Quotes from Love's Reckoning

“Tears glinted in her eyes. "I want no secrets between us, Silas."

"No secrets," he echoed, his mouth near the gentle curve of her ear. "Then you should know I can hardly breathe for thinking of you. You're the most maddening lass I've ever known, and every day without you near is an agony to me." Taking her face between his hands, he moved to kiss her, but the sound of approaching horses gave him pause.”
― Laura Frantz, quote from Love's Reckoning

“Mr Davis was a middle class tremble of a man worried about an unseemly display and his Jerry Springer moment”
― Saira Viola, quote from Crack Apple And Pop!

“La persona que usa el dinero para servir a un ídolo profundo como el del control, a menudo se sentirá superior a las personas que lo usan para alcanzar el poder o la aprobación social. Sin embargo, en todos los casos la idolatría del dinero esclaviza y distorsiona vidas. En cierta ocasión, otro pastor de mi iglesia aconsejó a un matrimonio que había tenido graves conflictos sobre su administración del dinero. La esposa consideraba que su marido era un avaro. Un día, el pastor estaba hablando a solas con el marido, que se quejaba amargamente sobre lo manirrota que era su esposa. “¡Es tan egoísta, gasta tanto dinero en ropa y en su aspecto!” Entendía claramente cómo la necesidad de su esposa de estar atractiva para otros influía en su uso del dinero. Entonces, el pastor le expuso el concepto de ídolos profundos y de superficie. “¿Se da cuenta de que por no gastar o dar nada, al guardar cada céntimo, es igual de egoísta que ella? «Gasta» absolutamente todo en su necesidad de sentirse seguro, protegido, en tener el control”. Afortunadamente para el consejero, el hombre quedó más conmocionado que furioso. “Nunca lo había visto así”, dijo, y las cosas empezaron a cambiar en aquel matrimonio. Por este motivo, los ídolos no se pueden erradicar eliminando sencillamente los de superficie, como el dinero o el sexo. Podemos mirarlos y decir: “Tengo que quitarle importancia a esto en mi vida. No debo permitir que me controle. Lo detendré”. Los ataques directos como ese no funcionarán, porque a los ídolos profundos se los debe atacar en el nivel del corazón. Sólo hay una manera de cambiar en ese nivel, y es por medio de la fe en el evangelio.”
― Timothy J. Keller, quote from Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope That Matters

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.
