“them intentionally, effectively, and satisfactorily through your physical expression of life. The Law of Attraction is the first of the Laws that we will offer, for if you do not understand, and are not able to effectively apply, the Law of Attraction, then the second Law, the Science of Deliberate Creation, and the third, the Art of Allowing, cannot be utilized. You must first understand and effectively utilize the first Law in order to understand and utilize the second. And you must be able to understand and utilize the second Law before you will be able to understand and utilize the third. The first Law, the Law of Attraction, says: That which is like unto itself, is drawn. While this may seem like a rather simple statement, it defines the most powerful Law in the Universe—a Law that affects all things at all times. Nothing exists that is unaffected by this powerful Law. The second Law, the Science of Deliberate Creation, says: That which I give thought to and that which I believe or expect—is. In short, you get what you are thinking about, whether you want it or not. A deliberate application of thought is really what the Science of Deliberate Creation is about, for if you do not understand these Laws, and deliberately apply them, then you may very well be creating by default. The third Law, the Art of Allowing, says: I am that which I am, and I am willing to allow all others to be that which they are. When you are willing to allow others to be as they are, even in their not allowing of you, then you will be an Allower, but it is not likely that you will reach that point until you first come to understand how it is you get what you get. Only when you understand that another cannot be a part of your experience unless you invite them in through your thoughts (or through your attention to them), and that circumstances cannot be a part of your experience unless you invite them to you through your thought (or through your observation of them), will you be the Allower that you wanted to be when you came forth into this expression of life. An understanding of these three powerful Universal Laws, and a deliberate application of them, will lead you to the joyous freedom of being able to create your own life experience exactly as you want it to be. Once you understand that all people, circumstances, and events are invited into your experience by you, through your thought, you will begin to live your life as you intended when you made the decision to come forth into this physical body. And so, an understanding of the powerful Law of Attraction, coupled with an intention to Deliberately Create your own life experience, will ultimately lead you to the unparalleled freedom that can only come from a complete understanding and application of the Art of Allowing.”
― Esther Hicks, quote from The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham


“It was a land of shadows and ice.

Of gray. And grayer. And black.

-The Unseelie prison of Aedan”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from Into the Dreaming


“Not Brangien who was faithful, not Brangien, but themselves had these lovers to fear, for hearts so stricken will lose their vigilance. Love pressed them hard, as thirst presses the dying stag to the stream; love dropped upon them from high heaven, as a hawk slipped after long hunger falls right upon the bird. And love will not be hidden.”
― Joseph Bédier, quote from The Romance of Tristan and Iseult


“ОФИЦИАЛНО ПИСМО

Имам честта да Ви уведомя за следните факти, на които ми се удаде възможността да бъда колкото безпристрастен, толкова и потресен свидетел.
На днешния ден, около обед, аз се намирах на платформата на един автобус, който се движеше по улица Курсел към площад Шампере. Споменатият автобус беше пълен – даже повече от пълен, бих казал, предвид, че кондукторът бе превишил правата си, подтикван от прекомерно добродушие, което впоследствие прерасна в снизходителност. На всяка спирка напиращите пътници, които слизаха и се качваха, не пропускаха случая да предизвикат известна блъсканица, която принуди един от присъстващите да възроптае, макар и не без боязън. Длъжен съм обаче да отбележа, че той отиде да седне при първа възможност.
В същия ред на мисли бих искал да прибавя към този кратък разказ следното: по стечение на обстоятелствата впоследствие забелязах въпросния пътник в компанията на една личност, която не успях да идентифицирам; разговорът, който водеха оживено, явно засягаше въпроси от естетически характер.
Имайки предвид тези обстоятелства, Ви умолявам, господине, да бъдете така добър и да ми посочите изводите, които следва да извлека от случилото се, както и поведението, към което да се придържам в по-нататъшния си живот.
В очакване на Вашия отговор Ви моля, господине, да приемете моите най-искрени почитания.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style


“The world was out there waiting to be explored—and not just waiting, but wanting to be explored. So why in heaven’s name shouldn’t I investigate every nook and cranny?”
― Lauren Myracle, quote from Shine

About BookQuoters

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.
