“Sanctum, a holy or sacred place. What could be more sacred than possessing the power of your own true thoughts? Sanctum. It is both lock and key.”
― Madeleine Roux, quote from Sanctum

“paths. Curiosities lurked around every corner. A man belched flames from a podium. The scent of fried cakes and popcorn hung sweet and heavy on the air, tantalizing until it became sickening. And”

“But the outsider in May, the one from Briery Swamp who had never fit quite right, kept her tucked safely in her nook.”

“جهان عشق است و دیگر زرق سازی
همه بازی ست الا عشق بازی
فلک جز عشق محرابی ندارد
جهان بی خاک عشق آبی ندارد
غلام عشق شو اندیشه این است
همه صاحبدلان را پیشه این است
دلی کز عشق خالی شد فسرده ست
گرش صد جان بُوَد بی عشق مرده ست
مبین در عقل کان سلطان جان است
قدم در عشق نه کان جان ِ جان است
ز سوز عشق خوش تر در جهان نیست
که بی او گل نخندید، ابر نگریست
طبایع جز کشش کاری ندارند
حکیمان این کشش را عشق خوانند
گر اندیشه کنی از راه بینش
به عشق است ایستاده آفرینش
چو من بی عشق خود را جان ندیدم
دلی بفروختم، جانی خریدم
کمر بستم به عشق این داستان را
صلای عشق در دادم جهان را”
― Nizami Ganjavi, quote from Layla and Majnun

“Perhaps he'd been using Just for Gods hair cream.”
― Kevin Hearne, quote from Hunted
“But stories are fragile. Like people's lives. It only takes a word out of place to change them forever. If you hear a lovely tune, and then you change it, the new tune might be lovely too, but you've lost the first one." "But if I stick to the first tune, then I've lost the second." "But someone else might discover it. It's still there to be born." "And the first tune isn't?" "No," Tallis insisted, although she was confused now. "It has already come into your mind. It's lost forever." "Nothing is lost forever," Mr. Williams said quietly. "Everything I've known I still know, only sometimes I don't know that I know it." All things are known, but most things are forgotten. It takes a special magic to remember them. "My grandfather said something like that to me," Tallis whispered. "Well there you are. Wise Old Men, one and all…”

ArclightBookQuoters 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.
