― Aimee Carter, quote from The Goddess Legacy

“So while gods and goddesses are mysteriously dying for reasons the council can’t possibly be sure of, you’re going to listen to Zeus for the first time in your life.”
“He’d track me down the instant he knew I was gone. You know that.”
“Unless…” Her fingers danced over the parchment, an inch from my knee. “Someone kind,generous, thoughtful and extremely beautiful covered for you.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Do you think someone like that actually exists?”
She punched me in the arm.”
― Aimee Carter, quote from The Goddess Legacy

“I had to wonder if the Lord above had flashed a heavenly spotlight over my head and whispered, "Preach this sermon just for her. She's not going to get the message otherwise.”
― Janice Thompson, quote from Fools Rush In
“«Дон Хуан объяснил, что в энергетическом потоке вселенной имеются входы и выходы, и что в конкретном случае сновидения входов — семь. Сновидящий воспринимает их как препятствия, которые и были названы магами семью вратами сновидения.
— Первые врата — это особый порог. Преодолевается он посредством осознания особого ощущения, возникающего перед тем, как человек проваливается в глубокий сон, — говорил дон Хуан. — Это ощущение сродни чувству приятной тяжести, которая не дает нам открыть глаза. Мы достигаем врат в то самое мгновение, когда осознаем, что засыпаем, паря во тьме и ощущении тяжести.
— Но как я могу осознать, что засыпаю? Существуют ли какие-либо специальные приемы?
— Нет. Никаких специальных приемов. Просто намерение осознать, что засыпаешь.
— Но откуда мне взять такое намерение?
— Намерение — это вещь, о которой очень сложно сказать что-нибудь вразумительное. Если я или кто бы то ни было попытается объяснить, что такое намерение, — его слова будут напоминать идиотический бред. Сейчас я попробую сформулировать. Маг формирует намерение совершить то, что он намерен совершить, просто за счет того, что он намеревается это совершить.»”
― Carlos Castaneda, quote from The Art of Dreaming
“War was war and soldiers were the same the world over, although killing came easier to some than others.”
― Sharon Kay Penman, quote from Lionheart
“Every love song I write now is because of you. Every song I will ever write for the rest of my life will be because of you.”
― A. Meredith Walters, quote from Bad Rep
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.
