“All little creatures are beautiful...every living thing when it first sees life is born in beauty. What they grow to be is a different matter.”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Outcast of Redwall
“I think that others can drive a creature to naughtiness, always accusing and blaming them. After a while it must make the creature unhappy and drive him...to be naughty, because nobody expects them to be good...”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Outcast of Redwall
“You love young ones and babes, I know this. The young will always befriend and admire you...all the young ones of the earth belong to you in friendship. Be good to them.
—Breeze, to Sunflash the Mace”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Outcast of Redwall
“He came with death held in his paw
Which no rat born could face
Oh woe to those who break the law
Of Sunflash and his mace!”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Outcast of Redwall
“Each of us is born to follow a star, be it bright and shining or dark and fated. Sometimes the path of these stars will cross, bringing love or hatred. However, if you look up at the skies on a clear night, out of all the countless lights that twinkle and shine, there will come one. That star will be seen in a blaze, burning a path of light across the roof of the earth, a great comet.”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Outcast of Redwall
“Scoffin' a load of our grub an' not tellin' a story? I say, what a bally swizz!”

“It's a jolly little junior vermin!”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Outcast of Redwall
“Aye, she’m cutten our tails off’n us wi’ a single swipe, missie!”

“But remember, if the world didn’t suck, we’d all fall off it.”
― Janet Gurtler, quote from #16thingsithoughtweretrue
“Professor Harold Laski declared that the attainment of power by the British Labour Party in the normal parliamentary fashion must result in a radical transformation of parliamentary government. A socialist administration needs ‘guarantees’ that its work of transformation would not be ‘disrupted’ by repeal in event of its defeat at the polls. Therefore the suspension of the Constitution is ‘inevitable’.”
― Ludwig von Mises, quote from Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis
“There goes a saying, and 'twas shrewdly said, “Old fish at table, but young flesh in bed.”” Alexander Pope”
― Young, quote from Initiation
“I know what you must think of me,' [the Doctor] said, his voice so slow. It was like a voice designed for laughing that didn't get to do it often. 'I'm going to tell you a story about a man who travels, and everywhere he goes, he makes everyone's lives better. I'm not that man. That man doesn't exist. I wish he did.' He smiled. 'I'd believe in him.”
― James Goss, quote from Doctor Who: Dead of Winter
“I wanted to believe this was all some sick joke. Or a nightmare. I wanted to wake up to Rachel in my arms again, smiling softly as she studied the way the light caught on the diamond on her finger. My vision blurred again and I shut my eyes, letting the tears fall down my face. I didn’t care that Mason could see them; I didn’t care about anything anymore. My reason for living didn’t want me.”
― Molly McAdams, quote from Forgiving Lies

Steps to ChristBookQuoters 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.
