― Drew Karpyshyn, quote from Revan
“HERE THE DARKNESS REIGNS ETERNAL. There is no sun, no dawn; just the perpetual gloom of night. The only illumination comes from jagged forks of lightning, carving a wicked path through angry clouds. In their savage wake thunder shreds the sky, unleashing a torrent of hard, cold rain. The storm is coming, and there is no escape.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, quote from Revan
“He is human—they are a lesser species. Over the decades, the dark side has exacted too great a toll on his body. He is a hollow shell of what he once was.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, quote from Revan

― Drew Karpyshyn, quote from Revan
“The vile beverage packed plenty of kick; he hadn’t had a hangover this bad since his wedding night. His head was spinning, his eyes were blurred, and his mouth tasted like he’d been chewing on bantha fur.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, quote from Revan

“Lindy produced the tiny chest and started prying at it with her fingers. “It’s stuck, but the lid has some wiggle to it. Wait, here we go.” She lifted the small lid, and simultaneously the top of the chest folded open as well. And then the chest kept unfolding in astonishing ways, as if lid after lid were opening in unpredictable directions. With a startled squeal, Lindy dropped the miniature chest as it transformed as well, mimicking the larger version.”
― Brandon Mull, quote from Arcade Catastrophe
“Families who live in public housing on the South Side of Chicago are not poor because Bill Gates lives in a big house.”

“There is more information in one thimble of reality
than can be understood by a galaxy of human brains. It is
beyond the human brain to understand the world and its
environment, so the brain compensates by creating simplified
illusions that act as a replacement for understanding.”
― Scott Adams, quote from God's Debris: A Thought Experiment
“War is society's dirty work, usually done by kids cleaning up failures perpetrated by adults.”
― Karl Marlantes, quote from What It is Like to Go to War
“إن فى أصحاب النفوس الحساسة، المرهفة، الرقيقة، نوعاً من العناد فى بعض الأحيان، فترى أحدهم يأبى أن يعبّر للشخص الذى يحبه عن حبه، لا بين الناس فحسب، بل وفى الخلوة أكثر مما بين الناس، ويندر أن تفلت منه ملاطفة، ولكنها إن أفلتت كانت عنيفة قوية عارمة، على قدر انحباسها مدة طويلة من الزمان.”

AustenlandBookQuoters 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.
