“Observation is the best medium of learning,”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“Love is growth, love is compassion, love is evolution, love is a lesson, love is allowing, love is granting life to be. I was in love, with all there was to be.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“I guess a person who is defeated does not know fear any more. He is already prepared to go further down. He is even prepared to die. You can’t scare or threaten a person who has lost all hope in life.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“The right time was always in the future, it was never now. I never understood that the only right time is always right now.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“I guess even when you are defeated the flame of hope never dies out. I was here now.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“Just because your action did not fit your expectation does not mean that it is a bad omen. When disappointment takes over, then we really don’t listen to the words, we start listening to the feelings. So in your disappointment of finding a cat, you changed Jacques’ words into feelings of a bad omen.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“You don’t need permission to empower people. You don’t need permission to bless. That is your soul extending its love and joy by including others in its well being. To wish well for another is an act of an enlightened soul. Remember your spirit. Bless and rejoice at every opportunity,”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“In the bargain of give and take, give does not make you less and take does not make you more. It is just a shift in possession and a shift in perception.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“guess what flows more clearly than words is your intention and your spirit. You really don’t need words to convince; your intention and your presence is enough. Words are cheap but what people really buy is your intention, which reveals itself whether you know it or not. There is a listening beyond words and that is the call of the spirit.”
― Priya Kumar, quote from I Am Another You: A Journey to Powerful Breakthroughs
“It was when she started dealing coke so she could lose weight. It had worked, sort of. I think she still has a fat ass, and can look dumpy, and has dried-out black hair and writes awful poetry and I'm pissed off that I let her get into that position of denying me.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, quote from The Rules of Attraction
“I've never even been to Long Island”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx
“The love of a single heart can make a world of difference.”
― Immaculée Ilibagiza, quote from Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
“Now as then, he sensed the threads of his life scattering and rearranging before this new and overwhelming thing that had landed among them.”
― Helene Wecker, quote from The Golem and the Jinni
“You are 'the best of cut-throats:'--do not start;
The phrase is Shakespeare's, and not misapplied:--
War's a brain-spattering, windpipe-slitting art,
Unless her cause by Right be sanctified.
If you have acted once a generous part,
The World, not the World's masters, will decide,
And I shall be delighted to learn who,
Save you and yours, have gained by Waterloo?
I am no flatterer--you've supped full of flattery:
They say you like it too--'tis no great wonder:
He whose whole life has been assault and battery,
At last may get a little tired of thunder;
And swallowing eulogy much more than satire, he
May like being praised for every lucky blunder;
Called 'Saviour of the Nations'--not yet saved,
And Europe's Liberator--still enslaved.
I've done. Now go and dine from off the plate
Presented by the Prince of the Brazils,
And send the sentinel before your gate
A slice or two from your luxurious meals:
He fought, but has not fed so well of late...”
― George Gordon Byron, quote from Don Juan
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.
