“Hey guys,' I said. 'Don't be idiots. This is Evan. Evan, the angry-looking one is Jerom, the constipated-looking one is Nathan, and the goofball on the right is Gage.'
Gage laughed. 'Constipated, Nathan? We said to look fierce.”
― Kasie West, quote from On the Fence
“I don’t know how to get over it.” “You can only go through it.”

“I looked up recurring dreams.
Dreams are messages, things our minds want us to learn. Recurring dreams can be really important messages. The often come in the form of nightmares. Recurring dreams could represent real-life problem that hasn't been dealt with or resolved. Overcoming or resolving that problem could help one move past the recurring dream.”

“Dancing wasn't quite the same as running . . . or any sport, for that matter. I didn't feel like I had a purpose, a goal. But after a while I let my mind relax and realized not everything had to have a point. Some things could just be for the fun of it. I looked over at Amber dancing next to me. She smiled, then hooked her arm in mine and twirled me around. My surroundings blurred and I soaked the moment in, deciding this night was something I could do again.”
― Kasie West, quote from On the Fence
“Maybe I should go to the concert. I was a sporting-event type of girl, not a loud-music event one. At least that's what I had always thought. But here I was standing in this store, in these clothes, hearing the sound of laughter in the back room, and realizing that maybe there was more to me than I realized.”

― Samantha Young, quote from Into the Deep
“-لماذا لا يحق لنا أن ننتقد ونعتبر الناس مغفلين ومعتوهين؟ بذريعة أننا سنبدو غائظين وغيورين؟ يتصرف الجميع على أننا متساوون، على أننا أثرياءـ مثقفون، أقوياء، بيض، صفر، وسيمون، ذكور، سعداء، بصحة جيدة، لدينا سيارة ضخمة.. ولكن هذا ليس صحيحًا. وبالتالي، لدي الحق في أن أحتج وأن أكون على مزاج سيء، وألا أبتسم بسذاجة طيلة الوقت، وأدلي برأيي حينما أرى أمورًا غير طبيعية ومجحفة، وحتى شتم بعض الناس. هذا حقي في الإعتراض.
- أوافقك الرأي، ولكن… هذا متعب. ربما علينا أن نفعل شيئًا أفضل من هذا، أليس كذلك؟
- أنت محق. من الغباء أن نهدر طاقتنا في أمور لا تستحق عناء ذلك. من الأفضل أن نوفر قوانا للتسلية.”

Keys to the Demon Pr...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.
