“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

“The city which lay below was a charnel house built on multi-layered bones centuries older than those which lay beneath the cities of Hamburg or Dresden. Was this knowledge part of the mystery it held for her, a mystery felt most strongly on a bell-chimed Sunday on her solitary exploration of its hidden alleys and squares? Time had fascinated her from childhood, its apparent power to move at different speeds, the dissolution it wrought on minds and bodies, her sense that each moment, all moments past and those to come, were fused into an illusory present which with every breath became the unalterable, indestructible past. In the City of London these moments were caught and solidified in stone and brick, in churches and monuments and in bridges which spanned the grey-brown ever-flowing Thames. She would walk out in spring or summer as early as six o'clock, double-locking the front door behind her, stepping into a silence more profound and mysterious than the absence of noise. Sometimes in this solitary perambulation it seenmed that her own footsteps were muted, as if some part of her were afraid to waken the dead who had walked thse streets and had known the same silence.”
― P.D. James, quote from The Private Patient
“Centuries of enlightenment and progress vanished virtually overnight because Men couldn’t find a way to use it wisely and purposefully.”
― Terry Brooks, quote from Bearers of the Black Staff
“I swayed between fear, defiance, and nausea, and was wholly the prey of my passion. I could not and did not want to listen to the depths. But on the seventh night, the spirit of the depths spoke to me: “Look into your depths, pray to your depths, waken the dead.”
― C.G. Jung, quote from The Red Book: Liber Novus
“Most adults never master a foreign language, especially the phonology—hence the ubiquitous foreign accent.”
― Steven Pinker, quote from The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language
“I told you not to take off work for this."
“And miss your big finale? No way.I’m all atwitter to see how things turn out.”
“That’s cute, Jordo.” Then he frowned as
Nick McCall was suddenly there, in their lives, and
Kyle was therefore being a little…cautious before
welcoming him into the family.
“Be nice, Kyle,” Jordan warned.
“What?” he asked innocently. “When have I ever
not been nice to Tall, Dark, and You Can’t Be
Serious About This Guy?”
“I like him. Get used to it.”

Ghost Road BluesBookQuoters 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.
