“Grant me the strength to focus this week, to be mindful and present, to serve with excellence, to be a force of love.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel
“In life, the path of least resistance is always silence. If you don’t express your feelings and thoughts to others, you don’t have to deal with their reactions to it. You don’t have to feel vulnerable. You don’t risk rejection. But I’ll tell you what: the path of least resistance leads exactly where that ride leads to.” He pointed again to the carts looping around the track. “Nowhere.”

“Here we go. Another step. Small, bold steps. That’s how you change. You must take another step.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel
“But if you don’t decide what you want in life, you can’t change your course to get it. No goals, no growth. No clarity, no change. I’m sorry.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel
“You let the themes in your life become your beliefs, and you let those beliefs guide your behaviors.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel
“Don’t you dare settle for anything other than the life you want to live. Look at your life. Look at every area. See what you need to stop doing and what you need to start, and do it while you still can, no matter how hard it is.”

“Cosmic humor, especially about your own predicament, is an important part of your journey.”
― Ram Dass, quote from Be Here Now
“Οι γονείς μας ποτέ δεν είναι άνθρωποι στα μάτια μας, ποτέ·είναι απλώς γνωρίσματα του χαρακτήρα, ιδιομορφίες της φωνής, άσχημες μύτες, καυτά δάκρυα, αχίλλιες πτέρνες, οι θολοί εφιάλτες μας. Όλα κληροδοτημένα, κι εμείς εγκλωβισμένοι σ' αυτά. Το δίλημμά μας είναι τρομερό: γύρνα και κοίταξε αυτή τη γυναίκα, κατανοήσέ την και λυπήσου την, συμπάθησέ την και μίλα της, αναγνώρισε ότι τα ψυχρά πεντακάθαρα δωμάτια μέσα στα οποία μεγάλωσε τα μετέτρεψε, μέσα στη μεγάλη και πληγωμένη της ίσως καρδιά, σε χώρους για ισόβιο οργασμό μαγειρέματος και κανακέματος και φροντίδας προκειμένου να κάνει τη μικρή γωνία του δικού της κόσμου ωραία και φιλόξενη, και τότε ο διαχωρισμός είναι πλήρης - όταν όμως συμβεί αυτό, εσύ πρέπει να είσαι ενήλικας. Μέσα στη σωσίβια λέμβο της ζωής σου υπάρχει χώρος μόνο για έναν, κι εσύ πάντα επιλέγεις τον εαυτό σου, και μετατρέπεις τους γονείς σου σε ό,τι χρειάζεσαι για να κρατηθείς στην επιφάνεια.”
― Anna Quindlen, quote from One True Thing
“TWAS SAID better to light a candle than to curse the dark, but in the town of New York in the summer of 1702 one might do both, for the candles were small and the dark was large. True, there were the town-appointed constables and watchmen.”
― Robert R. McCammon, quote from The Queen of Bedlam
“I want to cry but I don’t. I don’t. There are pieces of yourself, so many pieces of yourself, that, once you give away, you cannot get back again.”
― Lisa Gardner, quote from Live to Tell
“I can explain to you why algebra is useful. But that is not what algebra is really for.' He moved his fingers gently on my temples. 'It's to keep what is in here healthy. PE for the head. And the great thing is you can do it sitting down.”

The Savage Detective...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.
