“Three men can keep a secret only once two of them are at the bottom of the river.”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“But there was never any arguing with Janus, least of all from the other end of a flik-flik line.”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“Is that what love is supposed to look like? Wanting the best for another person, regardless of what it means for yourself?”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“They both offered Winter crisp salutes, but the expression on their faces made her uncomfortable. It was the look of Women meeting a legend. When did I become a legend?”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“Raesinia wondered if Maurisk, in the barricaded offices of the Hotel Ancerre, repeated it to himself. Janus is coming.”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“He noticed—it was impossible not to notice—that Raesinia was wearing a sheer silk nightgown that did little or nothing to hide the shape of the figure beneath it. A woman’s figure, Marcus had to admit. The queen’s diminutive height made it easy to forget that she’d passed her twentieth year.”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“I’m on it,” Cyte said. “I’ll have our supplies waiting at the gate in the morning. That just leaves—” Winter sighed. “Jane. I know.” “We could leave them behind.” Cyte smiled, to show it was a joke, and Winter forced a faint smile in return. “Abby would never forgive me.” I would never forgive myself. “I’ll go and talk to her now. Maybe they haven’t had time to get drunk yet.” I”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“Why do you continue your... charade? Your current position would seem to be a good one for revealing the truth'.
'A few people know, sir. Bobby, Jane, some of the Leatherbacks. For the rest... it just seems easier to keep things as they are.' Winter thought of Novus and his tirade. 'It would be one thing if I had just joined up, but it's been so long. People might be upset that they'd been fooled. And...'
Janus raised an eyebrow. Winter hesitated.
'It's all right for the Girl's Own,' she said. 'They joined up because Vordan needs them, and when the war's over they'll go home. I... I haven't anywhere to go.' She tugged the collar of her uniform. 'This is who I am now, for better or worse. This is my home. After the war, maybe it will be all right for a woman to keep this on, but... maybe not.'
Winter found her throat getting thick. She'd never put it that way before, never even thought it so bluntly. This is my home.”

“Best way to get on someone’s good side is to make it ‘me and you against the idiots.”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“Liberators are always more popular than conquerors. And a return to law and order is more welcome once people have gotten a taste for what life is like without it.”
― Django Wexler, quote from The Price of Valour
“But Marcus had refused to be persuaded. His naïveté can be sweet, when it’s not so annoying.”

“Experience is the only teacher,” Hey-Soos says. “Even if I could have told you, it would have been a lecture. Why do you think kids don’t listen to their parents, or people don’t leave churches and do what the preacher tells them?”

“E io che c'entro?", disse Gabriel, rilanciando il foglio a Kaitlyn. Era sdraiato sul letto a leggere una rivista di automobili - vetture di lusso. "Non è un problema mio".
Kaitlyn afferrò il foglio a mezz'aria. Aveva dovuto ricorrere a tutto il suo autocontrollo per entrare in quella stanza. Probabilmente non avrebbe dovuto farlo, ma in quel momento non riusciva ad affrontare Rob da sola, e Anna era al telefono con i suoi familiari dall'ora di cena.
Kaitlyn si sforzò di mantenere la calma.
"Se c'è qualcosa di vero in quello che sostiene Marisol, allora è un problema di tutti", disse a Gabriel con fermezza. "E tu sei stato l'unico a dire che qui c'era qualcosa che non andava".
Il ragazzo si strinse nelle spalle. "E allora?".
Kait aveva voglia di urlare. "Tu sei convinto che ci sia qualcosa che non va - ma non t'importa di scoprirlo? Non vuoi fare niente?".
Un accenno di sorriso baleno sulle labbra di Gabriel.
"Certo che voglio fare qualcosa. Farò quello che so fare meglio".
Kaitlyn non voleva dargli soddisfazione, ma non riuscì a nascondere la propria curiosità. Anche se si sentiva ridotta a fare la spalla di un comico, buttò lì la domanda: "E cosa sarebbe?"
"Pensare a me stesso", rispose compiaciuto Gabriel. Gli occhi neri scintillarono di maligna soddisfazione.”
― L.J. Smith, quote from The Strange Power
“I myself beheld the King
Charge at the head of all his Table Round,
And all his legions crying Christ and him,
And break them; and I saw him, after, stand
High on a heap of slain, from spur to plume
Red as the rising sun with heathen blood,
And seeing me, with a great voice he cried,
"They are broken, they are broken!" for the King,
However mild he seems at home, nor cares
For triumph in our mimic wars, the jousts—
For if his own knight cast him down, he laughs
Saying, his knights are better men than he—
Yet in this heathen war the fire of God
Fills him: I never saw his like: there lives
No greater leader.”
― Alfred Tennyson, quote from Idylls of the King
“But even if we were to disappear, people would still be divided into people and Others. No matter how those Others were different.
People can't get by without Others. Put two people on an uninhabited island, and you'll have a human being and an Other. And the difference is that an Other is always tormented by his differentness. It's easier for people. They know they're people, and that's what they ought to be. And they all have no choice but to be that way. All of them, forever.”

EclipseBookQuoters 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.
