“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.”

“Life is not what you have or what you can keep. It is what you can bear to lose.”

“—¿Por qué es tan duro perder a la persona amada?
Ante mi silencio, mi abuelo prosiguió:
—Debe de ser porque ya amabas a esa persona antes. No es que la separación o la ausencia sean, en sí mismas, tristes. El amor hacia esa persona, que ya existía previamente, es el que hace tan dolorosa la separación y el que te hace perseguir su recuerdo con nostalgia. Y ese dolor nunca desaparece. ¿No se puede afirmar, por lo tanto, que el dolor y la tristeza no son más que una manifestación parcial de esa gran emoción que es nuestro amor por alguien?
—No lo sé.
—Piensa en la desaparición de una persona. Si se trata de alguien que no te importa, no sientes nada. No tienes conciencia de haberla perdido. En realidad, sólo sientes que pierdes a alguien cuando es alguien a quien no quieres perder. Es decir que, posiblemente, la sensación de pérdida es una parte del amor que se siente por alguien. Como se ama a una persona, su ausencia se convierte en un problema, su ausencia produce dolor en la persona que ha dejado atrás. Y la tristeza siempre le lleva a uno a la misma conclusión: "La despedida ha sido dura, pero algún día volveremos a reencontrarnos".”
― Kyōichi Katayama, quote from Socrates In Love
“You but winnowed out those who have made their pride a funeral shroud." Jaren met Rain's eyes. "Our world has changed, Feyreisen. I have watched great Fey cities die, seen our forests fade back into desert, and listened to my shei'tani weep for the children her womb will not bear. It seems to me when the ways of the past lead only to death, then change is the only hope for life.”

A Woman of SubstanceBookQuoters 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.
