“It takes courage to say goodbye. To stare at a thing lost and know it is gone forever. Some tears are iron forged.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“There is power in words.
There are words that bid us laugh and make us weep. Words to begin with and words to end by. Words that seize the hearts in our chests and squeeze them tight, that set the skin on our bones to tingling. Words so beautiful they shape us, forever change us, live inside us for as long as we have breath to speak them. There are forgotten words. Killing words. Great and frightening and terrible words. There are True words.
And then there are pictures.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“Then know this. Between and beneath and beyond anything else i may be, i am yours. I will never leave you. never forsake you. You may rely upon sun to rise and moon to fall. For you are the heart of me.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“My gift to you, Yukiko-chan.' He nodded. 'Use it to cut away your fear, and leave nothing in its wake. Cherish it. And cherish this truth I speak to you now, if no other before or after: The greatest tempest Shima has even known waits in the wings for you to call its name. Your anger can topple mountains. Crush empires. Change the very shape of the world.'
He pressed the blade into her hand, watched her with cool eyes the colour of steel.
'Your anger is a gift.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“....just a tiny moment of illumination, a heartbeat long.... page 348.”

“You give people hope, Yukiko. The strength at the heart of all strength. The steps you take now, the first steps- they are always the hardest. But the footprints you leave in the earth behind you will be followed by thousands.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“-Te dije que sonaría como una...
-No, no es así
SÍ, SÍ QUE ES ASÍ
Shhh.
ESTE ES MI INFIERNO, LO JURO. CUANDO PASE A MEJOR VIDA Y ME CASTIGUEN POR MIS PECADOS, ESTE SERÁ MI TORMENTO. VIVIRÉ RODEADO POR UN MAR DE ADOLESCENTES NIÑOSMONOS ENAMORADOS. CHAPOTEANDO EN CHARCOS DE SU PROPIA BABA.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“Las palabras tienen poder.
Hay palabras que nos obligan a reír y nos hacen llorar. Palabras con las que empezar y palabras con las que terminar. Palabras que agarran los corazones en nuestros pechos y los aprietan fuerte, que hacen que nos hormiguee la piel sobre los huesos. Palabras tan bonitas que nos moldean, nos cambian para siempre, viven en nuestro interior durante todo el tiempo que tengamos aliento para pronunciarlas. Hay palabras olvidadas. Palabras que matan. Palabras enormes y aterradoras y terribles. Hay palabras Verdaderas.
Y luego hay imágenes.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer
“You mean everything to me. Everything I've done. All of it. You're the reason. The first and only reason.”

“what is most personal ,is most general.”
― Stephen R. Covey, quote from The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
“Your computer operates automatically in a default mode unless you deliberately tell it to do something else. So Luther says that even after you are converted by the gospel your heart will go back to operating on other principles unless you deliberately, repeatedly set it to gospel-mode. We habitually and instinctively look to other things besides God and his grace as our justification, hope, significance, and security. We believe the gospel at one level, but at deeper levels we do not. Human approval, professional success, power and influence, family and clan identity—all of these things serve as our heart’s “functional trust” rather than what Christ has done, and as a result we continue to be driven to a great degree by fear, anger, and a lack of self-control. You cannot change such things through mere will-power, through learning Biblical principles and trying to carry them out. We can only change permanently as”

“Scott: I don't think I'm ready to be a grown-up.

Adventures in the Sc...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.
