“i had never felt more at home here, here where the stars shone so brightly and the breeze felt like a lover's touch.”
― Kailin Gow, quote from Frost Kisses
“i have sung for you, he said, his voice cracking with pain. but who will sing for me? the woman i love... she is where you are now. If you meet her on the road to heaven, tell her that i love her. tell her that i'm waiting for her, and that i want nothing more than to cross that gorge scross which i have sent you , and to see her shade for myself! if she will forgive me for having failed her- having failed out peave!”
― Kailin Gow, quote from Frost Kisses
“Fairies were different. In the winding mountain paths and emerald-topped forests of Feyland, there were so many magical creatures.”
― Kailin Gow, quote from Frost Kisses
“You hold in your hands my heart, my soul, and my very being. You are already the Queen of my heart, my love, my true love, my only love.”- Kian, Frost Kisses”
― Kailin Gow, quote from Frost Kisses
“I am rewarding you, and I am punishing you. For a reward for your courage, your bravery, you will never die. And for punishment, for having seen what cannot be seen, you will never return to this place.”

“Berlin'de yalnızsınız değil mi?" dedi.
"Ne gibi? "
"Yani... Yalnız işte... Kimsesiz... Ruhen yalnız... Nasıl söyleyeyim... Öyle bir haliniz var ki..."
"Anlıyorum, anlıyorum... Tamamen yalnızım... Ama Berlin'de değil... Bütün dünyada yalnızım... Küçükten beri..."
"Ben de yalnızım..." dedi. Bu sefer benim ellerimi kendi avuçlarının içine alarak: "Boğulacak kadar yalnızım..." diye devam etti, "hasta bir köpek kadar yalnız..."

Şuna dikkat edin ki, benden herhangi bir şey istediğiniz gün her şey bitmiş demektir. Hiçbir şey anlıyor musunuz, hiçbir şey istemeyeceksiniz… Dünyada sizden, yani bütün erkeklerden niçin bu kadar çok nefret ediyorum biliyor musunuz? Sırf böyle en tabii haklarıymış gibi insandan birçok şeyler istedikleri için… Beni yanlış anlamayın, bu taleplerin muhakkak söz haline gelmesi şart değil… Erkeklerin öyle bir bakışları, öyle bir gülüşleri, ellerini kaldırışları, hulasa kadınlara öyle bir muamele edişleri var ki… Kendilerine ne kadar fazla ve ne kadar aptalca güvendiklerini fark etmemek için kör olmak lazım. Herhangi bir şekilde talepleri reddedildiği zaman düştükleri şaşkınlığı görmek, küstahça gururlarını anlamak için kafidir. Kendilerini daim bir avcı, bizi zavallı birer av olarak düşünmekten asla vazgeçmiyorlar. Bizim vazifemiz sadece tabi olmak, itaat etmek, istenilen şeyleri vermek… Biz isteyemeyiz, kendiliğimizden bir şey veremeyiz… Ben bu ahmakça ve küstahça erkek gururundan tiksiniyorum. Anlıyor musunuz? Sizinle bunun için dost olabileceğimizi zannediyorum. Çünkü halinizde o manasız kendine güvenme yok… Fakat bilmem… Ne kuzuların ağzından vahşi kurt dişlerinin sırıttığını gördüm…

Ben dünyadan ziyade kafamın içinde yaşayan bir insanım… Hakiki hayatım benim için can sıkıcı bir rüyadan başka bir şey değildir…”

“Then perhaps we should carve a world one day where the strength lies in who you are rather than in what they expect you to be.”
― Rin Chupeco, quote from The Bone Witch
“We are not defined by our lack of fear—Dad had said, smiling as Ethan let our four-year-old brother tackle him—but rather by what we choose to do when facing the nightmare.”
― Courtney Alameda, quote from Shutter
“He was whipped oftener who was whipped easiest.”
― Frederick Douglass, quote from Life and Times of Frederick Douglass
“Franklin Fletcher dreamed of luxury in the form of tiger-skins and beautiful women. He was prepared, at a pinch, to forgo the tiger-skins. Unfortunately the beautiful women seemed equally rare and inaccessible. At his office and at his boarding-house the girls were mere mice, or cattish, or kittenish, or had insufficiently read the advertisements.”

The Tipping Point: H...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 2018, 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.
