“Soft sun shone down on a misty cathedral at the opposite end of a football-field length courtyard. The cathedral had a long pointed tower with beautiful rose and ivory stained glass windows. Pink-petal flowers and deep green ivy climbed the stones from the ground to it’s roof. A large fountain stood in the middle of the courtyard with water falling from several lion’s heads. Between the misty air and rolling slope of the earth, the grounds reminded me of a long lost fairy tale.”

“Whatever mischief you're up to, I'll be there for it. Besides, someone must ensure that you behave like a lady."
I skittered to a stop. "Like a lady? Which is how exactly?" My voice was shrill. He had picked a poor moment to antagonize me.
"Biddable."
"Biddable? Biddable!" Somehow my pitch was even screechier than before. I kicked my bottom high and dipped my chest low-a perfect display of the Grecian bend. "It it's a camel you wish to have,sir,then you are on the wrong continent!”
― Susan Dennard, quote from Something Strange and Deadly
“I mean you're only 26 in couple of days, although, you are now officially closer to thirty than twenty!”

“Spiritual leaders must help their people see beyond God's acts to recognize the way God consistently works with his people, time and time again. To do this, spiritual leaders must develop their own understanding and recognition of God's activity in their midst.”
― Henry T. Blackaby, quote from Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God's Agenda
“O halde cesaretimi ve çalışkanlığımı kanıtlayıp övgünüze mazhar olduğuma göre, şimdi sağduyumu kanıtlamama ne dersiniz? Ama haklı olarak ateşle su bir arada durmaz diyebilirsiniz. Gerçekten bu konuda da başarılı olacağıma inanıyorum, siz yeter ki daha önce yaptığınız gibi bana kulak verin ve dikkatinizi eksik etmeyin. Her şeyden önce, sağduyu deneyimle gelişiyorsa, sağduyulu unvanını en çok kim hak ediyor acaba, kah utangaçlığından kah korkaklığından hiçbir şeye girişemeyen bilge mi, yoksa utangaçlık nedir bilmeyen ve tehlike denen şey üzerine hiç kafa yormadığından hiçbir şeyden korkup çekinmeyen deli mi? Bilge, Eskilerin kitaplarına sığınır, buralardan eskilerin söylediği salt ayrıntıları öğrenir. Ama deli hiç düşünmeden tehlikelerin üstüne atılarak, yanıldığımı hiç sanmıyorum, gerçek sağduyuyu edinir. Bana öyle geliyor ki, kör olmasına rağmen Homeros, deli bile yaşadıklarından sonra bilge kesilir derken bu gerçeği görmüştü. Çünkü olayları yaşayarak öğrenmenin önünde iki büyük engel vardır, ilke zihne bir sis perdesi çeken utanç; ikincisi, tehlikeli olduğu açıkça görünen olayların üstüne gitmekten alıkoyan korku. Delilik bizi bu engellerden muhteşem şekilde kurtarır.”

The LivingBookQuoters 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.
