― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home

“An obedient man is free when in prison,” Quan said. “A disobedient man is imprisoned when free.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home


“And do you think your refusal to believe will convince God to change his nature? He is who he is no matter what you think of him. Despite what Americans believe, the universe is not a democracy. Truth is not determined by the majority. As for hell, if you were as just and holy as God is, you would understand that all men deserve hell. It is no puzzle that men should go to hell. What is a puzzle is that men should go to heaven.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home



“Dr. Martin Luther King said, ‘If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare composed poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, “Here lived a great street sweeper, who did his job well.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home


“My father, Li Tong, used to say, ‘Church leader who does not believe in God is like barefoot shoe salesman.’ We call our bureau leader the Caiaphas of China.” “What does that mean?” “You remember Caiaphas from the Bible?” “No.” “Did someone take your Bible from you?” “No. It’s on my shelf. Remember? I’ve got three of them.” “Perhaps Ben Fielding should give two away and then start reading the other one.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home


“Old Zhou Jin began singing a hymn Quan had heard and reluctantly sung many times since childhood: “One day I’ll die for the Lord.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home


“If you are looking for a religion centered around yourself, Ben, I must agree that Christianity is a poor choice.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home


“Never believe a man who says God no longer does miracles, Ben. But never believe a man who says God must do a miracle the way a man wants him to. God is God.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home



“But doesn’t Shengjing promise to wipe away all tears?” “That promise is for after he defeats sin and ends suffering and sets up his Kingdom. That time has not yet come.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home

― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home

“Riley paused, turning back to face Jack. "Just so you know, we are gonna need some definite PDAs tonight.

Think you can handle that?" There was irritation in Riley's voice, a subtle change, a certain stress. Jack imagined it was a manifestation of fear, and it made him feel better to think that. In answer Jack moved carefully past Riley, sliding a hand over the younger man's black silk shirt, his fingers brushing Riley's left nipple. He heard a hiss of indrawn breath as his hard thigh touched Riley briefly.

"I can handle anything you need, Het-boy," he said, his voice low and growled. "Just follow my cues."

Riley followed him to the top of the stairs, and Jack held out his hand. "Husband?" he smirked.

Riley took his hand, and they started down the sweeping staircase. "Fuck you, asshole," Riley forced out behind a covering smile.

"Not if I fuck you first," Jack said, fast and clear, smirking again as Riley stumbled on the next step.”
― R.J. Scott, quote from The Heart of Texas


“I'd come to think of sex as this long dark tunnel that turns friends into strangers, strangers into friends.”
― Tom Perrotta, quote from Election


“After a moment I pushed my chair back and went over to the french windows. I opened the screens and stepped out on to the porch. The night was all around, soft and quiet. The white moonlight was cold and clear, like the justice we dream of but don't find.”
― Raymond Chandler, quote from The High Window


“I decided it was well past time to take him home and place him in bosom of his family. If you had rather I put him in an orphanage, I fully understand.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Midnight Heir


“أنت كنت بداخل الرجل . حفظك إلوكيم في أحد أضلعه ؛ لا في رأسه ، حتى لا تكتشفي تكبره ، ولا في قلبه ، كيلا تشعري برغبة التملك”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve

About BookQuoters

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.
