, “if you have your own house, you won’t be living here anymore.” Summer pulled her attention away from Peter. “No, but I was only staying until you were caught up on your studies and could return to school. You’re all caught up and even ahead, I would wager. Your ribs have healed enough for you to ride Daisy to school when the winter break is over. So my time here is nearly done.” “But-but …” the boy sputtered. “What is troubling you, boy?” Peter asked. Thomas looked at the floor. “I wanted Summer to … always stay here. I wanted her to … be … my ma.” His words ended on a hoarse whisper. Summer felt as though her heart turned over in her chest. She looked at Peter, uncertain how to answer the boy. By Peter’s expression, he was lost, too. Maternal instinct took over, and she pulled Thomas into her embrace. As he had the night Peter didn’t return, the boy clung, burying his face against her shoulder.”
― Kim Vogel Sawyer, quote from Waiting for Summer's Return
“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you. Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.”
― Parker J. Palmer, quote from Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation
“Sì, s', sì, lo sapevo. Fumare fa male. Mangiare fa male. Bere fa male. Tutte le cose piacevoli fanno male o come minimo fanno ingrassare. Troppa eccitazione fa male. Troppo lavoro fa male. In pratica la vita non è altro che un pericolosissimo campo minato e alla fine cadi da una scala mentre raccogli ciliegie o finisci sotto una macchina mentre vai a comprare il pane, come la portinaia nell'Eleganza del Riccio.”
― Nicolas Barreau, quote from The Ingredients of Love
“If you became mine, I wouldn’t let you go.” His words were clipped, as if he was biting back frenzy. “Understand me, if I’m your first lover— I will be your last.” The ringing tone of finality chilled me. “And I would kill any man who thought to touch what was mine.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from The Professional: Part 2
“You get to thinking that maybe the diving line shouldn't be animals and people but good and bad.”

Yoga The Science of...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.
