“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.”

“For you know only a heap of broken images”
― T.S. Eliot, quote from The Waste Land
“It would be mortifying to the feelings of many ladies, could they be made to understand how little the heart of a man is affected by what is costly or new in their attire... Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter.”
― Jane Austen, quote from Northanger Abbey
“Holmes was charming and gracious, but something about him made Belknap uneasy. He could not have defined it. Indeed, for the next several decades alienists and their successors would find themselves hard-pressed to describe with any precision what it was about men like Holmes that could cause them to seem warm and ingratiating but also telegraph the vague sense that some important element of humanness was missing. At first alienists described this condition as “moral insanity” and those who exhibited the disorder as “moral imbeciles.” They later adopted the term “psychopath,” used in the lay press as early as 1885 in William Stead’s Pall Mall Gazette, which described it as a “new malady” and stated, “Beside his own person and his own interests, nothing is sacred to the psychopath.” Half a century later, in his path-breaking book The Mask of Sanity, Dr. Hervey Cleckley described the prototypical psychopath as “a subtly constructed reflex machine which can mimic the human personality perfectly. … So perfect is his reproduction of a whole and normal man that no one who examines him in a clinical setting can point out in scientific or objective terms why, or how, he is not real.”
― Erik Larson, quote from The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
“For every man in the world functions to the best of his ability, and no one does less than his best, no matter what he may think about it.”
― John Steinbeck, quote from The Pearl
“Don’t put your wand there, boy!” roared Moody. “What if it ignited? Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!” “Who d’you know who’s lost a buttock?” the violet-haired woman asked Mad-Eye interestedly. “Never you mind, you just keep your wand out of your back pocket!” growled Mad-Eye. “Elementary wand safety, nobody bothers about it anymore . . .” He stumped off toward the kitchen. “And I saw that,” he added irritably, as the woman rolled her eyes at the ceiling.”

#BaeBookQuoters 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.
