“Lucian’s voice rang inside my head, loud and clear, “Move your ass, Elena, and no matter what, trust your reflexes.” Relying on my clumsy butt was more like it. I’d made a joke, That was a good sign.”
― Adrienne Woods, quote from Firebolt
“It wasn’t the first time I played on death’s porch, but it didn’t mean that I was used to it either. It was weird how in the movies your whole life okays out in slow motion. It was nothing like that. It was horrible.”

“And in that unlikely moment, as she held his dagger poised high, ready to strike, Royce Westmoreland thought she was the most magnificent creature he'd ever beheld; a wild, beautiful, enraged angel of retribution, her chest rising and falling with fury as she courageously confronted an enemy who towered over her.”

“You aren't a hero and I'm not beautiful and we probably won't live happily ever after " she said. "But we're alive and together and we're going to be all right.”

“И что же, вы думаете, они настолько безумны, чтобы, захватив мировое господство, пощадить человека? Вы считаете, что они повторят историческую ошибку человека, которую он допускал с незапамятных времен, — покорять поверженные им нации и классы, вместо того чтобы их истреблять? Человек из чувства гордыни постоянно создавал новые различия между людьми, чтобы затем, обуянный великодушием и идеализмом, снова и снова пытаться их преодолеть. Нет, утверждал Вольф Мейнерт, такой исторической нелепицы саламандры не допустят, хотя бы потому, что ознакомятся с предостережением в моей книге! Они станут наследниками всей человеческой цивилизации; владельцами всего, что делали мы, чего мы стремились достичь, пытаясь покорить мир; но они стали бы врагами себе, если бы вместе со всем этим наследием они захотели бы оставить в живых и нас. Если саламандры хотят сохранить свою однородность, им необходимо избавиться от людей. Если они не сделают этого, рано или поздно мы распространим среди них свойственную нам разрушительную двойственность: способность создавать различия, а затем страдать от них. Но не стоит этого опасаться: сегодня очевидно, что ни одно существо, которое продолжит за человека его историю, не будет повторять его самоубийственных сумасбродств.”

Other Colors: Essays...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.
