Quotes from Dragon's Keep

“Tell me where you’re taking me.” “I take you nowhere, Princess,” he called back. “It’s you who follows me.”
― Janet Lee Carey, quote from Dragon's Keep

“If a girl were asked which part of a plant she would be, would any choose the root? Blindly clutching the dark earth, never seeing sun nor feeling wind? Toiling there to feed the stem and flower with never a thank-you from them? And who would choose to be the thorn? Thorns protect the plant from pluckers, but who gives honor to them? Nay, any girl would choose to be the bud, opening to the sun, fragrant and beautiful, tickled by bees and butterflies, and looked upon with love.”
― Janet Lee Carey, quote from Dragon's Keep

“The real dragon haunted my head and heart.”
― Janet Lee Carey, quote from Dragon's Keep

“Why do you weep?” “The pain,” I said, and it was true, but it was not of my wounds I spoke.”
― Janet Lee Carey, quote from Dragon's Keep

“My heart was already cracked, but this one word, gone, was the stone that broke it.”
― Janet Lee Carey, quote from Dragon's Keep

About the author

Popular quotes

“He is the straight to video sequel to your summer hit movie. He is the verse to that song on the radio you have to hum cause you can’t remember the words. You couldn’t break this kid’s heart, he is so far beyond that. This is the kind of kid who blew out the candles on hope all alone for too many birthdays to remember. And no one has ever fallen in love with anyone with a smile that’s dripping with “please die”.”
― Pete Wentz, quote from The Boy With The Thorn In His Side

“Is courage just the awareness that gestures, journeys, lives have intrinsic shape, and must, one way or another, be completed?”
― Peter Behrens, quote from The Law of Dreams

“Maybe that's what love is-counting the bandages until someone says, 'Enough'.”
― Dennis Lehane, quote from Un dernier verre avant la guerre

“I am about to stop being a get-along kind of guy and turn into somebody who makes a difference.”
― James Howe, quote from The Misfits

“Yer love for 'im is so obvious. 'Tis sweet to see, it is!" "Becky!" The girl, still grinning, had shrugged. "Ye can't hide it, ye know. And Oi'll wager yer man — charmin', kind, an' 'andsome as 'e is — is a real easy one to love." "Well yes, he is, but — it's just that —"  Juliet had turned as pink as Swanthorpe's brick and looked away, suddenly flustered. "I guess it's just rather difficult to admit my feelings, even to myself." But Becky had merely laughed knowingly. "'Well, then, maybe ye'd better admit 'em, 'cause it's plain that yer man's roight in love with you, 'e is!”
― Danelle Harmon, quote from The Wild One

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.
