“There's like a billion stars and planets, you'd think there'd be life on one of them. I mean why else would God go to all that trouble?
Maybe to show us how special we are?
Yet, when I look at them I feel totally insignificant. That's the genius, no?”
― N.G. Osborne, quote from Refuge

“Montei, fui trotando travado. Diadorim e o Caçanje iam já mais longe, regulado umas duzentas braças. Arte que perceberam que eu vinha, se viraram nas selas. Diadorim levantou o braço, bateu mão. Eu ia estugar, esporeei, queria um meio-galope, para logo alcançar os dois. Mas, aí, meu cavalo f’losofou: refugou baixo e refugou alto, se puxando para a beira da mão esquerda da estrada, por pouco não deu comigo no chão. E o que era, que estava assombrando o animal, era uma folha seca esvoaçada, que sobre se viu quase nos olhos e nas orêlhas dele. Do vento. Do vento que vinha, rodopiado. Redemoinho: o senhor sabe — a briga de ventos. O quando um esbarra com outro, e se enrolam, o dôido espetáculo. A poeira subia, a dar que dava escuro, no alto, o ponto às voltas, folharada, e ramarêdo quebrado, no estalar de pios assovios, se torcendo turvo, esgarabulhando. Senti meu cavalo como meu corpo. Aquilo passou, embora, o ró-ró. A gente dava graças a Deus. Mas Diadorim e o Caçanje se estavam lá adiante, por me esperar chegar. — “Redemunho!” — o Caçanje falou, esconjurando. — “Vento que enviesa, que vinga da banda do mar...” — Diadorim disse. Mas o Caçanje não entendia que fosse: redemunho era d’Ele — do diabo. O demônio se vertia ali, dentro viajava. Estive dando risada. O demo! Digo ao senhor. Na hora, não ri? Pensei. O que pensei: o diabo, na rua, no meio do redemunho... Acho o mais terrível da minha vida, ditado nessas palavras, que o senhor nunca deve de renovar. Mas, me escute. A gente vamos chegar lá. E até o Caçanje e Diadorim se riram também. Aí, tocamos.”
― João Guimarães Rosa, quote from Grande Sertão: Veredas
“Alex felt the bullets pass over his shoulder and heard a scream as one of the other guards was hit. Well, that made one less anyway!”
― Anthony Horowitz, quote from Scorpia
“Vincent doesn't like seeing Maura upset, and well, it's hard for her not to be upset when I'm around." "Can't say I'm surprised," Vito said. "She's Vincent's weakness. If he doesn't learn to control that, he'll get her killed." "Antonio says it's the other way around." "I don't often disagree with the Boss, but nah... her blood will be on Vincent's hands someday.”
― J.M. Darhower, quote from Made

“Thomas reached out and took my hand, turned it palm up, and said, "I believe that's healing very nicely." Aunt Charlotte opened the door just as he turned my hand over again and brushed a kiss across my knuckles. I experienced a nearly overpowering desire to hit him in the eye.”

Star CursedBookQuoters 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.
