― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“There will be three, kin of your kin..." Jayfeather's voice shook as he wondered if he could possibly be right. "Cloudtail is Firestar's kin, Whitewing is Cloudtail's daughter, and now Dovekit and Ivykit...Don't you see? The prophecy isn't over! We aren't the only kin of Firestar's kin. It doesn't matter which of Whitewing's kits is the one. There are still three of us!

[Jayfeather]”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“..in the harshest days of leaf-bare clanmate turns upon clanmate danger lurks behind familiar faces and one more warrior may be lost forever”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“While Brambleclaw paused to taste the air, she crouched down beside one of the puddles and touched the ice with her tongue, grateful for the tingling freshness. “Come on,” the Clan deputy meowed. “This way.” Hollyleaf tried to jump up, only to stop with a strangled cry of dismay. Her tongue had frozen to the ice; a sharp pain shot through it as she tried to wrench herself free. “What’s the matter?” Lionblaze asked. “My tongue . . .” Hollyleaf could hardly get the words out. “It’th thtuck!” Lionblaze snorted as he suppressed a mrrow of laughter. Birchfall stooped down until he was nose to nose with Hollyleaf; irritation swelled inside her when she saw amusement dancing in his eyes. “It’th not funny!” she mumbled as clearly as she could with her tongue plastered to the ice. “Stand back.” Brackenfur’s calm voice came from behind Hollyleaf. “Let me have a look.” He leaned beside Birchfall, gently shouldering the younger cat out of the way. “Well, you’re certainly stuck,” he went on. Hollyleaf could tell that he was struggling not to laugh, too. “I suppose we could break off the ice. Then you’d have to carry it until it melts.” “Hey, you’ve discovered a new way to fetch water for the elders!” Hazeltail put in. Her pelt itching with frustration, Hollyleaf tried again to wrench her tongue free, only getting another stab of pain for her efforts. “It hurt-th! Do thomething!” She pictured herself crouched on the hard ground with her tongue stretched out, and suddenly she felt laughter bubbling up inside her. I guess I do look pretty funny. She couldn’t remember the last time she had found anything to laugh at.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“— Погоди, я тебе покажу! Стану такой ворчли­вой и капризной старейшиной, что по сравнению со мной Кисточка покажется ласковой короле­вой!
— Ну да, и ежи полетят, — пробасил Круто­бок.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“— Небесные коты! — снова фыркнул Пурди. — Да скорее ежи полетят, чем я поверю в эти сказоч­ки.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“Холодная радость зажглась в глубине янтарных глаз Сола.
— Думаете, племя Теней смо­жет оправдаться? Эти тупые коты способны только верить в детские сказочки о мертвых котиках, ко­торые решат все их проблемы и придут на помощь в трудную пору! Они до сих пор верят в дурацкие знаки, идиоты!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“— Это не трудно! — крикнула Джинго, свесив голову вниз и призывно помахивая хвостом.
— Ага, как же! — пробурчал Березовик. — Так же нетрудно, как ежу взлететь орлом!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“— Надеюсь, Листвичка довольна собой, — про­ворчал он, укладываясь на свою подстилку. — Зав­тра я не смогу пошевелить лапой, и проку от меня будет, как от больного ежа!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“Джинго кивнула, а когда остальные патрульные тепло попрощались с ней, она повернулась и побежала вдоль стены в обратную сторону.
— До свидания, Джингозвездая, — прошептал Ежевика так тихо, что удаляющаяся кошка вряд ли могла его услышать. — Пусть Звездное племя освещает твой путь.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“— Если бы Уголек повздорил с кем-нибудь из Грозовых котов, мы бы непременно об этом узнали! — горячо закивал Бурый. — Такое нельзя скрыть от племени! У нас же каждый на виду!
«Ага, как же! И еще у нас над оврагом ежи лета­ют!»”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“— Все может быть, — пробурчал Ягодник.
— Ну конечно! Порой и ежи летают, — усмех­нулся Дым.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“Everything added up. Which cat could depend on Squirrelflight’s loyalty, knowing she would carry out the deception for moons and moons, even if it meant lying to her own mate? Which cat had always poured out love and concern around him and his littermates? Which cat could never admit that she had borne kits? Leafpool! Leafpool is our mother!”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“What happens if he kills me here? Will I be really dead?”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“Maybe it’s best that he stayed behind, she thought. It’s not like he can look for Sol himself.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“In the Twoleg nests around them, lights began to appear in the dark holes in the walls. Lionblaze heard a Twoleg shouting angrily, but the dogs went on barking and pounding at the fence. His belly lurched when he saw that the small brown-and-white dog had stuck its head through the gap and the wood around it was starting to splinter. The dark tabby she-cat darted forward and slashed her claws at the dog’s nose. Yelping, it pulled back.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

“Cats who didn’t want to attack WindClan, Lionblaze realized. Firestar isn’t taking any risks.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Sunrise

About the author

Popular quotes

“Should churches exert any influence in politics? Should pastors preach about political questions? Is there only one “Christian” position on political issues? Does the Bible teach anything about how people should vote? I think there are some clear answers to these questions, but we have to recognize at the outset that dozens of other books and articles have already given their own answers to such questions. These books range from saying that the Bible gives outright support for many liberal Democratic positions to saying that the Bible supports conservative Republican positions.1 Some books argue that Christians have simply become far too entangled in political activities, while another important book argues that Christians have a biblical mandate to be involved in politics.2 Another widely influential book gives many real-life examples of remarkable Christian influence on laws and governments.3 One book that has received wide consideration in the United Kingdom proposes a rethinking of major political questions in light of the Bible’s priority of personal relationships.4 There have been a few recent books by theologians and biblical scholars dealing at a more theoretical level with the question of Christian perspectives on politics.5 In this book I start out by explaining what seem to me to be five clearly wrong (and harmful) views about Christians and politics: (1) “government should compel religion,” (2) “government should exclude religion,” (3) “all government is evil and demonic,” (4) “the church should do evangelism, not politics,” and (5) “the church should do politics, not evangelism.” As an alternative, I argue for what I think to be the correct view: (6) “significant Christian influence on government.”
― Wayne A. Grudem, quote from Politics - According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture

“But before either of us can speak again, I feel crackle-crackle-crackle. I can't tell what's going to happen next. My seizure begins to spin slowly through me. What will my dad do? Whatever it is, in another moment I'll be flying free. Either way, whatever he does, I'll be soaring.”
― Terry Trueman, quote from Stuck in Neutral

“With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.”
― Max Ehrmann, quote from Desiderata: Words For Life

“Trains in these parts went from East to West, and from West to East . . .
On either side of the railway lines lay the great wide spaces of the desert - Sary-Ozeki, the Middle lands of the yellow steppes.
In these parts any distance was measured in relation to the railway, as if from the Greenwich meridian . . .
And the trains went from East to West, and from West to East . . .”
― Chingiz Aitmatov, quote from The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years

“I was afraid that if I did anything at all without bartering for at least some small thing in return, he might think I enjoyed it, and not understand that I paid a huge price to myself.”
― Margaux Fragoso, quote from Tiger, Tiger: A Memoir
