“The world,” Aelin said, “will be saved and remade by the dreamers, Rolfe.”
“Even when this world is a forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will always love you.”
“He was hers and she was his and they had found each other across centuries of bloodshed and loss, across oceans and kingdoms and war.”
“It is not such a hard thing, is it - to die for your friends.”
“You will find, Rolfe, that one does not deal with Celaena Sardothien. One survives her”
“Aelin Galathynius had raised an army not just to challenge Morath, but to rattle the stars.”
“The useless sentries in the watchtower are now all half in love with you,” he lied. “One said he wanted to marry you.”
A low snarl. He yielded a foot but held eye contact with her as he grinned. “But you know what I told them? I said that they didn't stand a chance in hell. Because I am going to marry you,” he promised her. “One day. I am going to marry you. I'll be generous and let you pick when, even if it's ten years from now. Or twenty. But one day, you are going to be my wife.”
He shrugged. “Princess Lysandra Ashryver sounds nice, doesn't it?”
“I'd walk into the burning heart of hell itself to find you.”
“Where is Aelin.
Where is my wife?”
“Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen, knew the time would soon come to prove just how much she'd bleed for Erilea.”
“A court that wouldn't just change the world. It would start the world over.”
“The fear of loss . . . it can destroy you as much as the loss itself.”
“Aelin had promised herself, months and months ago, that she would not pretend to be anything but what she was. She had crawled through darkness and blood and despair-she had survived.”
“You know, you ladies can let us males do things every now and then.”
“Lorcan reached out, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. Hopeless, bleak eyes met his. He brushed away a stray tear with his thumb. “I made a promise to protect you. I will not break it, Elide.”
“I will always find you,” he swore to her.
Her throat bobbed.
Lorcan whispered, “I promise.”
“War is sanctioned murder, no matter what side you're on.”
“And tell Rowan,” Aelin said, fighting her own sob, “that I'm sorry I lied. But tell him it was all borrowed time anyway. Even before today, I knew it was all just borrowed time, but I still wish we'd had more of it.” She fought past her trembling mouth. “Tell him he has to fight. He must save Terrasen, and remember the vows he made to me. And tell him . . . tell him thank you—for walking that dark path with me back to the light.”
“Fireheart,” he said onto her mouth. “Buzzard,” she murmured onto his.”
“A storm is coming. A great storm.”
“Rowan’s always looking for an excuse to show off. Dramatic rescues give him purpose and fulfillment in his dull, immortal life.” There”
“Aelin was insane, Dorian realized. Brilliant and wicked, but insane.”
“There was no force in any world that could keep her contained.”
“I love you. There is no limit to what I can give to you, no time I need. Even when this world is a forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will love you.” Aelin”
“We'd better eat before we raise hell.”
“I love you. There is no limit to what I can give to you, no time I need. Even when this world is forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will love you.”
“Do not be afraid of what makes you shine brightly.”
“She was a force of nature. She was a calamity and a commander of immortal warriors of legend.”
“The Queen of Flame and Shadow, the Heir of Fire, Aelin of the Wildfire, Fireheart…”
“Rowan considered for a moment, and then said, "I have known many kings in my life, Dorian Havilliard. And it was a rare man indeed who asked for help when he needed it, who would put aside pride.”
“At a certain point, your life is more about your legacy to your kids than anything else.”
“Normal is a setting on a washing machine.”
“Bad things can happen to anyone at any time, whether you follow the rules or not.”
“A man doesn't have to be alive to start the fires of revolution.”
“...and David Wallace blinks in the midst of idly scanning class photos from his 1980 Aurora West H.S. yearbook and seeing my photo and trying, through the tiny little keyhole of himself, to imagine what all must have happened to lead up to my death in the fiery single-car accident he'd read about in 1991...”
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.
