“When to people tell the same lie..."
"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”
“Could be both,” said Will. “Haven’t you ever heard of pornographic gibberish before?”
“Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and spirit with spirit can meet, Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.” Then try to realize that when you do “Speak to Him” you are in touch with Omnipotence.”
“Truth is one. It doesn't change. It covers all things which touch the heart - honor and pride and pity and justice and courage and love.”

“Well, the more I learn, the less motivation I can find for Colonel Moore to kill his subordinate. On the other hand, I see that other people could have strong motives.”
Kent looked exasperated, and he said, “Paul, I understand what you’re doing up to a point, and so will everyone else. But you’ve passed that point, and if you don’t arrest Moore now and he turns out to be the killer, and the FBI arrests him, then you look really stupid.”
“I know that, Bill. But if I do arrest him and he’s not the killer, I look worse than stupid.”
“Show some balls.”
“Fuck you.”

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.
