“Grace is that ability; to face adversity and be at ease, to enter into the suffering world and help others without losing yourself in the process. It is to be true to your most essential nature, and produce something good from that. To have grace is as close as we may come to perfection.”
― Christopher Daniel Mechling, quote from Peter: The Untold True Story

“Her pelt prickling with frustration, Hollykit pushed her way through the brambles and raced back to the nursery. She had just discovered how she wanted to serve her Clan, how to make sure that what she did really mattered. She wanted to be the next ThunderClan medicine cat!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from The Sight
“También estaba descontento por otra cosa: yo traté una vez más de convencerlo de que dejase de ir a las Cataratas. Eso fue porque el fuego me había revelado una pasión nueva, totalmente nueva, y claramente distinta del amor, de la pena y de esas otras que ya había descubierto: el miedo. ¡Es horrible! Ojalá nunca la hubiese descubierto. Me da malos momentos, arruina mi felicidad, me hace estremecer y temblar y sobresaltarme. Pero no pude persuadirlo, porque él no ha descubierto el miedo aún, y por eso no puede comprenderme.”

The Siege of Macinda...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.
