Quotes from The Eternal Ones

“All the most powerful emotions come from chaos -fear,anger,love- especially love. Love is chaos itself. Think about it! Love makes no sense. It shakes you up and spins you around. And then, eventually , it falls apart.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“You know, sometimes when you're too close to someone, it's hard to see who they really are.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Sometimes when we're in love, we take the facts and spin them into pretty stories. But it's a dangerous thing to do--because one day, like it or not, you're going to see the world as it really is. You find out people aren't always who you want them to be. And if you're not ready for the truth...well, let's just say it can come as a bit of a shock.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“I look for you in every life, but I don't always find you. And sometimes I find you too late.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“My faith is big enough to accept all of God's wonders.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Yes, it's funny, isn't it? You try to do what's best for the people you love, and you just end up in trouble for your efforts.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Beau, will you please watch the entrance for us?"
"What should I do if I see anyone suspicious?"
"Kick a car," Iain said.
"Kick a car?"
"To set off the alarm."
"Gotcha," Beau said. "Good thinking.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“But there was still something missing. Something that nagged at her-an emptiness she couldn't explain. There were mornings she woke with her heart pounding wildly and the sensation of arms wrapped around her. But the feeling slipped away the moment she opened her eyes, and no matter how quickly she squeezed them shut, she couldn't recapture the contentment she'd felt.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Because I love you," Iain said simply. "I always have. I love your bad temper. I love your jealous streak. I love your strength and pigheadedness. And I know you love me. And sometimes love makes people go a little crazy. The insanity won't last forever...I hope.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“I can’t run around falling in love with fantasies.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Don't expect me to be perfect. Despite all my lives, I'm still only human. I can't deliver perfection, and I'll only disappoint you. But I want you to know that you are the most important person to me. I'm trying to protect you.

Sometimes I screw things up. I may even tell a white lie every now and then. But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“I've been called many things. But I suppose 'the devil' is as good a name as any.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“El amor y la fe van de la mano. No se puede tener uno sin la otra. Y como todos sabemos, no siempre es seguro dar ese paso. A veces se juzga equivocadamente, y se acaba mordiendo el polvo. Pero a menos que demos ese paso, nunca sabremos qué hay del otro lado. Hay que buscar agallas para hacerlo.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“You see, faith means listening to your heart, not just your heard. It's not about ignoring facts; it's about being willing to see around them sometimes.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“The problems come when it's time to put our faith in things other than the Lord. There's no doubt that other people can be tricky. But once again, it's all about listening to your heart. That don't mean you should ignore what your head's telling you. But your heart will do a much better job of helping you figure out who's good and who ain't. Who deserves your faith, and who doesn't. If you judge solely by evidence, you could wind up making some big mistakes.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Love and faith go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. And as we all know, taking the leap ain't always safe. Sometimes you judge poorly, and you land right on your face. But unless you make the jump, you'll never know what's on the other side. You just gotta find the guts to do it.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“-Creo que debería acompañarlos-replicó Beau-. No estoy seguro de que sea una buena idea aún dejar a Haven sola contigo.
-Es un poco sobreprotector-le explicó Haven a Iain.
-Él siempre ha sido así-comentó Iain-. Yo no esperaría que cambie pronto.
-¿Cómo sabes que siempre he sido así?-preguntó Beau, molesto-. Tenemos media hora de conocernos.
-Tenemos al menos quinientos años de conocernos-lo corrigió Iain-. Tú eras hermano de ella cuando te conocí. En ese entonces también te llevó algo de tiempo aceptarme.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“They may think they understand how God works, but if were were able to understand how God works, we wouldn't need faith, now would we?”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

-Jamás pensé que llegaríamos a este lugar-dijo ella.
-Y yo tuve fe en que lo haríamos.
Él tomó la mano de ella y le plantó un beso.
-¿Todo ha terminado?
-Por ahora-respondió él.”

-¿Qué debo hacer si veo algo sospechoso?

-¿Patear un coche?
-Para activar la alarma.
-¡Oralé!-dijo Beau-. Buena idea.”

—Lo único que sé es que atraemos a las personas que hemos amado antes.
—¿Y tú y yo nos hemos encontrado en cada vida?
—Ojalá fuera así de fácil. Te busco en cada vida, pero no siempre te encuentro. Y a veces te encuentro demasiado tarde.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“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

“One time Bonaventure heard the graphite of a pencil rasp across a piece of paper and leave a slight and quivered mark behind. He listened so hard he heard the graphite's history, when it was still a part of metamorphic rock that didn't know it would one day almost capture what was almost a thought from the mind of an insane man.”
― quote from The Silence of Bonadventure Arrow

“You’re apologizing? Seriously, what happened to you? Have you been taken over by a pod person?”
― Dianne Duvall, quote from Night Reigns

“The home was familiar. But I was a stranger. There was a huge distance between me and this life that I had led. Everything was the same, yes - everything except me. The sameness in the things around me just served to illuminate the strangeness in me.”
― Richard Hammond, quote from On the Edge

“Byron published the first two cantos of his epic poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, a romanticized account of his wanderings through Portugal, Malta, and Greece, and, as he later remarked, “awoke one morning and found myself famous.” Beautiful, seductive, troubled, brooding, and sexually adventurous, he was living the life of a Byronic hero while creating the archetype in his poetry. He became the toast of literary London and was feted at three parties each day, most memorably a lavish morning dance hosted by Lady Caroline Lamb. Lady Caroline, though married to a politically powerful aristocrat who was later prime minister, fell madly in love with Byron. He thought she was “too thin,” yet she had an unconventional sexual ambiguity (she liked to dress as a page boy) that he found enticing. They had a turbulent affair, and after it ended she stalked him obsessively. She famously declared him to be “mad, bad, and dangerous to know,” which he was. So was she.”
― Walter Isaacson, quote from The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution

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.
