“Corrupt citizens breed corrupt rulers, and it is the mob who finally decides when virtue shall die.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“The more wants a man has, the less freedom.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“. . . a statement that is repugnant to one's beliefs can be as true as one that is pleasurable.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“God is never absent from the affairs of men, though we are not conscious of Him very often.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“If a nation has not God that nation must fall, but if a nation has God then all the powers of evil, and all the armies, cannot shake its foundations; no, not even if the whole world is arrayed against it.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“No man is more abhorred than a man who is different from his neighbors. They feel violated and threatened if one dares to be as they are not.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“«Non omnis moriar [No moriré del todo]».”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“–Todos los hombres son esclavos. Ellos lo han querido así. Solo Dios puede liberarlos. Él, que les dio la libertad en el nacimiento, aunque ellos hayan renunciado siempre a ella y siempre renuncien.”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“«Los ciudadanos corrompidos incuban gobernantes corruptos, y es la multitud la que, a fin de cuentas, decide cuándo ha de morir la virtud».”
― Taylor Caldwell, quote from Dear and Glorious Physician
“–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».”

“They are afraid of him?’ D’Harcourt raised his comedian’s eyebrows.
Danny Hislop’s bright teeth flashed in his hairless, unremarkable face. ‘If they were afraid, they’d tear him to pieces like schoolgirls. My guess is that he’s gorgeous. A terrible tease and nasty at moments, but oh Maeve, he has such a way with him.… Is he gorgeous, dear Adam?’
Adam Blacklock, thus addressed, said quietly, ‘Undoubtedly gorgeous.”
― Dorothy Dunnett, quote from The Ringed Castle
“Anxiety and anticipation, I was to learn, are the essential ingredients in suffering from pain, as opposed to feeling pain pure and simple.”
― Lucy Grealy, quote from Autobiography of a Face
“They had kilts on instead of pants, but you just didn’t see six feet-plus of immortal warrior panicking about anything often, but panicking in a kitchen with pots in their hands and the oven open while they peered inside in a puzzled manner was a very special and endearing type of panic.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, quote from Divine Misdemeanors
“My eyes widened as I took in Rafe and Prest. Rafe seemed fine, but Prest. . . "Prest, you shaved your head!" Those long black braids were gone. Prest's bald head gleamed in the light.
He shrugged and ran a hand over his baldness. "Easier to shave." He flashed me a smile. "It grows back.
"Eventually," Rafe added. "Until then, I will need to protect my eyes from the glare.”

The Illuminatus! Tri...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.
