“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

“Sing, O muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.”
― Homer, quote from The Iliad of Homer
“Love surprises us in unexpected ways, in ways that are beyond our comprehension. It’s never the sweet words or the mushy gifts that matter. What matters more are little things like caring about someone and not being able to sleep till you’re sure that the one you love is safe and sound.”
― quote from You’re the Password to My Life
“The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed his hoarded heaps; and among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God’s foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. So man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.”
― Herman Melville, quote from Moby Dick: or, the White Whale
“something which is absurd or logically contradictory, but which appears at first glance to be the result of sound reasoning.”
― E.T. Jaynes, quote from Probability Theory: The Logic of Science
“There exists no greater or more painful anxiety for a man who has freed himself from all religious bias, than how he shall soonest find a new object or idea to worship. But man seeks to bow before that only which is recognized by the greater majority, if not by all his fellow-men, as having a right to be worshipped; whose rights are so unquestionable that men agree unanimously to bow down to it. For the chief concern of these miserable creatures is not to find and worship the idol of their own choice, but to discover that which all others will believe in, and consent to bow down to in a mass.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, quote from The Grand Inquisitor

Voces de Chernóbil:...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.
