Quotes from Fray

“You do not want a war.

You have known violence, you have suffered loss, but you have seen nothing of war. War is not just the business of death; it is the anti-thesis of life. Hope, tortured and flayed, reason, dismembered, grinning at its limbs in its lap. Decency, raped to death...

You will be a murderer and more.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

“I'm not a leader now. I'm a whole damn army.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

“Nobody ever called me any OH MY GOD you mean that guy that one that set himself on FIRE!"

"As I said, fanatics."

"But he set himself on fire!"

"Centuries of useless, obsessive waiting. Makes a human-"

"HE SET HIMSELF ON FIRE!

"Maybe he was cold.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

“They'll all be waiting. Waiting for me to fall.

So, come on , guys. I'm just one girl. No big hero, no protector of justice, not even a bona fide one-hundred-percent slayer. So what are you waiting for?

Take me on.

Hurt my world.

I dare you.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

“So, what's first?"

"Dexterity. I throw things at you. You avoid them."

"You're not a complicated person, are you? Let's do it."

"You hib me wib a girder!"

"How many claws am I holding up?"

"You hib my face wib a whole girder!"

"You were meant to duck."

"Can we skip degsteriby?”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

“They come. Sooner than I'd thought, more than I'd even begun to fear. They come looking for death.

And Death is psyched to see 'em.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

“I'm pissed like this rutting beast can't conceive - I'm a lifetime of pissed, of strong, of muscle built over bruise, I'm slick with power and feel the fight as it changes...

As it flows...

...Everything into place, perfect, and I finally do what I was born to do.

I slay.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Fray

Popular quotes

“Als 'ein Frevel, als ein Raub an der göttlichen Natur' erscheine hier die Aneignung des Feuers, der erste Schritt 'jeder aufsteigenden Kultur', und diesen 'arischen Mythus', der 'den heroischen Drang' darstelle, 'über den Bann der Individuation hinauszuschreiten', stellt er den 'semitischen Sündenfallmythus [entgegen], in welchem die Neugierde, die lügnerische Vorspiegelung, die Verführbarkeit, die Lüsternheit [...] als der Ursprung des übels angesehen wurde'.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from The Birth of Tragedy

“My thoughts on the descent of our moral prejudices – for that is what this polemic is about – were first set out in a sketchy and provisional way in the collection of aphorisms entitled Human, All Too Human. A Book for Free Spirits, which I began to write in Sorrento during a winter that enabled me to pause, like a wanderer pauses, to take in the vast and dangerous land through which my mind had hitherto travelled. This was in the winter of 1876–7; the thoughts themselves go back further. They were mainly the same thoughts which I shall be taking up again in the present essays – let us hope that the long interval has done them good, that they have become riper, brighter, stronger and more perfect! The fact that I still stick to them today, and that they themselves in the meantime have stuck together increasingly firmly, even growing into one another and growing into one, makes me all the more blithely confident that from the first, they did not arise in me individually, randomly or sporadically but as stemming from a single root, from a fundamental will to knowledge deep inside me which took control, speaking more and more clearly and making ever clearer demands. And this is the only thing proper for a philosopher. We have no right to stand out individually: we must not either make mistakes or hit on the truth individually. Instead, our thoughts, values, every ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘if ’ and ‘but’ grow from us with the same inevitability as fruits borne on the tree – all related and referring to one another and a testimonial to one will, one health, one earth, one sun. – Do you like the taste of our fruit? – But of what concern is that to the trees? And of what concern is it to us philosophers? . . .”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from On the Genealogy of Morals

“Each of us has our own self-image, but what few realize, is that every person around us also possesses an image of us, no less real than our own. Every person close to us has a version of us in their hearts that no one else can replicate or replace.”
― Michael G. Manning, quote from The God-Stone War

“Life is never going to be smooth sailing, but I've learned to roll with the punches.”
― Marie Hall, quote from A Moment

“We take harm upon our own very harshly, and those who fuck with my family will get no mercy.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny

About BookQuoters

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.
