“I wonder if I can get pizza in Avalon.”
― Stacey O'Neale, quote from Mortal Enchantment
“He pressed the blade of his sword into the ground. As he pulled his arm over his head for a stretch, a bead of sweat trickled down his neck and over a row of muscles on his stomach. I swallowed hard. The window's edge dug into my skin but I refused to move an inch. The tiny droplet disappeared into the waistband of his shorts. I had seen plenty of guys in gym class with their shirts off, but none of them looked like...that. He was physical perfection - a living work of art.
I sat on my knees with my chin relaxed on my crossed arms, unable to look away.
"Enjoying the view?" he said, eyes suddenly on me. His chiseled face wore an overly confident grin. Clearly he was used to being admired.
My cheeks burned.
I stood, pretending to check out the scenery. "Not much to see."
He raised an eyebrow, letting me know he knew I was full of crap.”

“I gotta say, I was really feeling the robe, but there's something about a girl in cartoon pajamas that does it for me.”

“Rowan was cocky, impatient, and downright infuriating. He winked and my stomach felt like a hundred dragonflies were doing summersaults. Nope, I refuse to be attracted to him.”
― Stacey O'Neale, quote from Mortal Enchantment
“He smirked and sat up "Simmer down, Jelly Bean.”

“Some months earlier one of his oldest friends, Junto charter member Hugh Roberts, had written with news of the club and how the political quarreling in Philadelphia had continued to divide the membership. Franklin expressed hope that the squabbles would not keep Roberts from the meetings. “’tis now perhaps one of the oldest clubs, as I think it was formerly one of the best, in the King’s dominions; it wants but about two years of forty since it was established.” Few men were so lucky as to belong to such a group. “We loved and still love one another; we are grown grey together and yet it is too early to part. Let us sit till the evening of life is spent; the last hours were always the most joyous. When we can stay no longer ’tis time enough then to bid each other good night, separate, and go quietly to bed.” And”

“لقد شكل الإنسان ويشكل يوميا نظاما ذاتيا يجرده من هويته, وهذا ليس سوء فهم للتاريخ يصعب تفسيره, او انحراف لاعقلاني او نتيجة لارادة شيطانية عليا قررت لأسباب غير معروفة أن يتعذب فصيل من البشر. يمكن أن يحدث هذا, وهو جائز لأن الإنسان الحديث يمتلك سمات معينة تجعله يشكل هذا النظام أو على الأقل يتحمله. يبدو انه يحمل في طياته شيئا يعد مثل هذا النظام امتداد له أو انعكاس له ويتفق معه. يحمل شيئا يبطل كل محاولة لتحفيز "الأنا الجيدة".
الإنسان مجبر على العيش في الكذب, لكن مجبر على ذلك لأنه قادر على حياة كهذه. فليس فقط النظام هو الذي يحول الإنسان ونفسه, بل الإنسان المنفصل عن نفسه هو الذي يدعم هذا النظام وكأنه مشروعه البديهي, وكأنه صورة منحطة لانحطاطه, وكانه دليلا على فشله.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless
“When we commit to waking up and revolting against the ignorance and oppression of classism, racism, sexism, and all forms of greed, hatred, and delusion in the world, the first step we must take in that revolt is a personal dedication to purify our actions from these things that cause harm.”
― Noah Levine, quote from Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries
“People with insecure high self-esteem tend to be insensitive to others and to show an excessive preoccupation with themselves, with success, and with their image and appearance in the eyes of others. This unhealthy high self-esteem is often called “threatened egotism,” “insecure high self-esteem,” or narcissism.44 At its most extreme, the constant”

Carter Beats the Dev...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.
