Popular quotes

“That's not what it looked like'
He hangs his ha. "I know what it looked like. I wanted it to look that way.'
'Why?'
'Because I'm an idiot.' he brushes away a teardrop that creeps along his cheek. His eyes meet mine. 'I wanted to show you how you hurt me.'
'When have I hurt you like that? I've never even looked at another guy'
'See? You don't get it. That's why I needed to teach you a lesson.”
― S.M. Parker, quote from The Girl Who Fell

“Maybe there is an invisible world working behind our own, maybe words in the silence, maybe movements in what looks completely still. When every door is closed, maybe doors are opening that can’t be seen.”
― Lene Fogelberg, quote from Beautiful Affliction

“She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot.
And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king.
There was no beauty without risk. No life without it.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Carolina Moon

“Weißt du, welchen Fehler man immer wieder macht? Den, zu glauben, das Leben sei unwandelbar und wenn man einmal einen Weg eingeschlagen habe, müsse man ihn auch bis zum Ende gehen.
Das Schicksal hat viel mehr Fantasie als wir.
Gerade, wenn du glaubst, du befändest dich in einer ausweglosen Situation, wenn du den Gipfel höchster Verzweiflung erreichst, verändert sich mit der Geschwindigkeit eines Windstoßes alles, dreht sich und plötzlich lebst du unvermutet ein neues Leben”
― Susanna Tamaro, quote from Follow Your Heart

“Then stop trying to throw logic at nightmares. Sometimes the monsters are real, Anita. Sometimes they're real and the only way to defeat them is to be the bigger monster. ~Bibiana to Anita”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, quote from Bullet

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.
