Quotes from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“Fitz pulled her forward, and the warm tingling in her hand shot through her body--like a million feathers swelling underneath her skin, tickling her from the inside out.”
― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“That’s impossible [...] You need infinite energy for light travel. Haven’t you heard of the theory of relativity?”

― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“Across the river, a row of crystal castles glittered in the sunlight in a way that would make Walt Disney want to throw rocks at his “Magic Kingdom.”

― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“The drug lulled her toward a dreamless oblivion, but she fought back—clinging to the one memory that could shine a tiny spot of light in the thick, inky haze. A pair of beautiful aquamarine eyes.
Fitz’s eyes. Her first friend in her new life. Her first friend ever.”
― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“She’d spent forever trying to find him something personal, settling on a miniature Albertosaurus covered in deep violet feathers. She knew it was silly, but it reminded her of the day they met, and in the card she thanked him for showing her what dinosaurs really looked like.”
― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“He turned away and his hands grabbed something. A tiny purple Albertosaurus, and the note she’d given him with it. If she could’ve felt her chest, her heart would’ve skipped a beat.”
― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

“She stood at the edge of a glassy river lined with impossibly tall trees, fanning out their wide emerald leaves among the puffy white clouds. Across the river, a row of crystal castles glittered in the sunlight in a way that would make Walt Disney want to throw rocks at his “Magic Kingdom.” To her right, a golden path led into a sprawling city, where the elaborate domed buildings seemed to be built from brick-size jewels—each structure a different color. Snowcapped mountains surrounded the lush valley, and the crisp, cool air smelled like cinnamon and chocolate and sunshine.”
― Shannon Messenger, quote from Keeper of the Lost Cities

الحقيقة هي السيد ، ..
و الحقيقة هي اسمه و كلامه ،
مع حب غير محدود

الناس يتضرعون و يصلون :
(اعطنا .. اعطنا)
و المعطي العظيم يعطيهم هداياه

فما التقدمة التي نستطيع وضعها أمامه ،
بعد كل هذا ، كي تشفع لنا في محكمته ؟


ما هي الكلمات التي نستطيع قولها
لاستحضار حبه ؟

في وقت السحر ،
بساعات اللذة الروحانية فيما قبل الفجر
أنشد اسمه
و تأمل عظمته و مجده

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.
