“There is nothing so terrible as a story untold”

“A strange prince, an even stranger night, she wrote later. I don't know if I ever want to see him again. But he seemed lonely too. Should we not be lonely together?”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“There is no greater pain or punishment then memory.”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“We all have scars and ghosts of our own. Some drove us to the Scarlet Guard, and some were because of it. I know the sting of both.”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“I'm Barrow. Shade Barrow. And you better not get me killed.”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“The only person in my head is me.
Tibe is not the same. The crown has changed him, as you feared it would.
The fire is in him, the fire that will burn all the world.
And it is in your son, in the prince who will never change his blood and will never sit a throne.
The only person in my head is me.
The only person who has not changed is you. You are still the little girl in a dusty room, forgotten, unwanted, out of place. You are the queen of everything, mother to a beautiful son, wife to a king who loves you, and still you cannot find it in yourself to smile.
Still you make nothing.
Still you are empty.
The only person in your head is you.
And she is no one of any importance.
She is nothing”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“I am married to a prince who will one day be a king. Usually this is where the fairy tale ends. Stories don't go much further than this moment, and I fear there's a good reason for it. A sense of dread hung over today, a black cloud I still can't get rid of. It is an unease deep in the heart of me, feeding off my strength.”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“You're a special kind of stupid”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“Risk is part of the game.”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“Nonsense, you're quite interesting when you try”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“I'm good at what I do.”
― Victoria Aveyard, quote from Cruel Crown
“The diary ended unfinished, unseen by any who deserved to read it.
Only Elara saw its pages, and the slow unraveling of the woman inside.
She destroyed the book like she destroyed Coriane.
Still she dreamed of nothing.”

“I was once again, Miss Alexandria Charles Montague Collins, the flawless proper lady, pretentious to the help, and people pleaser—the well-bred Southern belle who wore the mask of perfection because no one wanted to see the truth underneath.”

“Dievas buvo toks mielaširdingas, jog padarė Mirtį nematomą žmogaus akims. Mes žinom, kad ji čia pat, seka įkandin mūsų kaip šešėlis ir niekuomet nuo mūsų nesitraukia, Ir vis dėlto jos nematom ir veik visai apie ją užmirštam. O keisčiausia tai, kad juo labiau artėjam prie kapo, juo mažiau galvojam apie Mirtį. Iš tikrųjų tik Dievas galėjo padaryti tokį stebuklą!”
― Axel Munthe, quote from The Story of San Michele
“I don’t want easy and uncomplicated. I want love that makes me fucking insane and irrational. I want to drown in it and never come back up for air.”

The Power of Positiv...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.
