“Ari, maybe we should get you out of here. No joke. You really are dangerous with thus truth serum in you, You might sat something you wished you hadn't."
"Like that your mum scares me, but I think your dad is kind of cute in and old-guy sort of way?"
"Exactly like that."
"Eh. I'm not worried.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
“Kyra." Fred caught Kyra's eyes. "I'm not in love with Ariana and I don't want half the kingdom."
"You don't?"
He shook his head. "But I might stick around for a little while longer. There are some interesting things in the Kingdom of Mohr."
"Like what?"
"Like a certain funny and extremely talented potioner."
Kyra took a breath. "I have to warn you, Hal isn't that great as a boyfriend. He's pretty self absorbed.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
“I'm glad you escaped, Kyra," Fred said, looking serious again. "And that I found you."
"Me too," Kyra said, glancing up at him. "It wouldn't have been much of a life trying to live in the dumbwaiter."
Fred leaned down and kissed Kyra full on the lips.
Kyra pulled away. "How do you know I'm interested in you? Just because you've decided I'm worth hanging around for doesn't mean I feel the same way."
Fred cocked his head at her. "Really?"
"Oh, okay," Kyra said.
Then she kissed him back.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
“Okay, that one's pretty good," Fred acknowledged, after she'd told him a particularly filthy joke. "But have you heard the one about the baker's wife?"
"No," Kyra said.
"Rumor has it, she married him for his buns." Fred burst out laughing.
Kyra groaned. "Okay, that was just bad.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
“Ariana, there's a small rodent on your face. Thought you should know."
"It's a mustache. Kyra assured me that it's extremely convincing.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
“How you look isn't about the face you were born with, it's what you do with it.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
“You know,” he said, “you didn’t have to go to all of this trouble just to get my attention.”

“Awareness
There is a dark place.
A place where I have no eyes, no mouth. No words.
I can't cry out because I have no breath. The silence is so deep I want to die.
But I can't.
The darkness and silence go on forever.
It is not a dream.
I don't dream.”
― Mary E. Pearson, quote from The Adoration of Jenna Fox
“O zamana değin, çocukken insana sonsuz gibi görünen bir yolda yılların yavaş yavaş ve hafifçe geçtiği, böylece hiç kimsenin akıp gittiklerinin ayırdına varmadığı bir yolda, hep ilk gençliğinin kaygısızlığıyla ilerlemişti, insan bu yolda, sakin sakin, çevresine merakla bakarak ilerlerdi, aceleye gerçekten hiç gerek yoktu, ne arkanızda sizi sıkıştıran ne de tabii, bekleyen birileri bulunurdu, arkadaşlarınız da kaygısız, oynamak için sık sık durarak ilerlerlerdi. Evlerinin kapısından büyükler size dostça selam verir ve suç ortaklığı dolu gülüşlerle ufku gösterirlerdi; böylece yürek yiğitçe ve tatlı arzularla çarpmaya başlar ve insan kendisini az ötede bekleyen harikulade şeylerin umudunu tadar; gerçi o şeyler henüz uzaktadır ama bir gün onlara ulaşılacağı kesin, tartışmasız bir biçimde kesindir. Daha çok yol var mıdır? Yoo, şu ilerideki nehri geçmek, şu yeşil tepeleri aşmak yeterlidir. Belki de varmışızdır bile. Şu ağaçlar, kırlar, şu beyaz ev belki de bizim aradığımız şeylerdir. Bir an, bunun doğru olduğuna inanıp, orada durmak isteriz. Sonra, kulağımıza ileride daha iyisinin olduğu çalınır ve tasasız bir biçimde yeniden yola koyuluruz. İnsan, böylelikle, umut dolu, kendi yolunda gider durur; günler uzun ve sakindir, güneş yukarıda gökyüzünde parlamakta ve akşam bastığında üzülerek yok olmaya yüz tutmaktadır. Ama bir noktada, belki de içgüdüsel olarak, insan geri döner ve arkasında bir kapının kapanarak dönüşü olanaksız kıldığım fark eder. İşte o zaman bir şeylerin değişmiş olduğunun ayırdına varırız, güneş eskisi gibi kıpırtısız değildir, hızla hareket etmektedir; ne yazık ki, henüz bakmaya bile fırsat bulamadan, onun ufkun ucuna doğru hızla kaydığını, bulutların da gökyüzündeki mavi koylarda hareketsiz durmadığını, birbirlerinin üzerine çıkarak kaçtıklarını, iyice acele ettiklerini görürüz; zamanın geçtiğini ve günü gelince yolun zorunlu olarak son bulacağını anlarız. Belirli bir zamanda, arkamızda bir kapı kapanır, kapanır ve bir şimşek hızıyla kilitlenir; geri dönecek zaman kalmamıştır.”
― Dino Buzzati, quote from The Tartar Steppe
“[I'll teach you] how not to leave the windows of your heart open when it looks like rain and how everyone has a stump where something necessary was amputated. ”
― Steve Toltz, quote from A Fraction of the Whole
“You are not trying to find the answer to a question, you are simply trying to confirm something you desperately want to believe; That everyone is evil. ” Chantal”

The Magician's Nephe...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.
