"They are working together," Will finished”
“words have the power o change us”
“Tessa snorted. “And what color do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?” “Mauve,” said Will.”
“the end of a life is the sum of the love that was lived in it,”
“I believe we are dust and shadows.”
“Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, they contain pure truths, before we cluttered our languages with so many useless words.”
“There are more important things than being careful.”
“Virtutea ingerilor este ca nu pot deveni rai; defectul lor este ca nu pot deveni mai buni. Defectul unui om este ca poate deveni rau; iar virtutea sa este ca poate deveni mai bun."
"Dragoste, speranta, teama, credinta - asta inseamna omenescul; Acestea-s semnul, firea si caracterul lui.”
“For words have the power to change us.”
“...¿Por qué sería que los brujos siempre parecían tan...siniestros? Quizá con la excepción de Magnus, pero le daba la sensación de que Magnus era la excepción a muchas reglas.”
“When ghosts rose, they drew energy from their surroundings, depriving the air around them of heat.”
“-¿A qué clase de monstruo no le gusta el chocolate?” Will Herondale”

“Когато бях малък често се къпех заедно с мама и тя изобщо не си криеше гърдите от мен, дори можех да си играя с тях, но от няколко месеца тя реши, че вече ми е забранено и сега само татко има право да ги вижда, освен самата мама, разбира се. Странно нещо са женските гърди: в началото на живота носът ти постоянно е заврян в тях, а после малко по малко се отдръпват и идва един ден, в който дори нямаш право да ги виждаш. Но по телевизията и във филмите жените показват гърдите си пред всички, целите освен зърното, сякаш зърното съдържа някаква свещена тайна, а пък не е така. Най-често дори нямат мляко.”
“Someone needs to give the Pope thirteen babies. Just for a week or so. See how he likes no birth control then.”
“A dehoy who was terribly hobble,
Cast only stones that were cobble
And bats that were ding,
From a shot that was sling,
But never hit inks that were bobble.”
“Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself.”
“I never realized how much water a person used until I started packing it up from the creek---water for washing clothes, for washing yourself,for cooking,washing dishes. That’s all I seem to do all day is pack water and then dump it out.”
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.
