“Benjamin’s expression turned regretful. “You’re right. I’m sorry.” Jason couldn’t believe his ears. His younger brother was actually apologizing for something. “I appreciate that,” Jason finally said.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“Jason had excelled at his job at Adventi Magics, Inc. He could examine the energy matrix of an enchantment in progress and within just a moment or two, determine whether it was still on track or needed to be scrapped.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“It turned out Kip was exactly where Jason had seen him. Trevor, Willow, and Jason returned to the police station to write up the paperwork.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“You know something, don’t you?” Monte asked in a rough voice that was completely out of character for his typical, casual demeanor.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“That’s because they cast a mind control enchantment on you which prevents you from noticing it,” Monte said. “You are one of their lab rats. They’ve been experimenting on your family for generations.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“It’s a construo letalis curse,” Jason said. “Those things are impervious to magic. You can’t shield yourself or fight them.” “What happens if you try?”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“Not that I’m aware of.” Jason didn’t completely trust the chief and was just a bit cautious about letting anyone outside his immediate family know about Jane’s abilities or Radha, their resident caretaker of the white magic power center.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
“I’m a category six,” Jason said. Frances and Kent looked more satisfied by that answer but they knew the Valituras agents would be a constant threat until they were locked behind bars. “We should have a party tonight,” Benjamin suggested.”

“I love peace, but it is because I love justice and not because I am afraid of war,” Roosevelt told the spellbound crowd. “I took the action I did in Panama because to have acted otherwise would have been both weak and wicked. I would have taken that action no matter what power had stood in the way. What I did was in the interest of all the world, and was particularly in the interests of Chile and of certain other South American countries. I was in accordance with the highest and strictest dictates of justice. If it were a matter to do over again, I would act precisely and exactly as I in very fact did act.” As these words rang through the hall, the audience leapt to its feet, cheering and applauding the Yankee imperialist.”
― Candice Millard, quote from The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
“Because I’m tired of Wessex,’ I said, ‘tired of priests, tired of being told what your god’s will is, tired of being told that I’m a sinner, tired of your endless damned nonsense, tired of that nailed tyrant you call god who only wants us to be miserable.”

PninBookQuoters 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.
