“Consider the stars. Among them are no passions, no wars. They know neither love nor hatred. Did man but emulate the stars, would not his soul become clear and radiant as they are? But man's spirit draws him like a moth to the ephemera of this world, and in their heat he is consumed entire.”
― Sarah Monette, quote from Mélusine
“Sacred bleeding fuck,” I said, because, I mean its one thing to know your crazy hocus brother sees ghosts, and a whole different thing when you find out they’re telling him bedtime stories.”
― Sarah Monette, quote from Mélusine
“Well fuck me sideways 'til I cry”
― Sarah Monette, quote from Mélusine
“I miss my fox-headed brother. Keeper”
― Sarah Monette, quote from Mélusine
“And besides, the thing about committing yourself to a lie is that mostly you end up in twice the trouble, 'cause truth is like a whirlwind and you can't keep it in a box.”

“You can be anything you want. Fate deals us our hand, but we decide how to play it. We all of us choose the people we want to be.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Endsinger
“Oh Dios, el tiempo corre, volando como un pájaro asustado. El pájaro del tiempo está volando y tiene poco camino para revolotear. El vino de la vida se está yendo gota a gota, y las hojas de la vida están cayendo una a una. Pronto, ante el Inefable todo hombre debe aparecer para rendir cuentas por los hechos realizados en el cuerpo. Oh, Padre, mantén en nosotros un sentido de santidad para que no podamos pecar y justificarlo, sino que el arrepentimiento sea profundo en nuestras vidas. Te lo pedimos en el nombre de Cristo. Amén.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Konuş benimle, tamam mı? Konuş. Monty? Böyle yapma. Bu bizim son gecemiz." "Bizim son gecemiz değil bu. Benim son gecem. Seninse yarından itibaren önünde bir dolu lanet olası gece var. Dışarı çıkabilir, bir avukatın içki ısmarlamasına izin verebilir, Hudson' da çırılçıplak yüzebilirsin. Önünde çok zamanın var."
...
Onun yarınları olacağını, kahkahalar atıp, dostlarıyla eğleneceğini, kaldırımlarda dolaşıp, vitrinlere bakacağını, lokantalarda akşam yemekleri yiyeceğini düşününce kendini çok yalnız hissediyordu. Sigarayı elinde tuttu ama yakmadı.
Bir an yalnızca kısacık bir an Naturelle' den şüphelenmemiş miydi? O çılgın anda kadının telefonla evde uyuşturucu gizlendiği ihbarını yapmış olabileceği aklından geçmemiş miydi? O düşünceyi hemen aklından uzaklaştırmıştı sonra da. Neden böyle bir şey yapsın ki? Beni ihbar etmekten ne çıkarı olabilir? Ama bir kez insanın aklına kurt düşmeye görsün, bir daha benzer düşünceler kolay kolay zihinden atılamıyordu. Kuşku inancı giderek kemiriyordu. Ona bir daha güvenebilecek miydi? Ve eğer seninle yatan kadına güvenemezsen, en savunmasız anlarında yanında olan kadına itimat edemezsen, dünyada kime güvenebilirsin ki?”
― David Benioff, quote from The 25th Hour
“A man devoted time to what mattered to him—to what he deemed worthy of his attention.”

Jamaica InnBookQuoters 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.
