“There's nothing like a mission to save the world to liven up a vacation.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“Well, what are we waiting for? ...She said 'children.' I bet that's anyone under a couple of centuries old. Let's go.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“A mouse slid out from under his hat and scrambled down his sleeve, across his lap, and down to the floor.
Nothing,' said Fenworth, 'should distract from a wizard's dignity.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“Fenworth nodded. "Yes, yes. Urgent, deadly, insidious. The world is in peril and we must rise against evil." The old wizard released the general and patted him on the shoulder. "Tea and cake first, don't you think?”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“Wouldn't it be most logical for her to change herself into a living thing, like a cat or dog, a bird or mouse?'
That would be the easiest transformation, but Risto is above doing something simple.'
Still, I'd be happier if Dibl would quit eating those bugs. Dibl, stop it. You might eat Gilda.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“Fenworth owned a world-famous library. More rooms held books than beds. Pillows stuffed in niches and comfortable chairs scattered throughout each room offered abundant paces to curl up and read.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“It's a wisdom that comes from seeing how things work. Things you want to happen always take a long time.' She pointed one little finger at the meech dragon and shook it in his face. 'You may read books and know bunches, but I have lived life longer than you.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest
“Well then,' said Femworth as he came to his feet, 'let's go. Sounds like a delightful challenge before supper. Stimulate the appetite, or kill it. Interesting either way.”
― Donita K. Paul, quote from DragonQuest

“Like every book I never wrote, it is by far the best book I have ever written.”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from The Everlasting Man
“The basic common denominator of all life is the urge to survive, and the survival of life on Planet Earth is achieved only as a shared initiative with and through all life-forms. Life is a joint effort; no 'man' separate from 'nature.' Homo sapiens as individuals and as species are as much a part of life's overall thrust for survival as any other species. As living organisms, we are part if the greater whole, and as such, we are embodied with exactly the same fundamental purpose: to survive. And to do so--as individuals, families, groups, and as a species--we have to live in dynamic collaboration with the plant and animal kingdoms in a healthy, life-sustaining environment.”
― Lawrence Anthony, quote from Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo
“Ставаше мъчна и даже неприятна за гледане. Седеше си там, върху стената на двора, да си смуче косите и да отговаря зле на всеки, който я доближаваше. „Ей, Бяло пиперче”, прегръщах я. И все едно прегръщах една непоколебима гордост, най-малко примамливата част от самата мен. Онази безкрайно твърда скала, която никога не би позволила някой да ме обича безрезервно. Себина бе в състояние да достигне до моята самота, бяхме еднакви. Високомерни и глупави. Залепваше се за врата ми, носех я у дома при майка й, краката, увиснали до тялото ни нагоре по стълбите. Вече оздравяла, мракът се беше разсеял. Никога не съм била от онези хора, имащи усет за децата, нямам това търпение, не говоря с детско гласче. Но Себина беше друг случай. Божи дар, предвестница на любовта. Виждам отново площадката, където спирах да си поема дух между етажите, защото тежеше, сивия вътрешен двор през високия лъскав прозорец, помръкващата вече светлина ... а на врата ми тя, нейният дъх, нейната мистерия.”
― Margaret Mazzantini, quote from Twice Born

The House of the Spi...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.
