“I realized the only person I can control is me.”
― quote from Letting Ana Go
“You're only as sick as your secrets.”
― quote from Letting Ana Go
“What a tiny speck of dust I am compared to the rest of this universe.”
― quote from Letting Ana Go
“If you don't know where you're starting from, you don't know where you're going.”
― quote from Letting Ana Go
“If you want to change something, change it. Don't just sit around sighing all day like a balloon losing air.”
― quote from Letting Ana Go
“It is a scene of Satyrs and Nymphs, of pursuits and captures, provocative resistances followed by the enthusiastic surrender of lips to bearded lips, of panting bosoms to the impatience of rough hands, the whole accompanied by a babel of shouting, squealing and shrill laughter”
― Aldous Huxley, quote from Ape and Essence
“But, my wolf, compassion is often mistaken for weakness when the fact is, there is very little that is more powerful than the courage it takes to give it.”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from With Everything I Am
“I knew that, although my life had been shaped by events out of my control, it was I who had chosen to react to them in the way I had”
― Lucinda Riley, quote from The Seven Sisters
“physical. In other words, we are understanding one thing in terms of something else of the same kind. But in conventional metaphor, we are understanding one thing in terms of something else of a different kind. In “Inflation has gone up,” for example, we understand inflation (which is abstract) in terms of a physical substance, and we understand an increase of inflation (which is also abstract) in terms of a physical orientation (up). The only difference is whether our projection involves the same kinds of things or different kinds of things.”
― George Lakoff, quote from Metaphors We Live By
“That is what worship is all about. It is the glad shout of praise that arises to God the creator and God the rescuer from the creation that recognizes its maker, the creation that acknowledges the triumph of Jesus the Lamb. That is the worship that is going on in heaven, in God's dimension, all the time. The question we ought to be asking is how best we might join in.”
― N.T. Wright, quote from Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense

Act of TreasonBookQuoters 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.
