“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”

“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!”

“Era o Sistema que alimentava o grande mercado internacional da moda, o enorme arquipélago da elegância italiana. Cada recanto do globo fora atingido pelas grifes, pelos homens, pelos produtos do Sistema. Sistema, um termo aqui conhecido por todos, mas que em alguns lugares ainda está por ser decifrado, uma referência desconhecida para quem não conhece as dinâmicas do poder da economia do crime. Camorra é uma palavra inexistente, para policiais. É usada pelos magistrados, pelos jornalistas, pelos cineastas. É uma palavra que faz rir seus filiados, é uma indicação genérica, um termo para estudiosos, relegado à dimensão histórica. O termo em que se definem os pertences a um clã é Sistema: "Pertenço ao Sistema de Secondigliano". Um termo eloquente, um mecanismo mais do que uma estrutura. A organização criminosa coincide diretamente com a economia, a dialética comercial é a estrutura dos clãs.”
― Roberto Saviano, quote from Gomorrah
“I am not going to live with regret for not having tried.”

“I haven’t had time,” I said, exasperated. “As soon as I remembered, I came straight here.” Ryan turned to face me before clicking on the results. I
didn’t like the way he was suddenly looking very suspiciously at me. “You were really upset…” he prompted, but I didn’t know what he wanted me to
say.
“Your point?”
“My point is, when you freaked out you came straight to me for help. That is the most girlfriendy thing ever. I don’t know why you won’t just accept
what you are.”
― Kelly Oram, quote from Being Jamie Baker
“A person who breaks a promise diminishes herself. It’s like losing a finger. It’s worse than being paralyzed, which is merely physical. Someone whose promises are worthless has a disabled soul.”
― Ken Follett, quote from Edge of Eternity
“Nada tenho que ver com a ciência; mas, se tantos homens em quem supomos juízo são reclusos por dementes, quem nos afirma que o alienado não é o alienista?”

In the Light of the...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.
