― Jenny Han, quote from Fire with Fire

― Jenny Han, quote from Fire with Fire

It has to end here. Now.”

“The words come out of my mouth, but they don’t sound like me. I don’t sound like me. Probably because I know it’s all lies. But I can see that they’re lies that Reeve believes. He swallows them whole. His eyes go blank. Empty. He completely shuts down.”
― Jenny Han, quote from Fire with Fire
“It still feels weird to spend money on Christmas trees. Back when Mom was alive, we’d go out “tree hunting.” That’s what she called it, anyway. I think other people might use the word “trespassing.”

“Reeve shakes his head and exhales loudly. “That’s not what I’m saying and you know it!” He looks away. “Can you just . . . can you go get dressed and come with me and we’ll talk about it later? My mom’s expecting you.”
― Jenny Han, quote from Fire with Fire
“Reevie . . . I feel wasted.” Her head sways from side to side, her hair hanging in her face. “Will you please take me home?”
I peer at her. She’s had, like, two beers. I’ve seen her finish a six-pack in under an hour and not get tipsy.”
― Jenny Han, quote from Fire with Fire

“... Cât despre liniile de fugă, ele nu constau niciodată în a fugi de lume, ci, mai degrabă, în a face lumea să fugă, să scape, să plesnească... și nu există sistem social care să nu scape pe la toate capetele sale, chiar dacă segmentele lui nu încetează să se întărească, să devină din ce în ce mai dure pentru a colmata liniile de fugă. Nimic imaginar sau simbolic într-o linie de fugă. Nimic mai activ decât o linie de fugă, la animal și la om. ... În fiecare moment, ce anume scapă, fuge într-o societate? Tocmai pe liniile de fugă se inventează noi arme, pentru a le opune marilor arme de stat... frecvent... un grup, un individ funcționează el însuși ca o linie de fugă; o creează mai curând decât o urmează, este mai curând el însuși arma vie pe care o meșterește decât o ia de la alții. Liniile de fugă sunt realități; și sunt extrem de periculoase pentru societăți, chiar dacă acestea nu pot să se lipsească de ele și uneori chiar le menajează. (Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari)”

“Look, Winged Wonder. Get me out of here, then we'll hammer out the details about where I'm staying. Okay?"
"Winged Wonder," he said, nodding. "I find that I do not mind that one. It fits."
"Captain Modesty fits better," she muttered.
"I disagree. Winged Wonder is clearly the better choice for a man such as me."

Shadow of the Hegemo...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.
