“Sometimes love was not about winning, but about wise sacrifice and the realiability of friends like Arianne. Friendship, Roland realized, was its very own kind of love.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“When one lover suffered from a broken heart, no matter how badly the other wanted to help, she couldn't be the one to heal it.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Sometimes love needed a lift from its guardian angels, to get its feet off the ground. But once it made its first early beats toward flight, it had to be trusted to take wing on its own and soar past the highest conceivable heights, into the heavens-and beyond.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Roland, love means not being afraid to let yourself go, trusting that I will desire everything you have to offer. -Rosaline (Roland's love)”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“As far as possible, Arianne realized, each soul had to be content alone before plunging into love, because one never knew when the other would move out of that love. It was the greatest paradox: Souls need each other, but they also need to not need each other.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Friendship, Roland realized, was its very own kind of love.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Luce had to fight every urge in her body not to run into his arms. He was breathtaking: a knight in shining armor to outshine any fairy-tale knight.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Si no puedo tenerte, no quiero nada.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Mortals could rarely recognize their true feelings before those true feelings hit them in the face”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Luce watched Lucinda’s posture change, a
smile stretching across her face at the sight
of Daniel.
And Luce felt that same smile on her own
face. Their bodies might be different, their
daily lives
looked nothing alike, but when it came to
Daniel, their shared soul aligned completely.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Maybe love was lying to yourself.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“I didn’t do it to you, I did it to her. Maybe
your past self thinks it’s funny.”
“She doesn’t.”
“That’s not my fault. Besides, I’m not a mind
reader. You expect me to realize you’re
speaking on behalf of all Lucindas ever, every time you talk.
You never said anything about not razzing
your past lives. It’s all in good fun. For me, anyway.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“And even when she had no idea what she was doing, she always did the right thing. It was impressive”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Y, en ese momento bajo las estrellas, los cuatro entendieron lo más simple. A veces, el amor necesita un impulso de sus ángeles de la guarda para mantener los pies sobre la tierra. Pero una vez se emprende el vuelo, deben confiar en sus propias alas, para subir a las más elevadas e inimaginables alturas en el cielo... y más allá,”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“Now if they could just not get lost in these woods on their way back to their dorm. Shelby looked toward what she hoped was west and”

“I’ve been a bit worried about my maleness lately, somewhere along the line I seem to have picked up too many female hormones.”

“Those who crusade not for God in themselves but against the devil in others, never succeed in leaving the world better, but leave it as it was or sometimes even perceptibly worse than it was before the crusade began.”

“But, stop and think. What does the word ‘witch’ truly mean?” “Why—” said Tom, and was stymied. “Wits,” said Moundshroud. “Intelligence. That’s all it means. Knowledge. So any man, or woman, with half a brain and with inclinations toward learning had his wits about him, eh? And so, anyone too smart, who didn’t watch out, was called—” “A witch!” said everyone. “And some of the smart ones, the ones with wits, pretended at magic, or dreamed themselves with ghosts and dead shufflers and ambling mummies. And if enemies dropped dead by coincidence, they took credit for it. They liked to believe they had power, but they had none, boys, none, sad and sorry, ’tis true. But”

“Would you like me to magically strip you and put you in gear?” Mr. Fell asked. “In front of everybody?”
“That would be a thrill for everybody, I’m sure,” said Matthew. Ragnor Fell wiggled his fingers, and green sparks spat from his fingertips. James was pleased to see Matthew actually take a step back. “Might be too thrilling for a Wednesday,” Matthew said. “I’ll go put on my gear then, shall I?”
“Do,” said Ragnor.”

Year of WondersBookQuoters 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.
