Quotes from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“It was the monster of all winged dinosaurs, the pteranodon.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Dus ga je maar gauw inlezen, Einstein. We moeten zo veel mogelijk weten.'
'Wat ga jij dan doen?'
Kady keek om, één wenkbrauw opgetrokken, een vilein glimlachje om haar mond. 'Ik moet mijn sabel slijpen.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Ga daar de hoek om,' commandeerde Morgan Drummond. 'Snij af door het park. En waag het niet om die verrekte meter nog verder op te laten lopen.'
...
Kady greep naar haar heuptasje. 'Oom Edward, u mag wel even met mijn mobieltje bellen dat we te laat komen.'
'Maar we komen niet te laten,' zei Morgan en wendde zich tot de chauffeur. 'Of wel soms?”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Je... je bent een meisje!'
...
'Ik ben niet zomaar een meisje,' zei ze. 'Ik ben de dochter van de Glorie van Ra, hij die als een reus over de wereld loopt: de farao Neferhotep, de glorieuze heerser van heel Deshret... Je zou trots moeten zijn,' zei ze, terwijl ze zich met een zwaai van haar gescheurde mantel omdraaide. 'Je bent nu de slaaf van prinses Nefertiti.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Nefertiti vouwde haar kap terug. Jake verwachtte dat ze rood zou zien van kwaadheid, maar ze was verdrietig, haar ogen vochtig van de ingehouden tranen. 'Denken jullie allemaal zo slecht over mij?'
...
Jake voelde een steek van medelijden voor Nefertiti. Ze was trots en eigenzinnig, maar in hoeverre was haar karakter aangetast door Kree? Hij herinnerde zich hoe ze in de woestijn was geweest: wild en vrij, bevrijd uit de schaduw van dat monster.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Het kwaad heeft niet meer nodig dan goede mensen die niets doen.'
'Inderdaad, goed gezegd.' Politor knikte naar Jake en richtte zijn blauwe ogen toen op Nefertiti. 'De mensen van Ka-Tor, wij allemaal, hebben net zo diep geslapen als uw vader.'
Nefertiti stond op, haar stem vol vuur. 'Dan is het tijd dat we allemaal wakker worden.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Kady!'
...
'Jake!' riep ze.
Toen rolde de golf over haar heen en veranderde haar in steen.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Pini Lupi... Pene Lope. - Jake”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

“Goed dat er nog íémand is die weet hoe hij een koninklijk bevel moet opvolgen! - Nefertiti”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

Popular quotes

“Не е вярно — помисли той. — Полусън в бавно гаснещата нощ. Как могат да бъдат верни думите, казани в тъмнина? Искрените слова искат много светлина.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from Arch of Triumph: A Novel of a Man Without a Country

“Inside the mirrored elevator, Mulch used a telescopic pointer to push P for the penthouse. For the first few months he had jumped to reach the button, but that was undignified behavior for a millionaire. And besides, he was certain that Art could hear the thumping from the security desk.”
― Eoin Colfer, quote from The Arctic Incident

“There’s danger in feeling,” Tess murmured. Although she could not begin to imagine what kind of pain Dante carried within him, she felt a kinship growing between them. Both alone, both adrift in their worlds. “I don’t want to feel anything for you, Dante.”

“God, Tess. I don’t want to feel anything for you either.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Kiss of Crimson

“Die Frage, was nun eigentlich war zwischen ihnen, würden sie später erörtern, wenn all die Tage in ihrer Erinnerung zu einem einzigen, für immer unvergeßlichen Tag zusammengeflossen sein würden. Auch die Griechen, wußte Onno, die die Grundlage für die westliche Kultur gelegt hatten, besaßen kein Wort für „Kultur“. Die Wörter entstanden erst, wenn die Sache verschwunden war.”
― Harry Mulisch, quote from The Discovery of Heaven

“My heart dropped directly into my stomach. And I cursed those fucking goatherds to hell, and myself for not executing them when every military codebook ever written had taught me otherwise. Not to mention my own raging instincts, which had told me to go with Axe and execute them. And let the liberals go to hell in a mule cart, and take with them all of their fucking know-nothing rules of etiquette in war and human rights and whatever other bullshit makes ’em happy.”
― Marcus Luttrell, quote from Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10

About BookQuoters

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.
