- Gwendolyn”

― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Und es herrschte Totenstille im Raum", flüsterte Xemerius vom Kronleuchter. "Alle Augen ruhten auf dem Mädchen in der pissgelben Bluse..."
Argh, er hatte recht. Ich ärgerte mich, dass ich mich vorhin nicht noch schnell geduscht und umgezogen hatte -- die Blöde Schuluniform war so ziemlich das am wenigsten Kleidsame, das ich besaß. Aber wer hätte auch ahnen können, dass ich heute Abend noch mal Besuch bekommen würde? Und zwar Besuch, bei dem mir mein Aussehen wichtig war?
"Hi", sagte Gideon und lächelte zum ersten Mal, seit er den Raum betreten hatte.
Ich lechelte verlegen zurück. "Hi, Gollum."
Gideons Lächeln vertiefte sich.
Selbst die Schatten an den Wänden verstummten, während die beiden einander anschauten, als hätten sie sich gerade auf ein Pupskissen gesetzt", sagte Xemerius und flatterte vom Kronleuchter hinter uns her. "Romantische Geigenmusik setzte ein, dann taperten sie nebeneinander her, das Mädchen mit der pissgelben Bluse und der Junge, der dringend Mal wieder zum Friseur müsste.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Cuando me besas, Gwendolyn Shepherd, es como si perdiera el contacto con el suelo. No tengo ni idea de cómo lo haces ni de dónde lo has aprendido. En todo caso, si ha sido en una película, tenemos que verla juntos. Lo que quiero decir es que cuando me besas, ya no quiero hacer nada más que sentirte y tenerte entre mis brazos. ¡Mierda, estoy tan terriblemente enamorado de ti que es como si hubieran volcado una lata de gasolina en mi interior y le hubieran prendido fuego!”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Te quiero, Gwendolyn; por favor, no me dejes”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Ich wollte meine Augen öffnen, um Gideon ein letztes Mal anzusehen, aber ich schaffte es nicht.
"Ich liebe dich, Gwenny, bitte verlass mich nicht", sagte Gideon, und das war das letzte, was ich hörte, bevor ich von einem großen Nichts verschluckt wurde.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“—En el comedor se hizo un silencio sepulcral—susurró Xemerius desde la araña—. Todas las miradas apuntaban a la muchacha de la blusa amarillo pipí...”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Wenn du mich küsst, Gwendolyn Shepherd, dann ist das so, als würde ich den Kontakt zum Boden verlieren. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie du das machst oder wo du es gelernt hast. Wenn du mich küsst, dann will ich nichts anderes mehr, als dich zu spüren und in meinen Armen zu halten. Scheiße, ich bin so schrecklich in dich verliebt, dass es sich anfühlt, als hätte irgendwo in meinem Inneren jemand einen Kanister mit Benzin ausgekippt und angezündet! Gwenny, das alles macht mir furchtbare Angst. Ohne dich würde mein Leben keinen Sinn mehr haben, ohne dich... ich würde auf der Stelle sterben wollen, wenn dir etwas zustieße.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“You mean he's not afraid of me because I'm a woman? He ought to see Tomb Raider sometime. For all he knows, I could have a nuclear bomb under my dress and a hand grenade in each cup of my bra. I call it antifeminist!”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“—Oh, por Dios —gimió—. Si fueras un programa de la televisión, cambiaría ahora mismo de canal. -Xemerius”

“Did you know that Gideon and I were trained in Krav Maga?" Charlotte took another step closer to me, and I automatically took one back.
"No, but did /you/ know that at this moment you look like that crazy rodent in Ice Age?”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Sí, claro. Algún día saldrás citada en los calendarios de todo el mundo —dije—. «Los corazones no se pueden partir de ningún modo porque son de mazapán». Brillante metáfora de la eminente Leslie Hay.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Mi corazón se desbocó y luego dejó de palpitar un instante. ¡Fantástico! Mi corazón podía aguantar tranquilamente una estocada, pero Gideon era demasiado para él .Gwen”

“‹‹Si bien en el presente el pasado ya ha sucedido, es preciso extremar la prudencia para no poner en peligro lo presente a través de lo pasado al hacerlo presente>>”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“I'll just do a round around of the house and make sure the rest of the family are fast asleep. We don't want that sharp-nosed aunt of yours catching us when we find the diamonds." "What diamonds?" "Think positive for once...Which would you rather, diamonds or the remains of a murdered maidservant? It's all a question of attitude.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“I can take criticism. Or at least, I can if you put it nicely.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Odd that a broken heart can beat at all, come to think of it.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green

― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Hearts are made of something much tougher. It's unbreakable, and you can reshape it anytime you like. Hearts are made to a secret formula.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“When you kiss me, Gwyneth, I feel I’m losing touch with the ground. I don’t know how you do it or where you learnt the trick of it. If it was from a film, well, we just have to go and see it together.” He stopped for a moment. “What I really want to say is, when you kiss me, all I want is to feel you and hold you in my arms. Hell, I’m so in love with you that it feels like someone had emptied a can of gasoline somewhere inside me and set fire to it! But right now, we can’t . . . we have to keep a cool head. Or one of us, anyway.” The look he gave me finally put an end to my doubts. “Gwenny, all this terrifies me. Without you, there’d be no sense in my life anymore . . . I’d want to die if anything happened to you.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“»Schschscht«, machte Gideon. »Alles ist gut, Gwenny. Ich bin bei dir.«
»Ja, du bist bei mir«, sagte ich und wiederholte gleich noch einmal, wie ein beruhigendes Mantra. »Du bist bei mir du bist bei mir du bist bei mir.«”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Der Kreis des Blutes Vollendung findet,
Der Stein der Weisen die Ewigkeit bindet.
Im Kleid der Jugend wächst neue Kraft,
Bringt dem, der den Zauber trägt, unsterbliche Macht.
Doch achte, wenn der zwölfte Stern geht auf,
Das Schicksal des Irdischen nimmt seinen Lauf.
Die Jugend schmilzt, die Eiche ist geweiht
Dem Untergang in Erdenzeit.
Nur wenn der zwölfte Stern erbleicht,
Der Adler auf ewig sein Ziel erreicht.
Drum wisse, ein Stern verglüht vor Liebe gequält,
Wenn sein Niedergang ist frei gewählt.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“- Restons amis !
Cette phrase était vraiment pire que tout.
- Je suis sûre qu'une fée meurt à chaque fois qu'on prononce ces mots quelque part, dis-je.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green
“Don’t be scared,” said a voice behind me.
Those must certainly fall into the category of Famous Last Words, the sort that are the last thing you hear before your death. (Along with “it isn’t loaded” and “he only wants to play.”) Of course I was terrible scared.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Emerald Green

“I will tell you something about stories, [he said] They aren’t just entertainment. Don’t be fooled. They are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death. You don’t have anything if you don’t have the stories. Their evil is mighty but it can’t stand up to our stories. So they try to destroy the stories let the stories be confused or forgotten. They would like that They would be happy Because we would be defenseless then.”
― Leslie Marmon Silko, quote from Ceremony
“The overthrowing of slavery, then, is through the transformation of men and women by the gospel rather than through merely changing an economic system. We've all seen what can happen when you merely overthrow an economic system and impose a new order. The whole communist dream was the have a 'revolutionary man' followed by the 'new man.' Trouble is, they never found the 'new man.' They got rid of the oppressors of the peasants, but that didn't mean the peasants were suddenly free--they were just under a new regime of darkness. In the final analysis, if you want lasting change, you've got to transform the hearts of human beings. And that was Jesus' mission.”
― Lee Strobel, quote from The Case for Christ
“I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers in their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever known. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, quote from The Moon and Sixpence

Citizen of the Galax...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.
