― Garrett Leigh, quote from Slide

― Garrett Leigh, quote from Slide

“Oh, go to hell." But there wasn't any heat in the response.
"You're not supposed to smile when you say that.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Carolina Moon
“Sabes qual é o erro que cometemos sempre? Acreditar que a vida é imutável, que, mal escolhemos um carril, temos de o seguir até ao fim. Contudo, o destino tem muito mais imaginação do que nós... Precisamente quando se pensa que se está num beco sem saída, quando se atinge o cúmulo do desespero, com a velocidade de uma rajada de vento tudo muda, tudo se transforma, e de um momento para o outro damos por nós a viver uma nova vida.
[…]
Se, esteja onde estiver, arranjar maneira de te ver, só ficarei triste, como fico triste sempre que vejo uma vida desperdiçada, uma vida em que o caminho do amor não conseguiu cumprir-se. Tem cuidado contigo. Sempre que à medida que fores crescendo, tiveres vontade de converter as coisas erradas em certas, lembra-te que a primeira revolução a fazer é dentro de nós próprios, a primeira e a mais importante. Lutar por uma ideia sem se ter uma ideia de si próprio é uma das coisas mais perigosas que se pode fazer.
Quando te sentires perdida, confusa, pensa nas árvores, lembra-te da forma como crescem. Lembra-te que uma árvore com muita ramagem e poucas raízes é derrubada à primeira rajada de vento, e que a linfa custa a correr numa árvore com muitas raízes e pouca ramagem. As raízes e os ramos devem crescer de igual modo, deves estar nas coisas e estar sobre as coisas, só assim poderás dar sombra e abrigo, só assim, na estação apropriada, poderás cobrir-te de flores e de frutos.
E quando à tua frente se abrirem muitas estradas e não souberes a que hás-de escolher, não metas por uma ao acaso, senta-te e espera. Respira com a mesma profundidade confiante com que respiraste no dia em que vieste ao mundo, e sem deixares que nada te distraia, espera e volta a esperar. Fica quieta, em silêncio, e ouve o teu coração. Quando ele te falar, levanta-te, e vai onde ele te levar.”
― Susanna Tamaro, quote from Follow Your Heart
“Is it better to outmonster the monsters or to be quietly devoured?”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, quote from Bullet
“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. MARGARET YOUNG”
― Julia Cameron, quote from The Artist's Way
“Well, I’ve only managed to do the drummer and the bassist so far, but I’m thinking I could get a threesome going and knock out the others. Maybe I’ll gangbang with the roadies when we stop for dinner!”

Scenes of Clerical L...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.
