“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“You know something, don’t you?” Monte asked in a rough voice that was completely out of character for his typical, casual demeanor.”
“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.”
“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?”
“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.”
“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.”
“Walk really, really carefully. It's not complicated, but if you mess up, you'll die, so pay attention.”
“That’s the direction the thieves took,” Nancy told him, noting the dust and tire marks which revealed the van’s exit onto the highway. “But,” she added, glancing at the dashboard clock, “they’re probably too far away by this time for us to catch them.” “Yes, ding it,” Jeff muttered. Nancy drove as rapidly as the law permitted toward Melborne. All the while, Jeff Tucker peered from one side of the road to the other.”
“Tough toenails, tiger. What you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”
“And so it is that you learn how to pass, if you're lucky, to look like everyone else, even though you're broken inside.”
“That hat looks ridiculous.”
“Fortunately, I can change hats,” Wayne said, “while you, sir, are stuck with that face.”
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.
