“Everything is exactly as it is for a reason.
The crumb on your table is
no mystical reminder of this morning's cookie,
it is there because you have chosen not to remove it.
No exceptions.”
― Richard Bach, quote from Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul
“You gave your life to become the person you are right now Was it worth it?”
― Richard Bach, quote from Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul
“Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile and watch your answers change.”
― Richard Bach, quote from Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul
“Everything in this book may be wrong.”
― Richard Bach, quote from Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul
“There is
no such thing as a problem
without a gift for you
in its hands.
You seek problems
because you need
their gifts.”
― Richard Bach, quote from Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul
“Any powerful idea is absolutely fascinating and absolutely useless until you decide to put it to work.”

“I hope you don't really see yourself that way," I said.
He turned to look at me and narrowed his eyes. "How do you see me?" he said softly.
... "I think you're. . ." My voice went nearly silent. "Dangerous."
"Why?" he whispered....
". . . You make me think too much."
.... "I can't help it, Alexis," he said. "I want to make you think too much. . . and then I want to hear the things you've been thinking. . . too much.”

“I think people can be so crushed, so broken, that they'll never be anything more than a fragment of a whole person.”
― Chevy Stevens, quote from Still Missing
“Imagine you had a friend who was there for you all the time and you were there for them, but they stopped being there for you as much as they used to which you can understand a little because people have things to do, but then they’re around less and less no matter how much you try to reach out to them. Then suddenly one day - nothing - they’re gone. Just like that. Then you write to them, and you’re ignored, and then you write to them again and you’re ignored and finally you write to them for a third time and they barely even want to make the appointment, they’re so busy with their job, their friends and their car. How would you feel?”
― Cecelia Ahern, quote from The Time of My Life

Works of P. G. Wodeh...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.
