“A medicine cat has no time for doubt. Put your energy into today and stop worrying about the past.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Thank you for bringing me to ThunderClan. Tell Bluestar I have always been grateful for the home she gave me. This is a good place to die. I only regret that I will miss watching you become what StarClan has destined you to be.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“He knew Sandstorm liked and respected him, far more than he would ever have expected when he first joined the Clan, but it had never occurred to him that she felt anything stronger than friendship for him. Suddenly he pictured the soft sparkle in her pale green eyes when she had licked his stinging paws, and his fur began to prickle with a sensation he had not felt before.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“And with a cold shiver of dread, Fireheart realized that the new leader of ShadowClan was Tigerclaw.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Fireheart,” the voice murmured again. “Beware an enemy who seems to sleep.” “What do you mean?” asked Fireheart, his chest tightening. “What enemy?” “Beware!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“He knew he had been unfair, but they had asked a question he wasn’t ready to answer, a question so frightening that he couldn’t begin to think what it might mean. What if Bluestar never recovered?”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“After Goldenflower had padded away, Fireheart stepped forward and leaned down to lick Runningwind’s dull pelt. “I will avenge your death,” he promised softly. As he backed away, he saw a figure step forward from”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Ravenpaw dipped his head. “Even if we aren’t Clanmates anymore, you will always have my friendship and loyalty.” Fireheart blinked away the emotion that clouded his eyes.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Fireheart had been so eager to prove to the Clan that kittypets were as good as forestborn cats, he hadn’t even considered that Cloudpaw might prefer life with the Twolegs. Fireheart loved his life in the forest, but he had chosen it for himself. Only now did it occur to him that Cloudpaw had been given to the Clan by his mother, passed along as a kit before he was old enough to make his own decision.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Whitestorm went on. “Tigerclaw’s treachery has shaken the whole Clan.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Green eyes met green eyes for a long moment; then Fireheart turned and crept warily through the trees. He”

“As they climbed onto the bank at the other side, the two cats could only stare in horror at the remains of their beloved woodland. “Seeing this place from across the river was the only comfort I had,” murmured Graystripe.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“He padded across the clearing to join her. As he laid his pigeon beside her and started to eat, he heard her”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Rising Storm
“Charlotte said she could get on with any one who had a bump at the top of their heads (meaning conscientiousness). I found that I seldom differed from her, except that she was far too tolerant of stupid people, if they had a grain of kindness in them.”
― Elizabeth Gaskell, quote from The Life of Charlotte Brontë
“You've been my teachers, clergy, my fellow students, coworkers, bosses, principals, sometimes you were a former friend or even family I once trusted. You've taken things I told you in utter confidence, & twisted them into lies to be used against me. Without cause, you have told lies against me. You have refused to see me as a human being. You have kicked me when I was up & you have kicked me when I was down. But today, you will kick me no more, I will no longer be your verbal or physical punching bag, Today, I discovered the secret that will never allow you or friends, who will one day turn on you too, to hurt me again. Today as I lay broken & bleeding in that dark place I crawl into when I think I can't take it anymore, I found something extraordinary. My humanity. As my soul screamed in bleeding agony & I wanted to die rather than live one more day in a world where you exist, I realized that my tears & ability to feel pain without lashing out to return that hurt to someone else makes me human.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Inferno
“And now, when Mother called to wake me up for the New Year, I first wanted to pray, but it turned into thanks, darling, for all that God had given us this year. For his wonderful ways with us, even if we don't understand it all now. For his love, that in all our disappointments and sorrow he himself helps us to bear it all, so that all this turns into a blessing because we feel his nearness and can take up our cross joyfully. And so we may know, and we do experience, that his power is made perfect in our weakness.”
― quote from Things We Couldn't Say
“Myrnin to Claire: "If anyone comes to bite you while I'm gone - well, try not to attract attention. Die quietly.”
― Rachel Caine, quote from Daylighters
“Ethan chuckled. “It hasn’t escaped my attention, Sentinel, that you cringe every time I mention our future.” “I don’t cringe. I only cringe when you pretend-propose.” He had a penchant for going down on bended knee—and straightening a hem or helping me with a shoe. “Nobody finds that amusing.” “I find it excessively amusing. You do realize, don’t you, that the proposal won’t always be fake?”
― Chloe Neill, quote from Blood Games
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.
