“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.”

“Начнем с того, что, на мой взгляд, только люди могут отделить сон от грез наяву. Будь ты львенком, медузой или папоротником — ты не отличишь бодрствование от сна. Мне кажется, что еще несколько тысяч лет назад люди тоже так считали. А потом появился человек, который разрушил замкнутый круг и раскрыл разницу между двумя мирами. Несколько сотен лет люди свыкались с мыслью, что жизнь наяву и мечта — две совершенно разные вещи. И этого бы не случилось без того, первого «Джереми».
А после произошло еще кое-что. Имея представление о мире мечты и реальной жизни, мы еще не подозревали о прошлом, настоящем и будущем. Был день, снова день, и день за ним.
завтра = вчера = сегодня = то же самое = всегда
Наверняка не обошлось без первопроходца, который совершил основополагающий скачок, — того, кто рассказал остальным о существовании места, где нас нет и где все не так, как мы привыкли. Из-за мысли о будущем жизнь людей изменилась. Их потомки стали жить по-другому, лучше. Мы научились прилагать ум к действию и усовершенствовали способы выполнения задач. И это людям открыл такой же человек, как Джереми.
А потом пришел еще кто-то и рассказал нашим предкам, что существуют не только жизнь и смерть, а еще и жизнь после смерти. Вещатель, Джереми. Мой сын был рожден сказителем, и теперь он решил переложить свою задачу на меня.”
― Douglas Coupland, quote from Eleanor Rigby
“with others, are likely to experience such a year.”
― Warren Buffett, quote from Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders
“You know, when I came home after our day in the city, I just crashed, thinking about Remi and how much I missed him. And then the next day was worse, And when you walked up to me at that ice cream machine, I just felt myself crumble inside. Around Remi, I felt like I was always trying to act like I was good enough. But around you, I don't want to pretend or hide. That's why I didn't say anything in the cafeteria that day, I knew that in five seconds, I'd be crying on your shoulder."
"That's what it's there for, Ethan."
Alek leaned in, took Ethan's face in his hands, and kissed him.”
― Michael Barakiva, quote from One Man Guy
“There are worse things in life to be than fat, and one of them is ignorant. Another is prejudiced. Another is deliberately cruel.”

“I crashed the pipe murderously down onto his mouth and heard his upper teeth shatter at the gums.”

ChaliceBookQuoters 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.
