“know what you want, work to get it, then value it once you have it.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Morrigan's Cross
“What is technology?" Cian pulled his brother inside, pushed the button for the next floor. "It's another god.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Morrigan's Cross
“Remind me not to piss you off Red. You might aim for the heart and shoot me in the balls.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Morrigan's Cross
“What if there's a fire?" Glenna said sweetly, and Cian merely smiled. "Then I guess you'd better open a window, and fly.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Morrigan's Cross
“Since it was there, Larkin got another bowl, spooned up stew for himself.
“He fights with us. We’re an army.”
“An army? Talk about delusions of grandeur. What are you?” she asked Glenna.
“Witch.”
“So, we’ve got a witch, a sorcerer, a couple of refugees from Geall and a vampire. Some army.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Morrigan's Cross
“There are always monsters,” the old man replied. “Just as there are always men who will join them, and men who will fight them.”

“I wish I could break this window. Step through it. But I can't break this window. I can't even find some less dramatic way to die inside of this school, like hanging myself or slitting my wrists, because what would they do with my body? It might put everyone at risk. I won't let myself do that.
I'm not selfish like Lily.
I hate her. I hate her so much my heart tries to crawl out of my throat but it gets stuck there and beats crazily in the too narrow space. I bring my hands to my neck and try to massage it back down. I pres so heard against the skin, my eyes sting, and then I'm hurrying back down the stairs, back to the first floor. I think of Trace running laps, something he can control.”
― Courtney Summers, quote from This is Not a Test
“As long as you remember the whys, the hows will take care of themselves.”
― Richard Paul Evans, quote from Rise of the Elgen
“El tiempo pasó. Pero el tiempo se divide en muchas corrientes. Como en un río, hay una corriente central rápida en algunos sectores y lenta, hasta inmóvil, en otros. El tiempo cósmico es igual para todos, pero el tiempo humano difiere con cada persona. El tiempo corre de la misma manera para todos los seres humanos; pero todo ser humano flota de distinta manera en el tiempo. Al aproximarse a los cuarenta, Otoko se preguntaba si el hecho de que Oki siguiera dentro de ella significaba que esa corriente del tiempo se había estancado, en lugar de seguir su curso. ¿O acaso la imagen que ella conservaba de él había flotado con ella a través del tiempo como una flor que avanza aguas abajo? Ella ignoraba cómo había flotado su propia imagen en la corriente de Oki. No podía haberla olvidado; pero, sin duda, el tiempo había corrido de manera diferente para él. Las corrientes del tiempo nunca son iguales para dos personas, ni siquiera cuando son amantes.”
― Yasunari Kawabata, quote from Beauty and Sadness
“These were the names she whispered in the dark.
These were the pieces she brought back into place.
These were the wolves she rode to war.”

“Remember that it is not the lawyer who knows the most law, but the one who best prepares his case, who wins.”

The Monk Who Sold Hi...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.
