Quotes from Outcast of Redwall

“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

Which no rat born could face
Oh woe to those who break the law
Of Sunflash and his mace!”

“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

About the author

Popular quotes

“I was with them for all of it, but more like an echo than a participant.”
― Aimee Bender, quote from The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

“He got up and ran on, pitching himself down the hill, flying through the branches of the firs, leaping roots and rocks without seeing them. As he went, the hill got steeper and steeper, until it was really like falling. He was going too fast and he knew when he came to a stop, it would involve crashing into something, and shattering pain.

Only as he went on, picking up speed all the time, until with each leap he seemed to sail through yards of darkness, he felt a giddy surge of emotion, a sensation that might have been panic but felt strangely like exhilaration. He felt as if at any moment his feet might leave the ground and never come back down. He knew this forest, this darkness, this night. He knew his chances: not good. He knew what was after him. It had been after him all his life. He knew where he was - in a story about to unfold an ending. He knew better than anyone how these stories went, and if anyone could find their way out of these woods, it was him.

("Best New Horror")”
― Joe Hill, quote from 20th Century Ghosts

“Reală, adevărată, este doar devenirea însăși, blocul de devenire, nu niște termeni presupuși ficși în care s-ar transforma cel care devine. ... Devenirea-animal a omului este reală fără ca animalul care devine omul să fie real. ... o devenire nu are un subiect distinct de ea însăși... (Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari)”
― Gilles Deleuze, quote from A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

“Words are so easily spoken, as you’ve proven", the Deity had continued, "but so rarely are they backed up with action”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Wicked Nights

“-You said this wasn't a cult.
-Secret society. There's a difference.
-Not from where I'm standing.
-Then take a seat.”
― Jennifer Bosworth, quote from Struck

About BookQuoters

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.
