“Sometimes, before you make any plans or resolutions, before you declare your heroic intent to persevere, you just have to cry.”
― Jaclyn Dolamore, quote from Magic Under Glass
“I furrowed my eyebrows."Are you looking at my bosom, sir?"
The eyes snapped back up. "At such a serious moment? What do you take me for?"
"A rogue, I believe." I tried not to smile.”
― Jaclyn Dolamore, quote from Magic Under Glass
“If one spends too many hours in solitude, one starts to emote for one’s own benefit.”
― Jaclyn Dolamore, quote from Magic Under Glass
“At night I dream of things I scoff at by day.”
― Jaclyn Dolamore, quote from Magic Under Glass
“They were full of mysteries and secrets, like... like poems turned into landscapes."
"'Poems turned into landscapes.'" he murmured with a slight smile. "And what of Vestenveld's gardens? Do you see poems in them?"
"Your gardens are like your country's poetry. Very frilly and organized.”

“Les avares ne croient point a une vie a venir, le present est tout pour eux. Cette reflexion jette une horrible clarte sur l'epoque actuelle, ou, plus qu'en aucun autre temps, l'argent domine les lois, la politique et les moeurs. Institutions, livres, hommes et doctrines, tout conspire a miner la croyance d'une vie future sur laquelle l'edifice social est appuye depuis dix-huit cents ans. Maintenant le cercueil est une transition peu redoutee. L'avenir, qui nous attendait par dela le requiem, a ete transpose dans le present. Arriver _per fas et nefas_ au paradis terrestre du luxe et des jouissances vaniteuses, petrifier son coeur et se macerer le corps en vue de possessions passageres, comme on souffrait jadis le martyre de la vie en vue de biens eternels, est la pensee generale! pensee d'ailleurs ecrite partout, jusque dans les lois, qui demandent au legislateur: Que payes-tu? au lieu de lui dire: Que penses-tu? Quand cette doctrine aura passe de la bourgeoisie au peuple, que deviendra le pays?”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from Eugénie Grandet
“Mr. Sourpuss Pants God I love her Nicholas " Thomas crowed. When he noticed that neither Nicholas nor Inez looked impressed by the words he added quickly "In a totally sister-in-law type fashion of course.”

“Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. 11 Wisdom will multiply your days”
― quote from Holy Bible: New Living Translation
“O anda, tek istediğim birkaç gram otokontroldü. Tam o sırada ondan uzaklabilirdim ve daha sonra olanların hiçbiri olmazdı. Ama hiç de önlem seven biri değildim, olmak da istemiyordum. Yirmi beş yaşındaydım ve asla güvende olmayı özlemedim. "İnsan her şeyi yapabilir, yapılması gerekenkerli ve yapılmaması gerekenleri." Dali'nin ifadesi böyle bir şeydi.”

DrownBookQuoters 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.
