“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.”

“Beside me, Richie chimed in. "What the... Max. there's a girl on your face."
Sara pulled back and her eyes widened in realization. "Oh, crap."
"Calm down," I told her quietly. "No one here gives a fuck who we are. They hardly remember my name every week."
"Patently untrue," Richie said. "Your name is Twat."
I tilted my head to him, smiling at Sara. "Like I said.”

“What other dungeon is so dark as one's own heart! What jailer so in exorable as one's self!”

“When a golden girl can win
Prayer from out the lips of sin,
When the barren almond bears,
And a little child gives away its tears,
Then shall all the house be still
And peace come to Canterville.”
― Oscar Wilde, quote from The Canterville Ghost
“One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil.”

Something From Tiffa...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.
