“–Aprender cuesta lágrimas, dolor y sufrimiento. Esto es justo porque el hombre no puede comprender a Dios cuando es joven, feliz e ignorante. Solo puede conocer a Dios por medio del dolor propio y del de los demás.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician

“–Observarás las mismas señales en gente afligida como este. ¿Por qué debe un hombre despreciar su carne y la carne de los demás, cuando es una maravillosa invención de Dios y puede ser más bella que ninguna otra cosa viviente? Es por medio de la carne como nos comunicamos con otros. Los hombres como Diomedes no desean comunicación. Solo desean adulación y obediencia a su excelente intelecto. A los padres que tienen hijos como este yo les digo: «Enseñad a vuestros hijos a amar, a dar, y educadlos en la obediencia de Dios».”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician

“High heels, I'm convinced, are a creation of the Void and intended only to torture my poor unfortunate soles.”
― Sara Ella, quote from Unraveling

“Love shouldn’t feel like added weight. It should make you feel as light as air.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Too Late

“You’re only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You’ve done something.”
― Robert T. Kiyosaki, quote from Rich Dad Poor Dad

“Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time the wish to kill-though not the will to kill.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from Curtain: Poirot's Last Case

“Dad takes a step back, one hand still on my shoulder, and reaches into his pocket. He draws out a little blue capsule, and I feel every molecule in my body screaming to run. Dad must catch the panic in my eyes - he squeezes my shoulder and holds out the capsule. "Cas, it's fine. It's going to be fine. This is just in case."

Just in case. Just in case the worst happens. The ship falls. Durga fails, I fail, and the knowledge I carry as a Reckoner trainer must be disposed of. That information can't fall into the wrong hands, into the hands of people who will do anything to take down our beasts.

So this little capsule holds the pill that will kill me if it comes to that.

"It's waterproof," Dad continues, pressing it into my hand. "The pocket on the collar of your wetsuit, keep it there. It has to stay with you at all times."

It won't happen on this voyage. It's such a basic mission, gift-wrapped to be easy enough for me to handle on my own. But even holding the pill fills me with revulsion. On all my training voyages, I've never had to carry one of these capsules. That burden only goes to full-time trainers.

"Cas." Dad tilts my chin up, ripping my gaze from the pull. "You were born to do this. I promise you, you'll forget you even have it." I suppose he ought to know - he's been carrying one for two decades.

It's just a right of passage, I tell myself, and throw my arms around his neck once more.”
― Emily Skrutskie, quote from The Abyss Surrounds Us

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.
