“Think of discomfort as currency- it's the price you pay to learn some pretty crucial things.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Say what you mean, but don't say it mean.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“So if you’re drowning, keep your life jacket on and fight. But once you’re able to swim, don’t convince yourself you forgot how to. Take your life jacket off, front-crawl your way to the shore, walk off that beach, and set your GPS to the top of a hill, because you WILL conquer the climb.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“From now on start asking yourself WHY you feel a certain way, WHAT made you perform a certain action, and HOW you could do things differently. The information you discover is powerful because it helps you to discover patterns and in turn use your mind productively and efficiently. After all, your mind is your most powerful tool, but it’s not useful if you don’t know how to use it. It’s like trying to fix a printer with a stapler: it doesn’t work. Trust me, I’ve tried.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Don't give up before you even try.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Words lie; actions can lie too. Consistency speaks the truth.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“IF YOU CAN’T CONTROL PEOPLE, THEN CONTROL YOUR REACTION TO THEM. IF YOU CAN’T CONTROL A SITUATION, THEN PREPARE FOR IT.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Humans have a tendency to overcomplicate simple things because we overthink them. But if you take a step back and remember your priorities, it becomes easier to make a decision. When”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“A Bawse knows that if you want to be taken seriously, you need to show people who you are, and then keep showing them.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“I thoroughly believe in crying, yelling, pulling my hair out, and experiencing heartache, BUT once I'm done I dissect the pain and learn lessons from it.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Working hard feels good. Of course it’s exhausting and stressful and causes you to miss a party or two, but at the end of the day it is so rewarding. One of the best feelings in the world is when you know that luck didn’t play a role in your success. Doing work eliminates the need for luck. I’m not lucky, I just took the stairs. And you should too.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“A Bawse understands that there are many things in life you have no control over and it is inefficient to become frustrated by that reality.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Procrastination is a hustlers worst enemy.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Nah, you can do better than that. Stop being wacksauce.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Mistakes don’t exist just to make us feel bad about ourselves; they are opportunities that we should not ignore or shy away from.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“The universe might respect the law of attraction, but it respects a good hustle even more.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Every little bit of stress you eliminate contributes to a more productive day. That’s not being a diva; it’s placing yourself in a situation that allows you to be in optimal form.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“I could reply with a middle-finger emoji, but that wouldn’t be very productive.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“The point is, don’t be afraid to ask for things. The worst that will happen is that you’ll be told no. Just remember to smile, stand tall, and look as adorable as possible.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“You’re standing in the middle of a blank piece of paper. Unleash your inner architect and design your path to success. Get wild, be creative, and don’t get distracted by the flow of traffic.
Traffic sucks anyway.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Pain is good. Heartache is good. These things will provide you with knowledge that will help you grow and deal with future struggles. To waste a painful moment and let emption overwhelm you so much that you gain absolutely no insight is to get hurt inefficiently.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“A bawse doens't just know what they want for Christmas; they know what they want from life.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“There's always a way to be open and honest while also being respectful. Anyone who behaves other wise is just being lazy.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“A bawse knows that shortcuts do not exist when it comes to success.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Being active has nothing to do with being sexy, sculpting a six-pack, or fitting into a smaller size. It’s about making sure your body can keep up with your hustle.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“I would like to end by saying that there is enough room in this world for all of us to succeed. We all have what it takes to be the best version of ourselves. Sometimes our inner Bawse gets knocked down and discouraged, and that’s okay. That’s temporary. That doesn’t define you. Your strength is everlasting. You are the most powerful person in your life, and don’t you ever forget that you call the shots.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“represented a certain ideal. It’s our attachment to an idealized relationship that is hard to let go of. If your friend lied to you, if your lover cheated on you, or if someone simply decided they didn’t want to be in a relationship with you anymore, they are not right for you. It may feel like they are, even though they hurt you, but they aren’t. You know who is right for you? The person who is everything you love about your ex, except for the part that hurt you. There are 7 billion people on the planet, and it’s naive and scientifically ridiculous to believe that such a person does not exist.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“Pain is good. Heartache is good. These things will provide you with knowledge that will help you grow and deal with future struggles. To waste a painful moment and let emotion overwhelm you so much that you gain absolutely no insight is to get hurt inefficiently, especially since you'll continue to encounter pain in life.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“The more details people know about you, the weaker you become.”
― Lilly Singh, quote from How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
“action is only meaningful if it’s consistent.”

“We were in the middle of a scene, and this crazy woman comes roaring out of the crowd, screaming, grabs my whip, and damned if she didn’t punch me.” Rubbing his reddened chin, the man’s lips curved a little. “It’s almost funny, but still, she ruined our scene.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Club Shadowlands
“What do you think you are doing?” she fumed. “I hauled all that hot water for my own bath.” He smirked. “I did wonder who left it. Awfully kind of you.” “It was not kind,” she said between clenched teeth. “It was for my own bath. Why would you presume someone filled it for you?” His eyes narrowed. “How high and mighty you speak all of a sudden.” She felt her cheeks burn. “Well, I’m angry!” He gripped the sides of the tub and made as though to rise. “Then I shall get out straightaway if you like.” “No! Not with me standing here. I shall wait outside.” She stepped out and closed the door. Five or ten minutes later he finally emerged, hair slicked back, skin still glistening. “It’s all yours, love.” “I trust you’re going to help me refill it?” “No need. It’s perfectly good water. Still warm. I shall even come in and scrub your back, if you like.” He winked at her. “Not on your life. How selfish you are.” He lifted his square chin. “Well, I shall definitely not fetch and tote for you after that.” He turned away, whistling to himself as he walked jauntily down the passage, her towel around his neck.”
― Julie Klassen, quote from The Maid of Fairbourne Hall
“You do not strike me as a Lothario. You're far too serious for the part.'
'Oh? I did give it a small try, if you recall. And your mouth tasted quite sweet. But perhaps I was too subtle?'
From an airy exchange of quips, he had suddenly moved onto solid ground ... 'You're a skillful flirt,' she managed. 'I will give you that.'
'And you're no flirt at all. Come, give it a try. Tell me how a rogue charms a woman, if not through sober, industrious application.'
Her lips twitched. 'That sounds like the factory brand of roguery. But all you need do is attend to a woman's vanity, I suppose.'
'Ah, yes. Of course. It comes back to me now; I've been going about it all wrong. THe first thing I should have said is that you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.'
She laughed despite herself. 'That's a clever sort of compliment, seeing as it reserves you the right to change your mind with the next woman you meet.”
― Meredith Duran, quote from The Duke of Shadows
“I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)”
― Sylvia Plath, quote from The Collected Poems
“I started, squeezing Keir’s shoulder. He did not look at me, turning to look at Simus instead. “Simus, I ask that you undertake the protection of the warprize personally. Designate whatever men you need to hold her safe. Once the commotion has started, place the army on alert.”
Iften rose at that. “Warlord, it’s my place to take charge of the camp, not Joden.” He almost spat Joden’s name.
Keir almost snarled. “Iften, if you had both feet planted on the earth, were bathed in flames, calling a wind, holding my token, and blessed by rain from the skies, still I would not trust you with my warprize.”
Marcus snickered, as did some of the others. Iften turned bright red, but held his tongue.”
― Elizabeth Vaughan, quote from Warprize

A Year of Marvellous...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.
