“Rebuild your world, rebuild your race, rebuild your empire. Rebuild it all. But make sure you rebuild your ideals too. Rebuild the principles that made you a great and honorable galactic power in the first place. Don't prey on the weak. Don't steal from the helpless. Don't murder the innocent. Be a force for good, not a force for yourself.”
― Dan Abnett, quote from Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By
“That’s what I love about people. They have dreams and grand ambitions, and they start building towards them, even though they know they won’t live to see them finished. That’s how the pyramids were built.”
― Dan Abnett, quote from Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By
“Do I look evil? I can't do evil. I can barely pull off dangerous.”
― Dan Abnett, quote from Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By
“I have no idea, but I intend to retain a cautiously positive approach to the situation.”
― Dan Abnett, quote from Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By
“He realized that, despite the dangers and alarms of the day, waiting was perhaps the worst thing of all.”

“You used to say it was just me but now you're saying you did it with other girls before me. I thought I was special. You said you fell in love with me.' Thinking about this, I felt like a power source with too many of its outlets in use, like my whole brain was having a blackout.”
― Margaux Fragoso, quote from Tiger, Tiger: A Memoir
“She is all that is gracious, Her spirit is comely, The work of her hands is fair.”
― Ellen Kushner, quote from Thomas the Rhymer
“Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose further that he has taken irrevocable actions because of it. Finally suppose he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence that his belief is wrong. What will happen? The individual will frequently emerge not only unshaken but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed he may even show a new fervor for converting other people to his view.”
― Brooke Gladstone, quote from The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone on the Media
“Pop was her ideal of how a man should be, brave, gentle, comic, never losing his temper, never bragging, never complaining except in a joke, tolerant, understanding, intelligent, drinking a little too much as a good man should, and, to her eyes, very handsome.”
― Ernest Hemingway, quote from Green Hills of Africa
“Giving should be an act of stewardship. God is the source of everything we have (Jn 3:27; 1Co 4:7; 12:7–11), so in a sense we own nothing but are only stewards of what is rightfully God’s (1Pe 4:10). • Giving should be an act of worship (Ro 12:1). • Giving should be proportionate (1Co 16:1–2). • Giving should be voluntary (2Co 8:1–5, 11–12; 9:2). • Giving should be planned (2Co 9:3–5). • Giving should be cheerful (2Co 9:7). • Giving should be generous (2Co 8:2; 9:5, 11, 13).”

All the Pretty Horse...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.
