“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
“And they held on tight to that beautiful silent moment before words transported them to the realm of the ordinary, to the realm of the inarticulate and mundane.”
― Sarah Winman, quote from A Year of Marvellous Ways
“This creator god was called Allah, which is not a proper name but a contraction of the word al-ilah, meaning simply “the god.”
― Reza Aslan, quote from No god but God: The Origins, Evolution and Future of Islam
“I liked it all, but most of all I liked the fact that although the play was entirely focused on Quintana there were, five evenings and two afternoons a week, these ninety full minutes, the run time of the play, during which she did not need to be dead.
During which the question remained open.
During which the denouement had yet to play out.
During which the last scene played did not necessarily need to be played in the ICU overlooking the East River.
During which the bells would not necessarily sound and the doors would not necessarily be locked at six.
During which the last dialogue heard did not necessarily need to concern the vent.
Like when someone dies, don't dwell on it.”
― Joan Didion, quote from Blue Nights
“Life is stronger than anything else, there is always a solution, and I will find it. I’m sure of that.”
― quote from The Only Girl in the World: A Memoir
“Todo el mundo tiene demonios. La cuestión es simplemente saber hasta qué punto esos demonios son tolerables.”
― Joël Dicker, quote from La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert
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.
