“Life, deal gently with her ... Love, never desert her”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“It's the fools that make all the trouble in the world, not the wicked.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“Let's sum up... a little house, white and green or to be made so... with trees, preferably birch and spruce... a window looking seaward... on a hill. That sounds very possible... but there is one other requirement. There must be magic about it, Jane... lashings of magic... and magic houses are scarce, even on the Island. Have you any idea at all what I mean, Jane?"
Jane reflected.
"You want to feel that the house is yours before you buy it," she said.
"Jane," said dad, "you are too good to be true.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“Let me remind you that the measure of anyone's freedom is what he can do without.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“Grandmother's voice was ice. "They do not. Your mother has been happy all these years, till you began stirring up old memories. Leave her alone. She is my daughter... no outsider shall ever come between us again... neither Andrew Stuart nor you nor anyone. And you will be good enough to remember that.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“Can I help you?" said Jane.
Though Jane herself had no inkling of it, those words were the keynote of her character. Any one else would probably have said, "What is the matter?" But Jane always wanted to help: and, though she was too young to realize it, the tragedy of her little existence was that nobody ever wanted her help.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” The most terrible and tremendous saying in the world, Jane… because we are all afraid of truth and afraid of freedom… that’s why we murdered Jesus.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Jane of Lantern Hill
“Let me remind you that the measure of any one’s freedom is what he can do without.”

“You see, that is why it is so easy to fool people with our illusions, Yue. In this world, illusions are usually much kinder than the truth.”
― Zoë Marriott, quote from Shadows on the Moon
“All those who are left legacies in my will…will obtain my bequests only on one condition, that they cut my body in pieces and eat it before the eyes of the citizens…You must merely shield your eyes, and imagine that what you have swallowed is not human entrails but ten million sesterces.”

“What are you doing?” I finally ask.
“I'm serenading you.”
I slowly nod, fiddling with the strap of my tank top as I say,
“You know those people that naturally sing really well and you could listen to them for hours and hours?”
“Yeah.” I look up.
“You're not one of them.”
His lips twitch. “Isn't it about effort?”
“Not with singing, no. It's about talent. You don't have it.”
“I love you.”
“That's not going to make you sound any better.”
Laughing, he reaches for me and pulls me to his lap.

The Art of Hearing H...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.
