Quotes from Slawter

“But stories don't end. They continue as long as you're alive. You just have to get on with things. Turn the page, start a new chapter, find out what's in store for you next, and keep your fingers crossed that it's not too awful. Even if you know in your heart and soul that it most probably will be.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“I'm starting to understand that fear is like cancer - you can beat it back, but if it returns, it can be worse than ever.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“I'd like to do something to help the worst afflicted, but I can't. It's not possible to save everybody. Even heroes have their all-too-human limits.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“Never trust fairy tales. Any story that ends with ‘They all lived happily ever after’ is a crock. There are no happy endings. No endings, full stop. Life goes on. There’s always something new around the corner. You can overcome major obstacles, face great danger, look evil in the eye, and live to tell the tale–but that’s not the end. Life sweeps you forward, swings you around, bruises and batters you, drops some new drama or tragedy in your lap, never lets go until you get to the one true end–death. As long as you’re breathing, your story’s still going.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

It’s not an option.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“a greyish substance that might be blood. Remembering the spray I caught earlier, I wipe a hand across my face and it comes away wet and sticky with the same grey liquid. “I’d kill for a shower,” I mutter, chuckling darkly at the sick joke. Juni cuts a long, jagged line through the creature’s flesh,”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“Bill-E his knife. He grimaces and tries to wipe the muck off on his”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“pants. Juni looks at me and grins shakily. “I wanted to be a vet”
― Darren Shan, quote from Slawter

“Most of us spend most of our time in other peoples’ worlds — working at predetermined jobs, relaxing to pre-packaged entertainment — and no matter how benign this ready-made world may be, there will always be times when something is missing or doesn’t quite ring true.”
― quote from Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking

“Get Well Soon. People sent me get well soon cards while I was in a mental hospital. There were fluffy little bunnies, floaty rainbows, and even a religious card. I could understand that Hallmark probably doesn’t make “Get Sane Soon” cards, but still. Was I not well before? Am I well now? Who decides?”
― Julie Halpern, quote from Get Well Soon

“good lawyers know the law and that great lawyers know the judge?”

“Драги Тео,

Струва ми се, че работата в един кабинет с Гоген е грешка. Той е обременен човек. Много пие.Направих му забележка за това, а той се разбесня и смъкна от стената зъболекарската ми диплома. Когато се успокои, го убедих да се опита да пломбира зъби на открито и започнахме да работим на една поляна, заобиколени отвсякъде от зелени и златисти тонове. Той поставя коронки на госпожица Анджела Тонейто, а аз правя временна пломба на господин Луи Кофман. И така, работим на открито! Редици ослепително бели зъби на слънчевата светлина! След това излезе вятър и отнесе перуката на господин Кофман в храстите. Той се спусна след нея и събори инструментите на Гоген. Гоген изкара мен виновен за това и посегна да ме удари, но блъсна по погрешка господин Кофман, който падна върху бързооборотната бормашина. Господин Кофман избръмча край мен и отмъкна госпожица Тонейто със себе си. Крайният резултат, Тео, е, че адвокатската фирма "Рифтин, Рифтин, Рифтин и Мелцер" наложиха запор върху приходите ми. Изпрати каквото можеш.

Драги Тео,

Тулуз- Лотрек е най- тъжният човек на земята. Най- много от всичко мечтае да стане велик зъболекар, притежава истински талант, но е много нисък и не може да достигне устите на пациентите си, пък е твърде горд, за да се покачи на нещо. С ръце над главата си той пипа слепешком около устата им, а вчера, вместо да постави коронки на зъбите на госпожа Фирилсън, ги постави на брадата и. Междувременно старият ми приятел Моне отказва да работи с каква да е уста, освен ако не е много голяма, а винаги мрачният Сера разработи метод за почистване на зъбите един по един, докато ги оформи в така наречената от него свежа уста. Методът му е солиден в архитектурно отношение, но може ли да се нарече това зъболекарска работа?

Винсент”
― Woody Allen, quote from Without Feathers

“Gary nips my finger and starts clawing his way up my shoulder, hissing like an angry kettle. It's just not natural for something so cute and fluffy to be so nasty.

I look at Nick in distress. "Why is he spitting at me?"
"Maybe he thinks he's a llama.”
― Holly Smale, quote from Geek Girl

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.
