“The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House
“The light came into the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it, but that no longer mattered because the light was now obliteration the darkness.”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House
“Killing one person makes you a murderer. Killing a million people makes you a king. Killing them all makes you God.”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House
“Light came into the darkness, but the darkness didn't understand it," Susan said. "Look to the light. Only the light can save you from yourself.”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House
“Most people are quite dense. They like little white houses with big stained-glass churches and prefer to do their killing with looks and words behind one another's backs."
He paused.
"Welcome to my house. No secrets allowed. Here we all do our killing with guns and axes and knives. It's more bloody than what most people are accustomed to, yes, but it's far less brutal.”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House

“You’re the light in all this madness. You’re my light. I should have been with you...” The thought hit him as his face crumpled in amazement. “Oh God, why am I not with you?”
“Because you’re an idiot,” I said.”

“I've learned over the years that sooner or later a person's physical appearance comes to resemble whatever is in their heart.”
― Damien Echols, quote from Life After Death
“The author points to the impact of what he called Dutch disease, where the discovery of found wealth from a particular commodity causes a culture to atrophy with respect to work ethic and broader development. Continuing wealth from the single commodity is taken for granted. The government, flush with wealth, is expected to be generous. When the price of that commodity drops, a government which would remain in power dare not cut back on this generosity.”
― Daniel Yergin, quote from The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power
“Nhưng mỗi người trong chúng tôi bị chiến tranh chà nát theo một kiểu riêng, mỗi người ngay từ ngày đó đã mang trong lòng một cuộc chiến tranh của riêng mình nhiều khi hoàn toàn khác với cuộc chiến đấu chung, những nhìn nhận mà sâu trong lòng cực kỳ khác nhau về con người, về thời đại chiến trận, và đương nhiên mỗi người một số phận hậu chiến. Có thể nói chúng tôi giống nhau ở chỗ là hoàn toàn khác nhau trong cái vẻ hoàn toàn giống nhau trong quá trình nặng nề đeo đuổi cuộc chiến. Nhưng chúng tôi còn có chung một nỗi buồn, nỗi buồn chiến tranh mênh mang, nỗi buồn cao cả, cao hơn hạnh phúc và vượt trên đau khổ. Chính nhờ nỗi buồn mà chúng tôi đã thoát khỏi chiến tranh, thoát khỏi bị chôn vùi trong cảnh chém giết triền miên, trong cảnh khốn khổ của những tay súng, những đầu lê, những ám ảnh bạo lực và bạo hành, để bước trở lại con đường riêng của mỗi cuộc đời có lẽ chẳng sung sướng gì và cũng đầy tội lỗi, nhưng vẫn là cuộc đời đẹp đẽ nhất mà chúng tôi có thể hy vọng, bởi vì đấy là đời sống hòa bình.”
― Bảo Ninh, quote from The Sorrow of War: A Novel of North Vietnam

HuntedBookQuoters 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.
