“In this office we do not have problems. We have interesting developments. We have challenges. If we absolute must we may, on occasion, have a slight difficulty. But under no circumstances whatsoever do we have problems.”
― Karen Miller, quote from The Innocent Mage
“What's going on? Not much. My mother's falling to pieces, my sister is a selfish bitch and my father's committing slow suicide for sake of his kingdom. That's all.”
― Karen Miller, quote from The Innocent Mage
“The Innocent Mage is come , and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything”
― Karen Miller, quote from The Innocent Mage
“In the Final Days shall come the Innocent Mage, born to save the world from blood and death.
He shall enter the House of the Usurper
He shall learn their ways
He shall earn their love
He shall lay down his life
And Jervale's Heir shall know him, and guide him, and enlighten him not.”
― Karen Miller, quote from The Innocent Mage
“Until the song is sung and the musicians have all gone home, not even you can tell which notes made the melody.”
― Karen Miller, quote from The Innocent Mage
“The cripple gave him a look. 'I remember that just yesterday you told me I was a cretin and a fool and a disgrace to the memory of my ancestors.'
'Academic hyperbole.' Morg dismissed the complaint with the wave of one hand.'It was merely enthusiastic encouragement, I assure you.'
'Perhaps overenthusiastic would be a more accurate description' muttered the cripple.”

“إن شخصًا عاقًلا سيشعر دائمًا، وسط نقاش، بالتبسيط، وستكون رغبته الوحيدة القيام بتشطيبات ووضع علامات نجمية على بعض الكلمات وملاحظات في أسفل الصفحة وتعليقات في نهاية المخطوطة ليعبر حقًا عن فكره. ولكن في نقاش يجري في ركن من ممر، أو أثناء عشاء أو على صفحات صحيفة، قلما يكون ذلك ممكنًا: فالموضوع ليس موضوع قسوة وموضوعية وتجرد ونزاهة. الفضيلة هي عقبلة بلاغية وهي غير ناجعة في جدل. بعض العقول النيرة، التي ترى الخواء الضروري لكل نقاش، اختارت أن تتخابث وتوسوس بالتعقيد عبر المفارقة والدعابة المواربة. لما لا؟ ففي النهاية هذه وسيلة نجاة.”

“I’m still afraid to sleep—too many ghosts peering creeping condemning.”

“The key is to just get on the bike, and the key to getting on the bike…is to stop thinking about “there are a bunch of reasons I might fall off ” and just hop on and peddle the damned thing. You can pick up a map, a tire pump, and better footwear along the way.”
― Varun Agarwal, quote from How I Braved Anu Aunty & Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company
“Perhaps so many journals had piled up in the lighthouse because on some level most came, in time, to recognize the futility of language. Not just in Area X but against the rightness of the lived-in moment, the instant of touch, of connection for which words were such a sorrowful disappointment, so inadequate an expression of both the finite and the infinite.”
― Jeff VanderMeer, quote from Acceptance
“It was as if a different person put the key in the ignition and drove away from everything that was familiar. There was no going back now. There was no going forward either. He was going in sideways, sort of, and as frightening as that was, there was the thrill...”

MarchBookQuoters 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.
