“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
“Nancy grabbed Plum's hand and together they ran around the last curve and then they were leaning against the old stone wall that marked Lookout Hill. Far, far down below them, a river was trying to wriggle its way out of a steep canyon. Over to the right, thick green hills crowded close to each other to share one filmy white cloud. To the left, as far as they could see the land flowed into valleys that shaded from a pale watery green, through lime, emerald, jade, leaf, forest to a dark, dark, bluish-green, almost black. The rivers were like inky lines, the ponds like ink blots.”
― Betty MacDonald, quote from Nancy and Plum
“Observe the nature of today’s alleged peace movements. Professing love and concern for the survival of mankind, they keep screaming that the nuclear-weapons race should be stopped, that armed force should be abolished as a means of settling disputes among nations, and that war should be outlawed in the name of humanity. Yet these same peace movements do not oppose dictatorships; the political views of their members range through all shades of the statist spectrum, from welfare statism to socialism to fascism tocommunism. This means that they are opposed to the use of coercion by one nation against another, but not by the government of a nation against its own citizens; it means that they are opposed to the use of force against armed adversaries, but not against the disarmed. Consider the plunder, the destruction, the starvation, the brutality, the slave-labor camps, the torture chambers, the wholesale slaughter perpetrated by dictatorships. Yet this is what today’s alleged peace-lovers are willing to advocate or tolerate—in the name of love for humanity.”
― Ayn Rand, quote from Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
“You could get crickets to pop out of a book as a little, little girl, but now you have to relearn it? Well, children can do so many things until they're told they can't.”
― quote from The Anybodies
“Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?”
― D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, quote from Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cure
“When I looked at them, they made up a sea.”
― Jamaica Kincaid, quote from Annie John
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.
