“In her he saw possibility. In her he saw the future. And when she was ready for it, he would be, too”
― Aimee Carter, quote from The Goddess Legacy
“Love is the way I feel for you, the way you fill something inside me whenever you so much as walk into the same room. Sometimes love is quite, lingering in the background until you least expect it. But love it always there for you”
― Aimee Carter, quote from The Goddess Legacy
“happiness is a choice, but so is misery. Choose wisely.”
― Aimee Carter, quote from The Goddess Legacy

― 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
“Eros is my sun, Ares is my fire, but Hephaestus is my rock, my foundation, and no matter where I go or what I do, I will always come back to him. I know that now.”
― Aimee Carter, quote from The Goddess Legacy

“I believe in magic. In evil sorceresses who deep down are really beautiful princesses. I believe in immortals who live in a different world than this one, accessible by magical stone wheels.”
― Morgan Rhodes, quote from Crystal Storm
“As a Christian you have a desire and a duty to be honest in all things, but you must honor your husband as you do so. So, if you cannot sign your name to a document that would make you a liar, you must refuse to do so with grace and humility. There may be other ways to deal with it. Perhaps you could file separate tax returns, whereby you wouldn’t be required to sign his returns, and then you wouldn’t be involved in how he conducts his business.”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“بإمكانك تصور مشاعري فيما لو تخيلت أنك تشعر بالحر والتعب في حين يسير كل شيء أمامك في الاتجاه المعاكس. ففي كل مرة تحاول فيها عبور الطريق تجد حافلةّ على وشك أن تدهسك. وتشعر كأنّ الكون بأجمعه أصبح معادياً لك. إنّ إحساسك بالطمأنينة يتبدد ويغدو كلّ ما له علاقة بحياتك قابلاً للتدمير والزوال، مايعطيك فكرةً عن المنحى الذي يتّخذه هذا الهجوم، في الماضي، كنت أزعم أنّ هذه الهجمات ماهي إلّا هجمات التشاؤم والإشفاق على الذات، وكنت أجِدُ لي سريعاً أمراً أقلق بشأنه بحيث يبدو الأمر مقبولاً. فجميعنا يقاتل جميعاً في مثل هذه المعارك مئات المرات يومياً، والذين يتحقق لهم النصر التام إنما يحققون ذلك في التخلي عن نزعاتهم السلبية والقلق بشأن الحياة من خلال التفكير وفق مفاهيم الانتصار والأهداف الهامة.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Worst of all were the accolades and thanks from people "for what you guys did over there." Thanks for what, I wanted to ask—shooting kids, cowering in terror behind a berm, dropping artillery on people's homes?”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“To look, see and observe are different ways of using the organ of sight, each with its own intensity, even when there is some deterioration, for example, to look without seeing, when someone is distracted, a common situation in traditional novels, or to see and not notice, when the eyes out of weariness and boredom avoid anything likely to tax them. Only by observing can we achieve full vision, when at a given moment or successively, our attention becomes concentrated,”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon

GhostBookQuoters 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.
