“Newt Scamander : "My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.”
“Jacob: Newt . . . I don't think I'm dreaming.
Newt: What gave it away?
Jacob: I ain't got the brains to make this up.”
“See, they're currently in alien terrain, surrounded by millions of the most vicious creatures on the planet. Humans. - Newt Scamander”
“Jacob: Tell me — has anyone ever believed you when you told them not to worry?
Newt: My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.”
“Mary Lou: Are you a seeker? A seeker after truth?
a beat.
Newt: I'm more of a chaser, really.”
“Queenie: People are easiest to read when they're hurting.”
“My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.”
“Tina: Can you please tell me you took care of the No-Maj?
Newt: The what?
Tina: The No-Maj! No-magic — the non-wizard!
Newt: Oh sorry, we call them Muggles.”
“Newt: I think you'll find the best wizarding school in the world is Hogwarts!
Queenie: HOGWASH.”
“Hey, Mr English guy! I think your egg is hatching. - Jacob Kowalski”
“Tina: Oh, keep him? We don't keep them! Mr. Scamander, do you know anything about the wizarding community in America?
Newt: I do know a few things, actually. I know you have rather backwards laws about relations with non-magic people. That you're not meant to befriend them, that you can't marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me.”
“GRINDELWALD
Will we die, just a little?”
“Queenie: (trying to cheer him up) I'll come with you. We'll go somewhere - we'll go anywhere - see I ain't never gonna find anyone like -
Jacob: (bravely) There's loads like me.
Queenie: No... no...there's only one like you.”
“Mrs. Esposito (O.S.): That you, Tina?
Tina: Yes, Mrs. Esposito!
Mrs. Esposito (O.S.): Are you alone?
Tina: I'm always alone, Mrs. Esposito!”
“Tina: Tell me the truth — was that everything that came out of the case?”
“ Blonde Queenie, the most beautiful girl ever to don witches' robes, is standing in a silk slip, supervising the mending of a dress on a dressmaker's dummy. Jacob is thunderstruck. ”
“ A beat as Queenie drinks the whole story out of Newt's head. She looks both intrigued and saddened. Newt continues to work, trying hard to pretend Queenie isn't reading his mind. ”
“I do know a few things, actually. I know you have rather backwards laws about relations with non-magic people. That you're not mean to befriend them, that you can't marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me.”
“MODESTY My momma, your momma, gonna catch a witch My momma, your momma, flying on a switch My momma, your momma, witches never cry My momma, your momma, witches gonna die! As”
“NEWT: Now there's absolutely nothing for you to worry about.
JACOB: Tell me - has anyone ever believed you when you told them not to worry?
NEWT: My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.”
“I’m more of a chaser, really. ANGLE”
“My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice”
“NEWT
Es ist meine Überzeugung, dass, wer sich sorgt, zwei Mal leidet.”
“In spite of everything, he still felt wonderful, like I was embracing a mountain. But I now knew that as solid as he seemed, he was no mountain.”
“Softly the breezes from the forest came,
Softly they blew aside the taper's flame;
Clear was the song from Philomel's far bower;
Grateful the incense from the lime-tree flower;
Mysterious, wild, the far-heard trumpet's tone;
Lovely the moon in ether, all alone:
Sweet too, the converse of these happy mortals,
As that of busy spirits when the portals
Are closing in the west; or that soft humming
We hear around when Hesperus is coming.
Sweet be their sleep.”
“I’m just really glad to hear that things are going well.”
“Wait, you’re not getting ready to hang up on me, are you?” he asks. “We’ve only been talking for a couple minutes.”
“Well, I don’t really have much else to say.”
“Are you kidding? The possibilities are endless. For starters, you could tell me that you’ll call me again. Or, better yet, you could ask me out for coffee or a slice of pizza. Of course, letting me know that I can call you whenever I want is always a good possibility. Or, if you’re feeling really generous, you could tell me that you miss me, too. I mean, I wouldn’t even care if it was a lie.”
“You can call me Boss though, seeing as though you're only the assistant.”
“We were like matching bookends, almost touching but with volumes between us and stories, so many stories.”
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.
