“Without thorough training in the sense of self-observation, the days usually go by in a state of fascination with the events of daily life and therefore without one being aware of certain inner states (egos) and harmful actions that may have been present.”
“It’s vital to learn to use events of life to become aware and to deal with them while watching the egos. This is not easy, but if you persist you will learn to do it.”
“Self-remembrance is vital to be successful esoterically. It is only in those moments when you remember to do it that an inner work actually takes place. If you consider how often this happens and for how many moments through the day, then you will get some idea of how much you are actually working towards self-knowledge.”
“Bear in mind that the subconscious is not trying to work things out while dreaming: it is projecting what is there onto the astral plane.”
“If you progress in this work you will eventually realise that life is a school. In your dreams you may find yourself being taught in a classroom; this is part of the teaching that someone goes through in the higher dimensions.”
“Surrender to your fear so you may triumph over it.”
“I don't know who made the laws; But I know there ain't no law that you got to go hungry.”
“The only preventative measure one can take is to live irregularly.”
“...free will does not mean one will, but many wills conflicting in one man. Freedom cannot be conceived simply.”
“Everybody knows that Aristotelian two-value logic is fucked.”
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.
