“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.”

“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.”

“Miss Morstan and I stood together, and her hand was in mine. A wondrous subtle thing is love, for here were we two, who had never seen each other until that day, between whom no word or even look of affection had ever passed, and yet now in an hour of trouble our hands instinctively sought for each other. I have marveled at it since, but at the time it seemed the most natural thing that I would go out to her so, and, as she has often told me, there was in her also the instinct to turn to me for comfort and protection. So we stood hand in hand like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, quote from Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume I
“He must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable.”
― Joseph Campbell, quote from The Hero With a Thousand Faces
“You have no idea how hard this is for me, but...maybe, this isn't the right time. Not now, in a vampire tower...with them all around." He opened his eyes, giving me a pleading look. "Do you understand...what I'm trying to say?"
I smiled. "You're turning red, did you know that?"
"Allie!" Zeke blew out his breath in a huff. I laughed, released him and stepped back.”
― Julie Kagawa, quote from The Eternity Cure
“It took teams of LEP warlocks to slow down time for a few hours; the magic required to open a door to the tunnel was stupendous. It would be easier to shoot down the moon.
Opal tapped this into her notepad.
Reminder. Shoot down the moon? Viable?”
― Eoin Colfer, quote from The Time Paradox
“«¿Y mientras tanto?», preguntó el marqués.
«Mientras tanto», dijo Abrenuncio, «tóquenle música, llenen la casa de flores, hagan cantar los pájaros, llévenla a ver los atardeceres en el mar, denle todo lo que pueda hacerla feliz». Se despidió con un voleo del sombrero en el aire y la sentencia latina de rigor. Pero esta vez la tradujo en honor del marqués: «No hay medicina que cure lo que no cura la felicidad»”

HollywoodBookQuoters 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.
