“Blood was shed that you three might breathe the good air of life, and if that means you have to miss out on a Zibzy game, then so be it. Part of being a man is putting others' needs before your own.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“There's just something about the way he sings. It makes me think of when it snows outside, and the fire is warm, and Podo is telling us a story while you're cooking, and there's no place I'd rather be--but for some reason I still feel... homesick.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“In the immortal words of Loshain P'stane, 'If anyone reads this without permission, he will be most certainly and brutally slain. Or at the very least I'll chop off a finger or two. Or three.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“Before roaring over Fingap Falls, the River Blapp was wide and peaceful, clear as a spring, and the fish to be caught there were both delicious and docile, except for the many fish that were poisonous to the touch, and the daggerfish that were known to leap into boats and impale the stoutest fisherman.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“That evil was a nameless evil, an evil whose name was Gnag the Nameless.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“It is no small thing to be a Throne Warden of Anniera. They have been sung about by bards for a thousand years and are accorded a place of honor like no other kingdom—like no other king—in the world—not because they’re lords, but because they’re servants.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“Right now, for your Podo, the thing before him is to find Leeli, not to think about how it happened or who’s to blame. And the thing before us is to wait in this old cottage without giving up hope. Even if hope is just a low ember at night, in the morning you can still start a fire.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“they’d say things like “Good show!” or “Ho-lo, mommy-crack-a-whip!” or “Boozie!” or “Indibnibly fine shot!”

“toppling face first into a neat, fresh pile of Danny the carthorse’s nuggets.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“when the only thing he’s heard for the last hour is the snort of a horse and his own toots.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
“Tink dreamed of sea dragons and pie. Leeli dreamed of sea dragons and dogs. Janner dreamed of sea dragons and his father.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness

“مي خواستم به مردم بياموزم كه به نبض طبيعت گوش فرا بدهند، در كليت و پهنه زندگي فعالانه شركت جويند و، تحت فشار ناشي از زندگي حقيرشان، از ياد نبرند كه ما خداوندان اساطيري نيستيم و ما خودمان را نيافريده ايم، بلكه كودكان زمين هستيم و پاره اي از جهان هستي.”

“Vic didn’t mind at all being considered odd. In fact, he was proud of it in a country in which most people aimed at being exactly like everybody else.”
― Patricia Highsmith, quote from Deep Water
“Some are worse off than they were just a few months or years before. But the vast majority of people are much better fed, much better sheltered, much better entertained, much better protected against disease and much more likely to live to old age than their ancestors have ever been. The availability of almost everything a person could want or need has been going rapidly upwards for 200 years and erratically upwards for 10,000 years before”

Eve & AdamBookQuoters 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.
