“Lucas heard a strange sound, something he hadn’t heard in months. At first it didn’t seem real, it was something distant from the past. It was the first time in nearly a year he had heard himself laugh, and it momentarily stunned him”
― quote from The Edelweiss Express
“His faith was like the radar of a bat, it took him through the darkness that surrounded him. It would guide him through everything that evil would throw at him. When his body gave up, God’s powers lifted him up and kept his heart thumping.”
― quote from The Edelweiss Express
“Was there no one to help? He instinctively bowed his head and prayed. A warm feeling engulfed his battered body. “I’m not alone, I will never be alone. God is with me”
― quote from The Edelweiss Express
“Maybe I should drown myself before I freeze to death?”
― quote from The Edelweiss Express
“Well! I had the most fantastic dream! Trees crying blood. Horrible dead elves going around and killing people! Raistlin wearing black robes! It was the most incredible thing! And you were there, Sturm. Laurana and Flint. And everyone died! Well, almost everyone. Raistlin didn't. And there was a green dragon-'
Tasslehoff stopped. What was wrong with his friends? Their faces were pale, their eyes wide.”
― Margaret Weis, quote from Dragons of Autumn Twilight
“Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?”
― T.S. Eliot, quote from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
“Some of us have hearts, you know. Some of us don't give up on true love.”
― Sophie Kinsella, quote from Twenties Girl
“Ed, "I hate deserts. There is nothing but sand *collapses* If there was some grass I could turn it into bread. I'm starving! Huh? Hey! Al' where'd you go? Al? Hey!"
Al, "Down here! *Al's hand emerges from the sand beneath Ed and grabs Ed's leg*"
Ed, "AHH!!"
Al, "I sunk again. . ."
(cut to later, after Ed dug Al out)
Al, "I get full."
Ed, "Full of what? *kicks Al and sand falls out of his chest plate and buries Ed*"
Al, "Hahahaha. . .hahaha. . .haha. . . ha. . . *still laughing, inches away from Ed*"
Ed, "*bursts out of sand and starts running after Al* Get back here!"
Al, "What are you going to do?"
Ed, "Nothing!"
Al, "Than why are you chasing me?"
Ed, "Stop and you'll find out!"
Al, "I promise I won't get buried again!"
Ed, "Not unless it's by me!"
Al," Ed!"
Ed, "Rrrrrrrrr!”

“It all begins and ends in the same place, doesn't it? Conor and me in Ballyutogue. We all come home eventually.”

Nothing Gold Can Sta...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.
