“Sometimes what we don't want is actually what we need.”
― Nikolas Lee, quote from The Iron-Jawed Boy
“No one is only one thing, my dear.”

“Your jaw makes you different, Ionikus Reaves, and more often than not, it is our differences that make us stronger.”
― Nikolas Lee, quote from The Iron-Jawed Boy
“The Balance, my boy, is the war that has been waged since before time was time, the battle within ourselves to do what is good and reject what is bad. It is a delicate line we all walk, a constant struggle of push and pull.”
― Nikolas Lee, quote from The Iron-Jawed Boy
“When he wasn’t busy chasing unseen mice around the academy, Ion spent hours in the Borean Study, searching through dusty books for anything that had to do with the banshee or the Shroud. But finding this anything proved to be difficult as well, especially when the books you’re reading have everything to do with something, but certainly nothing to do with your anything. And in trying to find this anything, Ion forgot about a very important, specific thing, which would quickly ruin his Wednesday.”
― Nikolas Lee, quote from The Iron-Jawed Boy

“..седнах на земята и видях сам себе си, наобиколен от гълъби, които се галят в мен, за тях аз бях живителен бог, вглеждах се назад в живота си и виждах себе си сега, заобиколен от божи пратеници, гълъби и гълъбици, сякаш бях някакъв светец, сякаш бяха избраник на небесата, и докато другите ми се смееха, чувах смях, викове и подмятания, аз бях обдарен с гълъбово послание и вярвах, че невероятното отново е станало реалност, и че дори да имах десет милиона и три хотела, това галене и тези целуващи човчици на гълъби и гълъбици, те са ми изпратени от самите небеса, които навярно са харесали нещо в мен, всичко изглеждаше така, както го бях виждал на картините по олтарите и върху изобразяващите пътя на Христос към Голгота стенописи, покрай които се прибирахме в килиите си.Аз обаче нищо не виждах и нищо не чувах, исках само да бъда това, което никога не можах да стана, милионер, и въпреки че притежавах два милиона, многократен милионер станах едва сега, когато за първи път видях, че тези гълъбици са мои приятели, че са, като в някоя притча, послание, което тепърва ме очаква...”

“You should always trust a man...just as far as you must.”

“Why don’t you and Ali set the table? The forks and knives and spoons are in that drawer.” She pointed to the cabinet by the sink, and Emma began counting out the utensils—four of each.
“There’s only three of us,” I said.
“You forgot Mr. Bear.” Emma sat the teddy in the extra chair and laid a fork, knife, and spoon in front of him. I laughed a little louder than I’d meant to, in relief, I guess, that Mr. Bear was joining us . . . not the ghost from Emma’s dream.”
― Mary Downing Hahn, quote from Deep and Dark and Dangerous (A Ghost Story)
“The line between education and brainwashing is paper thin”

“İblis: "Müzik her ne kadar Hristiyanlık tarafından kullanılıp geliştirilse de, aynı zamanda reddedildi ve şeytani bir alan olarak dışlandı-işte görüyorsun. Müzik fevkalade teolojik bir mesele; tıpkı günah gibi, benim gibi...”

Once a WitchBookQuoters 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.
