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

“She didn't like to be talked about. Equally, she didn't like not to be talked about, when the high-minded chatter rushed on as though she was not there. There was no pleasing her, in fact. She had the grace, even at eleven, to know there was no pleasing her. She thought a lot, analytically, about other people's feelings, and had only just begun to realize that this was not usual, and not reciprocated.”
― A.S. Byatt, quote from The Children's Book
“I return to problems i can't solve, not because i am an idiot, but because the real problems can't be solved. The universe is expanding. The more we see, the more we discover there is to see. Always a new beginning, a different end.”
― Jeanette Winterson, quote from Weight: The Myth of Atlas and Heracles
“Outrage alternated with a sweaty fear he had never before felt. Something, it seemed to him was being drained from him, leaving the body feeling like a very dry sponge, very light, completely at the mercy of sly toying gusts of wind.”
― Ayi Kwei Armah, quote from The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born
“In my fantasies, I was always caught up in heroic struggles, and I saw myself saving lives, sacrificing myself for others. I had far loftier ambitions than mere romance.”

The Voyage OutBookQuoters 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.
