“Sicarius had the personality of a particularly bland, pointy stick.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Why, Sicarius, is it possible you have a playful side beneath your razor-edged knives, severe black clothing and humourless glares?”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Sicarius, as usual, regarded her with the blandness of a particularly featureless rock, then walked away.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Then I guess Sicarius will have to follow you around all night, hovering over your shoulder while you eat. Breathing down your neck. Sharing your salad. Hogging your croutons.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Sicarius wore his usual guess-my-thoughts-if-you-can-mask, though she sensed he did not approve.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“You know...” Amaranthe dumped her dust pile outside and returned to face him. “It’s hard for me to maintain my vigor and enthusiasm for leading you when you do nothing but stand there and ooze disapproval at me.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“No, no.” Amaranthe lifted a hand. “You needn’t let me know you think my idea has promise. It’s been nearly three months since the last time I almost got myself killed, so I’m brimming with self-confidence. I don’t need bolstering.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Oh, no," Maldynado said. "When I get my statue, I don't want it to be an image of me going up a squid's butt.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“You didn't think you’d find a Science-savvy mercenary team in the empire without a few eccentricities, did you?” Amaranthe asked.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“No self-respecting snoop sneaks in before midnight anyway.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“One who has a personality that grates like glass paper should probably choose footwear sufficient for fleeing from irritated people.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Er, she hated it when she was trying to be morally superior and someone pointed out that her idea was only slightly less sketchy.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“No more procrastinating. As grandpa used to say, “Cleaning a fish don’t get any more pleasant for having put the task off.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“Mischievous branches tugged at her hat and rained leaves onto her shoulders. She dusted them off. As much as she liked the idea of nature, it was difficult to maintain a tidy appearance when surrounded by it.”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“You’re stealthier than a cat’s shadow. You can’t possibly expect me to notice you when you’re lurking.” “Perhaps you have not been assiduous enough with your training.” “I can’t believe you’re blaming me for the fact that you’re a chronic eavesdropper.” “What did you expect from an assassin?” he”
― Lindsay Buroker, quote from Deadly Games
“You either gain immortality through having children or you earn it by becoming someone history remembers.”

― Jeff Kinney, quote from Old School
“This doesn't work. Being apart destroys us. I can't live without you Blake. I can barely survive a night without you. How am I supposed to risk losing you for a lifetime?”
― Meredith Wild, quote from Hardline
“Will power is the answer. Will power. No white bread, no Nestle's Crunch bars... I flinched and felt the last of the bars melting in my pockets.
На все вопросы ответ один — сила воли! Исключительно сила воли. Никаких булок, никаких шоколадных плиток… Я моргнул и почувствовал, как последняя из шоколадок тает у меня в кармане.”
― Ray Bradbury, quote from Death Is a Lonely Business
“[I]n Africa I was a member of a family—of a sort of family that the people of your culture haven't known for thousands of years. If gorillas were capable of such an expression, they would tell you that their family is like a hand, of which they are the fingers. They are fully aware of being a family but are very little aware of being individuals. Here in the zoo there were other gorillas—but there was no family. Five severed fingers do not make a hand.”
― Daniel Quinn, quote from Ismael
“You can’t force people to stay in your life, so be thankful for the people who choose to stay.

FrostfireBookQuoters 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.
