“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».”

“Permitidme que os invite a un trago antes de la guerra.”
― Dennis Lehane, quote from Un dernier verre avant la guerre
“Because when you get down to it, thinking of somebody as 100% human seriously gets in the way of hating them.”
― James Howe, quote from The Misfits
“His gaze was darkening now with something deep and gentle, and Juliet knew, as women throughout time have always known, that he was in love with her. The knowledge both thrilled and scared her.”
― Danelle Harmon, quote from The Wild One
“I have heard that sometimes when a person has an operation to transplant someone else's heart or liver or kidney into his body, his tastes in foods change, or his favorite colors, as if the organ has brought with it some memory of its life before, as if it holds within it a whole past that must find a place within its new host. This is the way I carry Lexy inside me. Since the moment she took up residency within me, she has lent her own color to the way I see and hear and taste, so that by now I can barely distinguish between the world as it seemed before and the way it seems now. I cannot say what air tasted like before I knew her or how the city smelled as I walked its streets at night. I have only one tongue in my head and one pair of eyes, and I stopped being able to trust them a long time ago.”
― Carolyn Parkhurst, quote from The Dogs of Babel

Halo: The Fall of Re...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.
