“I thought you were going to CALL me? I call this texting ;-)
The reply came back within seconds:
I find it easier to take rejection in writing...”
― Karen Mahoney, quote from The Iron Witch
“Dammit woman, stop trying to beat me. I'll sue you for domestic violence.”
― Karen Mahoney, quote from The Iron Witch
“I don't think I believe in angels, that's all. And if you were one, that would mean I'd have to re-evaluate my beliefs. I'm not quite ready to do that.”
― Karen Mahoney, quote from The Iron Witch
“At the ripe old age of seventeen, Donna had decided that "happily ever after" didn't exist for freaks like her.”
― Karen Mahoney, quote from The Iron Witch
“Donna wasn't fooled by his lazy movements and sleep eyes - this guy was sharp, underneath the laid-back exterior.”
― Karen Mahoney, quote from The Iron Witch
“The creature had nut-brown skin mixed with patches of ash. It was human-sized and formed, but its skin looked like the bark of an old, old tree. About the same height as Donna, it was spindly with arms and legs that were all joints and angles. Its face was narrow and pointed, with hair on top of its head like thick moss and narrow black eyes that glinted even in the dim light of the room. The thing’s body was clothed in lichen and moss, with vines twining around its sharp limbs. The creature opened its lipless mouth, a dark slash across its twisted face.
Donna’s mind flashed back to the party and the shadow she’d seen sliding through the darkness outside Xan’s house. She hadn’t been imagining things, after all.
The wood elves had returned to the city.”
― Karen Mahoney, quote from The Iron Witch
“feeling a bit like cinderella, she made it home at two minutes past one last night.”

“I hate not talking to you, I hate not bickering like we're an old married couple and I hate not spending every day right next to you. -- Chase”
― Molly McAdams, quote from Taking Chances
“Where there is great love there are always miracles,” he said at length. “One might almost say that an apparition is human vision corrected by divine love. I do not see you as you really are, Joseph; I see you through my affection for you. The Miracles of the Church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always.”
― Willa Cather, quote from Death Comes for the Archbishop
“Please, Orma, I’ve already gotten you in so much trouble—”
“That I can’t possibly get into more. Take it.” He wouldn’t stop glaring at me until I’d put the earring back on its cord. “You are all that’s left of Linn. Her own people won’t even say her name. I—I value your continued existence.”
I could not speak; he had pierced me to my very heart.”
― Rachel Hartman, quote from Seraphina
“Здрачът изведнъж се спуска върху прозореца. Забулва го с воал от почти невидима дрезгавина. Всичко е още тук както преди — светлината вън, зеленината, жълтите пътища, двете палми в големите саксии от фаянс, небето с облачните фронтове, далечното, сиво и червено гъмжило от покриви в града, зад горите… И нищо не е вече тук както преди — здрачът го е изолирал, покрил го е с лака на преходността, приготвил го е за храна на вълци на нощта — както домакините приготвят печено с кисел сос. Само Изабел е още тук, вкопчила се в последното въже на светлината, но то вече я въвлича в драмата на вечерта, която никога не е била драма, а е драма само защото знаем, че се нарича преходност. Едва откакто сме узнали, че трябва да умрем, и защото знаем това, идилията се е превърнала в драма, кръгът — в копие, развитието — в упадък, викът — в страх, а бягството — в присъда.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Black Obelisk
“Silence is not just about secrecy, Your Majesty. It is grief and it is shame.”

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.
