Quotes from Dawn

“This is not an end. It is a beginning. You will need the courage of a lion to face this journey.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

“Our father was a great warrior. Our mother is proud and strong. They shared only one flaw: that their only loyalty was to themselves above all other cats. We're not like that. We understand what it means to be loyal to our Clan. We have the courage to live by the warrior code. And because of that we'll be the most powerful cats in RiverClan one day, and our Clanmates will have to respect us then.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

“More water will flow before we join StarClan. This is not an end. This is a beginning. You will need the courage of a lion to face this journey.”

“I would like to choose my own warrior name. If it is all right, I wish to be known as Crowfeather.” Crowpaw spoke so quietly, his voice was almost lost in the pounding water. “I wish to keep alive the memory of . . . of the cat who did not return from the first journey.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

“The boundaries between the Clans run deep,” Cinderpelt reminded her. “Traditions are all we have to cling to.”

― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

“Brambleclaw drew his tail over his paws with a resigned sigh. “Well, there are lots of sheep, which are fluffy white woolly things that look a bit like clouds on legs. They’re harmless, but you’ll need to watch out for dogs when you see them, because the Twolegs use them to control the sheep.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

― Erin Hunter, quote from Dawn

Popular quotes

“A woman can always strive to be stronger in the face of painful emotions.”
― Morgan Rhodes, quote from Crystal Storm

“Many women think their husbands are not worth the effort. They feel they are forced to humble themselves in order to love him when he is the guilty party. Do not be deceived. When a woman is willing to forgive and win back her husband’s affection, she is winning more than just his affection. Once a man comes to his senses and sees how close he came to losing all that he holds dear, he will be profoundly thankful to the good woman who loved him through his foolishness. She will win his respect as well as his love, because he will know that she is the kind of woman who will stand by her man. Few”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet

“لقد فكرت بما فيه الكفاية بأنّ حياتنا البشرية ترتكز أساساً على بعض المعطيات التي نسلّم بها جدلاً. فالطفل يسلّمُ بوالديه وبيته ثم بلده ومجتمعه. فنحن في حاجة إلى هذه المستندات كي تكون بداية لنا. فالطفل اليتيم أو المشرّد يترعرع والشعور بانعدام الأمن يزداد عنده. أما الطفل الذي يتربّى في منزل جيّد، فإنّه قد يتعلم في مراحل متقدمة انتقاد والديه أو حتى رفضهما بالرغم من ضآلة هذا الاحتمال، إلا أنّه لايقدم على ذلك إلا عندما يكون من القوة بحيث يستطيع الوقوف على قدميه وحده.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites

“Our goals were redundancy and mutual support.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer

“Switch on the light, she said, I want to know if this is real.”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon

About BookQuoters

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.
