“Wizard's Tenth Rule
Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Phantom
“Over the millennia the seed of stories planted in the fertile soil of bits and scraps of facts was watered by wishes and began to take root and grow. Eventually, a bountiful fruit of rumors burst forth, to be spread on the wind of whispers that said we hid a fabled hoard of gold. Nothing could convince the believers that it was not true. The truth does not glitter for these people like gold does.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Phantom
“Kahlan stood quietly in the shadows, watching, as evil knocked softly on the door.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Phantom
“Life could be brutal, but that such brutality did not define life or its purpose, and that the sexes were not rivals, but meant to share together in the work and joys of life.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Phantom
“Willfully turing aside from the truth is treason to one's self”

“Faith itself, you see, is the key-the magic wand that they wave over the bubbling brew they have concocted to render it 'self-evident'.”

“I’m insane for you, Amy. ‘Like’ lasted all of ten minutes.”
― Lisa Renee Jones, quote from Escaping Reality
“Gender matters everywhere in the world. And I would like today to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves. And this is how to start: We must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, quote from We Should All Be Feminists
“Deadwood sure isn’t thriving, but it’s still standing. And the landscape is breathtaking. It’s sitting right on the edge of the Black Hills National Forest, with its eerie rock formations, beautiful pine forests, barren rock, canyons, and creeks. I can’t think of a more beautiful place on Earth. I can understand why someone would want to build something there.”
― Sylvain Neuvel, quote from Sleeping Giants
“An Albanian’s house is the dwelling of God and the guest.’ Of God and the guest, you see. So before it is the house of its master, it is the house of one’s guest. The guest, in an Albanian’s life, represents the supreme ethical category, more important than blood relations. One may pardon the man who spills the blood of one’s father or of one’s son, but never the blood of a guest.”
― Ismail Kadare, quote from Broken April
“إذا كان هذا الصباح وهذا اللقاء حلمين، فعلى كلينا أن يظن أنه الحالم.وربما توقفنا عن الحلم،وربما واصلناه. وواجبناالجلي، في الوقت نفسه،هو أن نقبل بالحلم تماماًكما نقبل وبأننا نولد ونرى ونتنفس "
قال الآخر بجزع: وإذا استمر الحلم ؟”
― Jorge Luis Borges, quote from The Book of Sand and Shakespeare's Memory

Sleeping GiantsBookQuoters 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.
