“My name is Echo. I dream of cats with stars in their fur. ”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Bluestar blinked. "There are cats who would argue that there should never have been a fifth Clan in the forest at all. Why are there four oaks at Fourtrees, if not to stand for the four Clans?"
Firestar gazed up at the massive oak trees, then back at Bluestar. Fury pure as a lighting flash rushed through his body. "Are you mouse-brained?" he snarled. "Are you telling me SkyClan had to leave because there weren't enough trees?”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“I will always be here. We will walk the skies together forever.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“StarClan may go where they please, they have betrayed SkyClan. From this day on, I will have nothing more to do with our warrior ancestors. StarClan allowed the Twolegs to destroy our home. They look down on us now, and let the moon go on shining while you drive us out. They said there would always be five Clans in the forest, but they lied. SkyClan will never look to the stars again.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest

A look of shock and dismay filled Bluestar's eyes.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“I am sorry I am the only cat left of what was once a noble Clan. I will try to preserve the way of the warrior until my last breath. But I fear that when I die it will die with me, and the memory of SkyClan will be lost forever.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Clovertail blocked the entrance and wouldn’t let any of them in,” Petal added. Firestar rested his tail on Clovertail’s shoulder. “Well done.” The she-cat rose painfully to her paws, revealing the marks of rat bites on her chest and shoulders. “You should go see Echosong,” Petalnose told her. “I can look after the kits.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Your Clan is safe for now. But there will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Spirits of cats who have gone before,” Moony mewed, “I am sorry I am the only cat left of what was once a noble Clan. I will try to preserve the way of the warrior until my last breath. But I fear that when I die it will die with me, and the memory of SkyClan will be lost forever.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest

― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Then he spotted Willowpelt diving from the top of a rock to streak across the ground and shove Sootpaw out of the way with outstretched forepaws. The badger landed heavily on her back; her shriek was cut off with a sickening crunch as the huge creature snapped her neck. It scooped up her limp body with one paw and tossed it into the clearing. Sootpaw”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“The tabby rogue bounded alongside the river until he reached the fallen tree that Sky had used to cross a few days before. Leading Firestar over to the far bank, Scratch started to climb another trail that led up the cliff face on the opposite side. Firestar panted after him, wishing he had the rogue’s powerful haunches. Scratch was a true SkyClan cat!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest

― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest

― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest

― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“And yet the only reason he had found the courage to lead the forest Clans into battle against BloodClan was because he had believed his warrior ancestors when they told him there had always been four Clans in the forest. The fifth Clan was StarClan, forever protecting the four below. Had StarClan lied? Bluestar”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“He and Sandstorm hunted and carried their fresh-kill back to the cave. But when he reached the entrance, Firestar stopped in surprise. The hollow in the cave floor was empty. Sky had gone.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Firestar saw a small, light brown tabby she-cat shouldering her way through the warriors until she reached the gray-and-white cat. “Let me speak to StarClan,” she begged. “They might know of a place for us.” The cat rounded on her. “No, Fawnstep!” he spat. “Our warrior ancestors have failed us. As far as we’re concerned, StarClan no longer exist.” He”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Even the kits were affected, boldly playing at rat attacks during the day, but scurrying back to the nursery at any unexpected noise. But”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Couldn’t StarClan do anything to help you?” he asked. “StarClan!” The SkyClan cat spat out the word, lashing his tail. “StarClan betrayed us. They allowed the other Clans to chase us out like rogues. When we left the forest, I vowed that I would never look to the stars again.” “A Clan without warrior ancestors?” Firestar was bewildered.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“Your Clan is safe for now. But there will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws.” Firestar stared at the old warrior. “I don’t understand. Why are you telling me this?” There”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Firestar's Quest
“At nearly three in the morning sleepiness weighted my body as we lay there together so still. I heard his breathing even out as we both hovered in that place between wake and sleep. And then his hand wandered lazily down my back and over my hip until he was cupping the full curve of my behind, part of me that he’d actively avoided touching all night.
Scratch that sleepy thing.
His firm hands clutched me closer and I breathed a heady gust of air at his throat. I’d been careful all night not to be too vocal about how good his touches felt. I knew each noise would act as fuel, making it even harder for him. He rolled to his back, pulling me on top of him with both hands fully on my backside now.
“Kaidan,” I whispered.
Looking half-asleep, he shushed me with a hot kiss, pulling my hips to crush us together. I whimpered into his mouth.
“God, those little sounds,” he said against my lips. “I want to hear how you sound when I make you—”
“Kai!” I practically leaped off him, and he sat up, eyes blazing, licking his lips. I was breathing hard. He had to be as tired as me after our long day, and it was starting to weaken us big-time. Oh, how I’d love to indulge that weakness.
I scooted farther away.
“Maybe we should try to get some sleep,” I suggested, though I was feeling wide-awake now.
He stared at me with roaring passion. “I think a third shower might be necessary,” he said.
A silly laugh wanted to escape me, but there was no humor in his eyes. Only want.”
― Wendy Higgins, quote from Sweet Peril
“She hadn't chosen him over all the others. The truth was that she hadn't even thought about anyone else.”
― Paolo Giordano, quote from The Solitude of Prime Numbers
“She has the kind of love that can stain your soul, make you beg not to have one, just to escape the spell she’s put you under. I’ve tried to break myself of her over and over, but it’s pointless. I’ve got more of her in my veins than blood”
― Tarryn Fisher, quote from Thief
“I'll walk you to your room. I'll even sing you a lullaby . . . and maybe you could show me what makes you howl,” Connor said, a smile sliding across his mouth.
“Hey!” Shay snapped out of his trance to glare at the Searcher.
“Down, boy.” Connor laughed.”
― Andrea Cremer, quote from Wolfsbane
“Police are inevitably corrupted. ... Police always observe that criminals prosper. It takes a pretty dull policeman to miss the fact that the position of authority is the most prosperous criminal position available.”

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.
