“Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reasons to stay.” ~Dalai Lama”
― Erin Noelle, quote from Euphoria
“euphoria as a state of intense happiness and self-confidence, a blissful self-clarity if you will, and most people throughout their lives search and strive for this feeling. Why many never achieve it is because they never learn how to love themselves. When you discover the true beauty of self-love, then and only then, will you experience pure euphoria.”
― Erin Noelle, quote from Euphoria
“There were days that I really wished Evie had been there so that I could discuss my undying love for Lucien Knight, my hatred for girls named Bekah and Nan, and my secret desire to have Remington Tate’s babies, but instead I wrote down my thoughts about the books in letters to her.”
― Erin Noelle, quote from Euphoria
“clean later." After brewing a fresh pot of coffee and taking the guys their cups, I curled up on the couch next to Ash and dove into Emerge and followed Laney Walker in her search for love.”
― Erin Noelle, quote from Euphoria
“self-love was the greatest love. It was the only path to true happiness because in the end, if everyone else left, you had to be comfortable with just being you.”
― Erin Noelle, quote from Euphoria
“Oh! I’m going to do good things for my child. Balony! That’s all ego. Just work on yourself And: Everytime you work on yourself, you get calmer you hear more you sense more you are more you’re more present What are you offering a child? not a set of social roles passing in the night. . . . youre offering a child here and now — ness The treasure of consciousness The treasure of awareness.”
― Ram Dass, quote from Be Here Now
“Οι γονείς μας ποτέ δεν είναι άνθρωποι στα μάτια μας, ποτέ·είναι απλώς γνωρίσματα του χαρακτήρα, ιδιομορφίες της φωνής, άσχημες μύτες, καυτά δάκρυα, αχίλλιες πτέρνες, οι θολοί εφιάλτες μας. Όλα κληροδοτημένα, κι εμείς εγκλωβισμένοι σ' αυτά. Το δίλημμά μας είναι τρομερό: γύρνα και κοίταξε αυτή τη γυναίκα, κατανοήσέ την και λυπήσου την, συμπάθησέ την και μίλα της, αναγνώρισε ότι τα ψυχρά πεντακάθαρα δωμάτια μέσα στα οποία μεγάλωσε τα μετέτρεψε, μέσα στη μεγάλη και πληγωμένη της ίσως καρδιά, σε χώρους για ισόβιο οργασμό μαγειρέματος και κανακέματος και φροντίδας προκειμένου να κάνει τη μικρή γωνία του δικού της κόσμου ωραία και φιλόξενη, και τότε ο διαχωρισμός είναι πλήρης - όταν όμως συμβεί αυτό, εσύ πρέπει να είσαι ενήλικας. Μέσα στη σωσίβια λέμβο της ζωής σου υπάρχει χώρος μόνο για έναν, κι εσύ πάντα επιλέγεις τον εαυτό σου, και μετατρέπεις τους γονείς σου σε ό,τι χρειάζεσαι για να κρατηθείς στην επιφάνεια.”
― Anna Quindlen, quote from One True Thing
“...that in this town prostitutes may give sewing lessons to ladies of the church, pirates my be consulted for their opinions on seaworth by shipbuilders, Christians and Jews may stroll together on a Sunday, and Indians my play dice games with leatherstockings, but let one silver piece fall in a crack between two members of the same profession and it's bloody war.”
― Robert R. McCammon, quote from The Queen of Bedlam
“A child’s bonds with his or her mother are extremely powerful, so any negativity in the mother is being communicated to the child.”
― Lisa Gardner, quote from Live to Tell
“Yes, I still think of him as that, call him that. It's as real as any of his other names.”
― Mal Peet, quote from Tamar
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.
