“4 of us, and 2000 of them. Piss-poor odds. For them.”
― Eric S. Nylund, quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach


“Honer and self sacrifice. Death does not diminish these qualities in a soldier. We shall remember.”
― Eric S. Nylund, quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach


“A leader must be ready to send the soldiers under his command to their deaths”
― Eric S. Nylund, quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach


“Kelly hesitated, then saluted.
John turned and grabbed her arm. "Come on, Spartan. Don't look back."
The truth was, it was John who didn't dare look back. If he had, he would have stayed with Sam. Better to die with a friend than leave him behind. But as much as he wanted to fight and die alongside his friend, he had to set an example for the rest of the Spartans -- and live to fight another day.
John and Kelly pushed the pressure doors shut behind them.
"Good-bye," he whispered.”
― Eric S. Nylund, quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach


“Relax,” she said. “We’re supposed to be parents inspecting the school for our little girl.” She slipped her arm through his, and although she would have thought such a feat impossible, the Lieutenant stood even straighter.”
― Eric S. Nylund, quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach



“attacked the men I had assigned to guard it.”
― Eric S. Nylund, quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach


“approached the two guards, smiling. John knew her smile wasn’t friendly. She was smiling because she was finally getting a chance to put her training to the test.

“But the truth is, nothing delights me more than a biography of one of the truly great that proves he or she was an absolute shit.”
― Mordecai Richler, quote from Barney's Version


“I’m going to be your best friend.”
― Aurora Rose Reynolds, quote from Until Trevor


“only the dead could afford oblivion.”
― Robert Jordan, quote from New Spring


“Felix.” She let go, suddenly shy to speak. But that tense, tickly sensation running from her throat to her belly was giving her some kind of superhuman nerve. And besides, he wasn’t really Felix Callahan anymore, not in that ethereal, big-screen sense. So. She cleared her throat. “Felix, will you be my friend?”

He did laugh at her, though he didn’t seem to mean it. “Yes, we’ll get matching lockets holding strands of each other’s hair.”

“I wish the English language gave us a better option. ‘Pals,’ ‘chums,’ ‘buddies’ . . . but a word that implies the sudden and unusual nature—like ‘metabuddies.’ ”

“ ‘Metabuddies.’ Wow. This is getting serious.”

“So?”

“So. Yes. Let’s be friends. That would solve some of this confused muss. Do we spit in our palms and shake?”

“I think this calls for a pinky pledge.” She hooked her pinky around his. “I, Becky Jack, agree to be Felix Callahan’s pal, even though he’s way overrated as an actor and screen hunk and can be such a brat.”

Felix cleared his throat. “I, world-famous and fabulously wealthy Felix Paul Callahan, agree to be mates with Becky, even though she wears grandmother shoes and insists on popping out children with reckless abandon and shows no remorse for her vicious right hook.”

“That was very nice. I almost shed a tear.”

“Apparently all it takes to make you weep is a singing puppet.”

“Hey, don’t sell me short. I also cry at talking socks and animated washcloths.”

“You cry in terror.”

“Well, yeah, that’s true.”
― Shannon Hale, quote from The Actor and the Housewife

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.
