“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.”

“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.”

“That uncomfortable buzzing in your head is the hum of thought. I know the sensation must be quite unfamiliar.”
― Joe Hill, quote from 20th Century Ghosts
“Cum spune Virilio, războiul nu apare câtuși de puțin când omul aplică omului raportul de vânător pe care îl avea cu animalul, ci, din contră, atunci când captează forța animalului vânat pentru a intra cu omul într-un cu totul alt raport, care e cel de război (inamic, nu pradă).Nu e deci de mirare că mașina de război este invenția nomazilor crescători de animale: creșterea și dresarea animalelor nu se confundă nici cu vânătoarea primitivă, nici cu domesticirea sedentară, ci reprezintă, tocmai, descoperirea unui sistem proiector și proiectil. ...’ În încălecare, se conservă energia cinetică, viteza calului, nu proteinele (motorul, nu carnea). Pe când la vânătoare, vânătorul urmărea să oprească mișcarea animalului sălbatic printr-o ucidere sistematică, crescătorul începe să o conserve și, prin intermediul dresajului, cel care încalecă animalul se asociază acestei mișcări, orientând-o și provocându-i accelerarea.”

The Left Hand of GodBookQuoters 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.
