“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.”
“Sometimes I think about what it would be like if there was actual peace. The whole planet would be super sustainable: windmills everywhere, solar paneled do-bops, clean streets. Before the world freezes and goes dark, it would be perfect. The generation flying its tiny cars would think itself special. Until one day, vaguely, quietly, the sun would flicker out and they'd realized that none of us are. Or that all of us are.”
“Tail held high, Brokentail’s tiny sister pattered forward into the circle to stand beside him. “I give you a life for love of kin,” she mewed, the wisdom in her voice startling Yellowfang as it came from so small a body. “And as Clan leader, remember that every Clan cat is your kin.”
“It's good to keep changing your mind. It shows you're thinking. I'll only stop changing my mind when I'm dead. And maybe not even then.”
“miss him?” Another slow sip. “How can you not miss Rake once you’ve played for him? I see his face every day. I hear his voice. I can smell him sweating. I can feel him hitting me, with no pads on. I can imitate his growl, his grumbling, his bitching. I remember his stories, his speeches, his lessons. I remember all forty plays and all thirty-eight games when I wore the jersey. My father died four years ago and I loved him dearly, but, and this is hard to say, he had less influence on me than Eddie Rake.”
“To the degree that Lawrence's face was familiar, it was killingly so - as if she had been gradually getting to know him for over nine years and then, bang, he was known.”
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.
