“He had an extraordinarily casual air about him. I'd noticed that before, when he had tossed himself out the window.”
― Rinsai Rossetti, quote from The Girl with Borrowed Wings
“I frowned. Evidently, Sangris wasn't a cat who could shape-shift. It was more difficult than that. He was a nothing who occasionally pretended to be a cat. "I wish I could know what it's like for myself, that's all," I said. I felt rather the way a jail inmate would if a bird flew up and shouted through her window bars: This freedom thing? Yeah, not so great.”
― Rinsai Rossetti, quote from The Girl with Borrowed Wings
“I used to come here to think," he told me, landing beside the tree. It was so short that my head was only a few inches above his.
"Sangris," I said in shock, "you think? When did this start?”
― Rinsai Rossetti, quote from The Girl with Borrowed Wings
“Then I got to my feet, and, taking my arms, he drew me out of my picture frame, into the darkness and the heat, to a place where the ground was frighteningly, thrillingly far away, and the sunless sky was burning and trembling all around us.”
― Rinsai Rossetti, quote from The Girl with Borrowed Wings
“I rely on a backbone of books and, for the most part, it's enough to keep me quiet, half-drugged with dreams of imaginary worlds.”
― Rinsai Rossetti, quote from The Girl with Borrowed Wings

“What else do I deserve?” One side of his lips tipped up. “Everything, baby, you deserve everything.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Frigid
“He seems an unlikely companion for a woman like Edie Banister, but the world, Daniel once observed, is a great honeycombed thing composed of separated mysteries.”
― Nick Harkaway, quote from Angelmaker
“Hay una materia pensante de la cual todas las cosas están hechas y la cual, en su estado original, impregna, penetra y llena los inter espacios del universo. En esta sustancia, un pensamiento produce la cosa imaginada por el pensamiento. Una persona puede formar cosas en su pensamiento y, al grabar su pensamiento en la sustancia sin formar, puede causar que aquello en lo que ha pensado sea creado. Para hacer esto, una persona debe pasar de la mente competitiva a la mente creativa; debe formarse una imagen mental de las cosas que quiere y mantener esta imagen en sus pensamientos con el firme PROPÓSITO de obtener lo que quiere y la FE inquebrantable de que obtendrá lo que quiere, cerrando su mente contra todo lo que pueda tender a quebrantar su propósito, nublar su visión o extinguir su fe. Así que para que pueda recibir lo que quiera cuando venga, una persona debe actuar AHORA sobre la gente y las cosas en su ambiente actual.”
― Wallace D. Wattles, quote from The Science of Getting Rich

The City Of Tremblin...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.
