“Yeah, you're fucked up, baby." He smiled a little and kissed Fen again. "'S part of what I love about you.”
― Carole Cummings, quote from Incendiary
“There was probably something very wrong with the fact that an exchange of death threats made Malick all warm and fuzzy, but there it was.”
― Carole Cummings, quote from Incendiary
“Focus, Fen. You've been using pain for it all your bloody life. How badly do you want him dead?”
― Carole Cummings, quote from Incendiary

“The fire that hollows us out is what allows us to be filled with strength and power where before there was none.”
― Morgan Rhodes, quote from Crystal Storm
“You do have a choice in how your life plays out. Some of you are fighting your present situation and making no more progress than someone fighting quicksand. You fight your husband, and every verbal punch you land leaves a bruise on you as well. It is time to stop struggling in strife, bitterness, frustration, and disappointment. You are about to read God’s plan for a joyful marriage. It”

“إذ قفز عقلي كي يدرك أنّنا أيضاً ننظر إلى الزمان والمكان كأمرين مسلّم بهما بالرغم من أنّ الموت يأخذنا إلى ما وراءهما. وفهمت أنّ ما أدعوه بالوجود يعني الوجود في الزمان والمكان وأنّ هذا الكون من زمان ومكان ليس مطلقاً. فجأة أصبح كل شيء عبثياً. إذ للمرة الأولى يعتريني شهور فظيع بالضعف والافتقار إلى الإحساس بالأمان، وأدركت أنّ كل شيء موجود في هذا الكون ومسلّم به قابل للنقاش، وأنّ كل شيء يمكن أن يكون مجرد حيلة. وباعتباري مفكراً، فقد انتابتني العادة الرومانسية بالشعور أنّ العقل يقع خارج حدود مصادفات الجسد وأنّه أبدي وحرّ، وأنّ الجسد ربما يكون تافهاً أو خاصاً. إلا أنّ العقل شامل وعام. إنّ هذا الشعور يجعل العقل مراقباً أبدياً بعيداً عن الخوف. فجأة فكرت فيما لو كان الكون اعباطياً، فإنّ عقلي يصبح قابلاً للتدمير تماماً مثل جسدي. تلك هي النقطة التي يتذكر عندها المرء ساعات المرض والهذيان، عندما يبدو العقل أقل ديمومة من الجسد وعندما يشك المرء في أنّ خشونة الجسد في التي تمنع العقل من التفسّخ.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Strong combat leadership is never by committee. Platoon commanders must command, and command in battle isn't based on consensus. It's based on consent. Any leader wields only as much authority and influence as is conferred by the consent of those he leads. The Marines allowed me to be their commander, and they could revoke their permission at any time.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“[...] porque nadie sabe lo que el beso es verdaderamente, tal vez la devoración imposible, tal vez una comunión demoníaca, tal vez el principio de la muerte.”

Don't Even Think Abo...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.
