“Dolgan: ’Tis a wise thing to know what is wanted, and wiser still to know when ‘tis achieved.
Rhuagh: True. And still wiser to know when it is unachievable, for then striving is folly.”
“Some love comes like the wind off the sea, while others grow slowly from the seeds of friendship and kindness." - Carline”
“Boys... You're all idiots" - Carlaine”
“Greška je u čoveku ili ženi, a ne u biti vaseljene.”
“Znati svoje želje, i spoznati tren njihovog ostvarenja, znaci su velike mudrosti.”
“Ljudi kažu da nas često najviše vređa deo sopstvenog lika u drugom čoveku.”
“- Nisi se ružno ponela prema meni, Karlina. Ja sam se ponašao kao tupan.
- Ne, ti si se samo ponašao kao prijatelj Rolande. Rekao si mi istinu, a ne ono što sam želela da čujem.”
“Znam, Kulgane, ali sam u skorije vreme bio toliko rastresen da je bes naprosto proključao u meni kada me je Ralf onako izvređao.
Pa, to što priznaješ sopstveni udeo dobar je znak da postaješ muškarac. Mnogi dečaci bi pokušali da se pravdaju, prebacuju krivicu na drugog ili pozivajući se na razloge časti.”
“Two Mountain Herd stallions were dead, and the rest were outnumbered. The dappled stallion called off his warriors and faced Thunderwing. “Leave our territory,” he said, breathing hard, his thick hair curled with sweat. “Not without all my weanlings,” said Thunderwing. “The two hiding over there, and the two you took hostage.” The dappled steed snorted. “They trespassed.” Thunderwing hesitated. “Then tell Rockwing I request a meeting.” The Mountain Herd stallion flared his wings. “A meeting?” He circled the dead bodies of his friends. “How about a war?” Thunderwing grimaced. “Just tell him.”
“Just kidding. Nate already claimed me as his sister wife, even though we’re both dudes. We’ll figure a way. We don’t need you guys. You can have your own Twosome Fearsome. Nate and I have realized our long-lost, deep…deeply buried love for each other. He’s my Twosome Gaysome. Come to my bosom, my little horny husband.”
“Choose wisely
From those who start
A fire in your heart.
Some may burn you to shreds,
While you were looking for warmth.”
“Please." It's one word, but the way I say it means so much more. Please don’t say anything. Please don’t look at me. Please don’t hurt me. Please just stay away. Please.”
“Okay, okay look.” She turned in her seat toward him. “The Old Testament is a bad example for all of this, and it’s not the testament I live by, we are under the New Covenant. And in there,” she pointed at him, “you are to have one wife. And love her. More than yourself even.” She nodded a lot. “Enough to die for her.”
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.
