“Think you have nine lives, do you? I saved you once.... don't make me save you again.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Crowpaw,I can hear the voices clearly now, this is for me to do.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“I know my name's Squirrelpaw, but I never thought I'd wish that I WAS a squirrel!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“From now on, wherever you walk, I will walk with you. . . ”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“I've changed my mind. I don't want to be a squirrel any more. I'd rather be a bird!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“To truly be a medicine cat lies in a cat's heart, and all its five senses. You must be braver than warriors, wiser than a clan leader, humbler than the tiniest kit, more willing to learn than an apprentice...”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Neither of them is right. And neither of them is wrong. Prophecies are strange things. Their words are never clear.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“These mysteries were too much for him; he was a warrior, and all he wanted was to follow the warrior code. But what should he do, when the code did not speak clearly to him?”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Why do Twolegs do anything? If we knew that, our lives would be a lot easier.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“It’s been a long time since Cloudtail ate kittypet food. He was young and stupid then.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Stormfur stopped short when he noticed a glow of admiration in Feathertail’s eyes. Surely his sister couldn’t be interested in Crowpaw? All he ever did was argue and push himself forward as if he were already a warrior. A cat from another Clan—and an apprentice at that!—had no right to start padding after Feathertail. And whatever did Feathertail see in him? Didn’t she know the problems this sort of thing could cause—hadn’t she learned that from their own parents? Then”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Twolegs are mad. Even the smallest kit knows that.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Crowpaw backed off a pace or two, still looking furious, and Feathertail pressed her nose against his flank”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“The Tribe of Endless Hunting has not shown that to me,” Stoneteller replied. “I do not know when the silver cat will come, or from where, but we will know it when he arrives.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“I’m starving!” she announced. “Where’s the prey around here?”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Feathertail gazed into the young prey-hunter’s eyes. She knew Brook believed what she was saying, but she couldn’t forget how Stormfur had thought that this cat was his friend. Stormfur didn’t make friends easily—a legacy of being half-Clan, always feeling as if he had more to prove than other warriors, as if he could never fight hard enough or catch enough prey. Feathertail had watched this she-cat win her brother’s trust, but now she had betrayed him, and would probably see him die in a battle with Sharptooth for the sake of her Tribe.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Medicine cat' means nothing on its own, without an understanding of what should be done--which isn't always what you first think.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise
“Well, I am sure, for we do not achieve this by ourselves, but by the strength of StarClan within us.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Moonrise

“...and finally, having lost what was to be lost, my torn and black heart rebels saying enough already, enough, this is as low as I go”
― George Saunders, quote from CivilWarLand in Bad Decline
“There is something to be said for the night. The darkness holds a sense of promise, as if anything could happen. Maybe something good, like a handsome stranger or something with snarling teeth that whispers pretty things as it eats you. Thus, the night is a test. A test of fear and the sweet promise of pain.”
― Meg Collett, quote from Fear University
“You are all a lost generation.
[with credit to Gertrude Stein]”
― Ernest Hemingway, quote from Fiesta
“If you consider yourself a victim, you are not going to have a good life; if, however, you refuse to think of yourself as a victim—if you refuse to let your inner self be conquered by your external circumstances—you are likely to have a good life, no matter what turn your external circumstances take. (In particular, the Stoics thought it possible for a person to retain his tranquility despite being punished for attempting to reform the society in which he lived.)”
― William B. Irvine, quote from A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy
“Most addicts here, he says, come with an empty glass inside them;66 when they take heroin, the glass becomes full, but only for a few hours, and then it drains down to nothing again. The purpose of this program is to gradually build a life for the addict so they can put something else into that empty glass: a social network, a job, some daily pleasures. If you can do that, it will mean that even as the heroin drains, you are not left totally empty. Over time, as your life has more in it, the glass will contain more and more, so it will take less and less heroin to fill it up. And in the end, there may be enough within you that you feel full without any heroin at all.”
― Johann Hari, quote from Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs

Mornings in JeninBookQuoters 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.
