“Pressure is just that—pressure. It’s all in your head. It has nothing to do with what you can or can’t do.”
― Julie Cross, quote from Whatever Life Throws at You
“But how would it be if there was nowhere in the world that you belonged? If you could get nobody to love you? What if you could not be a Shadowhunter or a warlock or anything else?
Maybe then you were worse than a tragedy. Maybe you were nothing at all.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Nothing but Shadows
“If I wanted a load of baloney, I would've had a cold cut platter brought it!" -Lulu”
― Danielle Paige, quote from The Wicked Will Rise
“- هناك آلاف من البشر في سدوم وعمورة يأكلون ويشربون ويتبرجون ويضحكون ويسخرون، وهناك آلاف العقول التي تشرئب كالثعابين لتنفث بسمومها نحو السماء وهي تفح. ولكن إن كان بينها أربعون روحاً فاضلة فهل ستحرقها يا مولاي؟
- أسماء! أريد أسماء! من هؤلاء الأربعون؟
-وماذا لو كانوا عشرين! عشرين روحاً فاضلة يا مولاي؟
- أنا أريد أسماء. إنني أمد يدي لأعد.
- وماذا لو كانوا عشرة، عشرة أرواح فاضلة يا مولاي؟ وماذا لو كانوا خمسة؟
- أغلق فمك الصفيق يا إبراهيم.
- ارحمنا يا مولاي. لست عادلاً فقط. أنت طيب أيضاً. ولو كنت عادلاً فقط لحدث الويل.لضعنا كلنا. لكنك طيب يا مولاي ولهذا ما يزال الناس قادرين على الوقوف في الهواء.
- لا تركع وأنت تمد يدك للإمساك بركبتيَ. فليس لدي ركبتان. ولا تبدأ النواح لكي تمس قلبي إذ لا قلب لي. أنا صارم، قطعة جامدة من الغرانيت الأسود ولا يمكن ليد أن تطبع لمستها عليَ. لقد وصلت إلى قراري . سأحرق سدوم وعمورة.
- لا تتسرع يا مولاي. لم العجلة حين تكون مسألة قتل؟ انتظر لقد وجدت واحدة!
- ما الذي وجدته وأنت تنقب في التراب أيتها الدودة؟
- روح فاضلة.
- من؟
- لوط. ابن أخي هارون.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Report to Greco
“The cripple gave him a look. 'I remember that just yesterday you told me I was a cretin and a fool and a disgrace to the memory of my ancestors.'
'Academic hyperbole.' Morg dismissed the complaint with the wave of one hand.'It was merely enthusiastic encouragement, I assure you.'
'Perhaps overenthusiastic would be a more accurate description' muttered the cripple.”

In a Glass GrimmlyBookQuoters 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.
