“I loved you way before you ever had a chance to put a spell on me. I loved you at 'I've never been to Long Island,'" Zach said.
I couldn't keep a big goofy grin from my face.
I loved you at 'I like seals,'" I admitted. He grinned back.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx
“See? Anger can be healthy. When the time comes–and it will come–remember that. And what I said. Embrace your powers–love yourself the way Nature made you, and you will prevail. Always.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx
“Zach had rushed down to rescue me without remembering to put a shirt on...Maybe I had died and gone to heaven.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx
“I've never even been to Long Island”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx
“He took hold of my arm, and swung me around. “For one thing, I still owe you eternal servitude for saving my life, remember? And for another, the subway station’s that way, stupid. Let’s go.” There isn’t anything in the least romantic about being called stupid. Really. Especially since I knew there was no way Zach would ever be interested in a red-haired, violin-playing preacher’s daughter when there was the remotest chance he could have gorgeous, physical-therapist-in-training Petra. So”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx
“I guess we will,” I said, wondering how it had gotten to this: my cousin and me, fighting over who was the more powerful witch. I mean, talk about stupid. I”

“I like seals,” he said to me, as if to excuse the apparent oddness of his taking the au pair to the zoo. Hmmm.”

“The love of the sea folk is my strength. That was it. The answer she needed. It had been there all along. She heard Thalassa’s voice now: A ruler’s greatest power comes from her heart—from the love she bears her subjects, and the love they bear her. Vrăja’s: Nothing is more powerful than love. And Elena’s: Love’s the greatest magic of all.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, quote from Rogue Wave
“De rede is van ons bewustzijn maar de buitenkant. Daaronder zit het gevoel. Vanbinnen, waar niemand ons kan zien, durven wij er feilloos op te vertrouwen. Daar weten wij alles zonder woorden. Als wij nooit naar buiten hoefden te treden zouden we geen moment aan onze intuïtie twijfelen. Maar we gaan uit en willen de anderen ook ons innerlijk keurig presenteren. Dus kammen we onze gedachten uit en trekken ze recht. Herinner jij je dan niet dat je als kind instinctief aanvoelde hoe mensen in elkaar zaten, bij wie je het goede kon vinden en wie voor jou gevaarlijk was, wat je moest doen om gevoed te worden, te overleven en liefde te vinden? Ik geloof dat veel van de kennis waarnaar wij op zoek zijn, een antwoord op alle belangrijke vragen, al vanaf onze geboorte in ons aanwezig is en dat wij alleen maar zijn vergeten hoe we die moeten aanboren. Sterker, van het meeste zijn we vergeten dat het bestaat (…). Al die intuïtieve kennis, die op zijn sterkst is bij onze geboorte, wanneer wij haar het hardst nodig hebben omdat ons nog geen andere middelen ter beschikking staan om te overleven, en die minder wordt naarmate wij leren te denken in plaats van te voelen, dat instinctieve weten is niet vergaan. Het ligt alleen bedolven onder de lawine aan argumenten en redeneringen die wij tegenwoordig nodig hebben om onze wereld voor onszelf begrijpelijk te maken. Af en toe, een enkele keer in een droom, in een moment van verstrooiing vinden we er misschien ineens iets van terug. Inspiratie zal een kunstenaar het noemen, voor iemand die gelooft is het een openbaring. Maar voor ons, die rationeel proberen te denken? Misschien zouden wij het een inval noemen, een moment van verlichting waarin je ineens de oplossing ziet van een vraagstuk dat je nog niet eens had geformuleerd.”

“Alec raised his eyebrows and looked very confused. "Wait. They don't mean it's okay, and that I don’t have to worry about it? Why would they say that if they don't mean it?" Nico shrugged. "I think it's some sort of mind trick. They use that sentence as an illusion that things between you are okay, but when you least expect it, they will strike like a cobra and wound your soul.”
― L.A. Casey, quote from Alec

Jamaica InnBookQuoters 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.
