“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.”
― Belzebuub, quote from The Peace of the Spirit Within: A Guide to Transform Your Life
“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.”
― Belzebuub, quote from The Peace of the Spirit Within: A Guide to Transform Your Life
“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.”
― Belzebuub, quote from The Peace of the Spirit Within: A Guide to Transform Your Life
“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.”
― Belzebuub, quote from The Peace of the Spirit Within: A Guide to Transform Your Life
“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.”
― Belzebuub, quote from The Peace of the Spirit Within: A Guide to Transform Your Life
“Q: How do you kill a hydra?
A: You strike at its heart.”
― Madeleine Roux, quote from Asylum
“The vase was placed upon my desk, and there were orange-blossoms in it—orange-blossoms, in an English winter!”
― Sarah Waters, quote from Affinity
“And I just keep going and going, picking up pins and stabbing them into the paper until the map is covered with places I’ll never see and the clear plastic box is as empty as I am.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Don’t you remember how hot we were together, Lane? God.” He takes a quick breath through clenched teeth and runs his hand down my side, “The things I can do to your body if you’d let me.”
― Michelle A. Valentine, quote from Rock the Heart
“What I know now is that gallant young men rarely get pussy. Put it on a sampler and hang it in your kitchen.”
― Stephen King, quote from Joyland
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.
