“I order you not to die,” Tsunami said, grabbing his shoulder. “Clay, stop, STOP IT. Stop dying RIGHT NOW.” Her normally bossy voice was full of panic.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Sunny, by all the moons, quit feeling sorry for dragons who want to abduct you and sell you off.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Something is coming to shake the earth. Something is coming to scorch the ground. Jade Mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice, unless the lost city of night can be found.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Thorn gripped her claws tighter. “Sunny. You’re my daughter.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Glory had her tail curled around her talons and was holding her wings in close as wave after wave of odd colors spread through her scales. Deathbringer put one wing around her, gently, and she let him.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“As each of them voted for her, Sunny felt as though her own scales might turn pink.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“scavengers who attacked dragons for their treasure, waving sharp little toothpick claw things called swords.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“I’m sorry, Starflight,” she’d said, and he’d known right away what she was talking about. “I know,” he’d answered, turning his head away from her. “I just — I love you. But —” “Like a brother.” She’d hesitated, then said instead, “Not like Fatespeaker loves you.” He’d folded his wings over his face and coughed, embarrassed. “It’s all right if you love her, too,” Sunny said. “You should. She’s … she cares about you. And she’s hilarious.” He”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“It was a little unsettling how quiet the skies were. Clay”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“two legs, no wings, and holding something pointy over its head.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“He was like the not-funny, not-adorable opposite of Clay, constantly hungry but in a pushy way instead of a sweetly embarrassed way.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Several RainWings stood by the water, in shades of blue and purple, holding NightWing spears.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Clay would be just as happy if nobody ever noticed how wonderful he is. Then he could sleep and eat and take care of us instead of fighting. Starflight”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Tsunami was drilling RainWings in evasive maneuvers, although apparently what that actually meant was a lot of yelling things like “Pay attention!” and “Leave that toucan alone!” and “Why are you pink? Stop being pink!” and “THREE MOONS, ARE YOU EATING AGAIN?”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“I BEG YOUR PARDON,” Tsunami objected. “I can be VERY DIPLOMATIC when I WANT to be.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“I AM GOING TO BITE THAT DRAGON’S HEAD OFF AND STUFF HIM IN A VOLCANO,” Glory roared. “Too late,” Tsunami said. “Since that’s kind of already happened. The volcano part, I mean. He’s a pile of ashes now.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“Hey, I’m mad, too,” Tsunami said. “But —” “LET’S GO BACK AND KILL HIM AGAIN.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from The Brightest Night
“This is awesome," Tsunami said. "I'm so excited." "Going to see my very favorite dragon in all of Pyrrhia."
"Are you being Glory now?" Sunny asked. "Queen of Sarcasm?"
"I can be sarcastic, too! "She doesn't get to be queen of everything," Tsunami grumbled.”

“conditions "good or bad" are same, only the people in them are different.”
― quote from We Were Three
“This is how you foil the works of evil, growing in grace through the very adversity that was meant to harm you. Joseph was a prime example of this divine reversal, declaring to his brothers: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.”
― quote from Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence
“When I remember that dizzy summer, that dull, stupid, lovely, dire summer, it seems that in those days I ate my lunches, smelled another's skin, noticed a shade of yellow, even simply sat, with greater lust and hopefulness--and that I lusted with greater faith, hoped with greater abandon. The people I loved were celebrities, surrounded by rumor and fanfare; the places I sat with them, movie lots and monuments. No doubt all of this is not true remembrance but the ruinous work of nostalgia, which obliterates the past, and no doubt, as usual, I have exaggerated everything.”
― Michael Chabon, quote from The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
“What do you mean, 'boundaries?' You came out of my vagina. What kind of boundaries do we have?”

“And whose heart do you want me to steal?” The words escape me in a whisper.

Fatal ShadowsBookQuoters 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.
