“We are all of us both light and dark, do you not find it so, Miss Tremayne? Wanting in our hearts to do right and able to do wrong. And so it’s the choices we’ve made, surely, that make of us what we are.”
― Penelope Williamson, quote from The Passions of Emma


“Heroes are heroes precisely because they are willing to do what everyone else won’t—oppose the popular voice.”
― Richard Paul Evans, quote from Hunt for Jade Dragon


“Who is responsible for the incredible mess the present-day generation of
Americans find themselves in? In this book, I hope to show exactly how this
happened. A series of deadly, inexplicable decisions by our elected leaders
and corporate executives have paved the way to the crisis we must deal with
now. Corruption has grown entrenched, like an inoperable disease, in nearly
every organ of the establishment. We must heed the words of one of America’s
greatest statesmen, Thomas Jefferson: “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed
to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a
distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of
ministers [administrations], too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan
of reducing us to slavery.” The American people have been dealing with just
such a “series of oppressions” now for well over a century, and there can
be little doubt that it is the result of a “deliberate systematic plan.” The best
word to describe it is conspiracy.”
― Donald Jeffries, quote from Hidden History: An Exposé of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics


“Life isn’t a linear journey. Sometimes it’s one step backwards, two steps forward and then a jump out to the side. It’s kind of like the “Time Warp”, when you think about it.
Life follows many directions and hopefully, eventually, your mind and body and life and love, all catch up with each other.”
― Karina Halle, quote from The Pact


“La gente aparece en nuestras vidas en momentos determinados por diversos motivos que tienen que ver con las lecciones que hay que aprender. No”
― Brian L. Weiss, quote from Same Soul, Many Bodies: Discover the Healing Power of Future Lives through Progression Therapy

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.
