“Being kind is one of the hardest thing to be in high school because you're so terrified of being cut down yourself that you're always on your guard. But don't be like that. Be kind and you will be truly different. A standout. Unique and happy.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“If you believed that thoughts were energy and energy is matter (E=mc2) and matter never disappears, then a person can never truly leave you unless you stop thinking about them. Everything you shared with a person is still there swirling around in the universe. Love, Cam had to admit, might be real. And love endures. Relationships endure. Because thoughts are energy, energy is matter, and matter never disappears.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“The present moment can be chopped into infinitely smaller present moments. This moment is forever. And it is all that matters.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“We weren't put on this earth to go it alone.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Kind of like people. We're too lazy to change, so we'll just keep doing what we're doing until it's too late.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“You can't force your will with the universe. You just have to trust how things unfold.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“People keep talking about this unfolding. I can't trust the unfolding, okay? If there is some higher power making origami out of the universe, it hates my guts. I was a fat kid whose parents got divorced, whose father died, and then who got cancer herself. So no. I don't trust how things are going to unfold.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“She’d trained herself for so long not to want or to hope or to wish, that she had a hard time pinning down something to ask for.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“If Cam finally learned one lesson before she died, it would be that being kind was sometimes more important than being right.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Some people say you should pay attention to coincidence. It can show you your path. Besides, these coincidences are enough to keep people believing. To give them some hope.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“I think some girls get so caught up in the wedding part that they forget about the marriage part, and they end up bonded for life to the wrong person. It's not the wedding part that matters.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“This is what it felt like to have a broken heart. It felt less like a cracking down the middle and more like she had swallowed it whole and it sat bruised and bleeding in the pit of her stomach.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“. . . Mind if I take the flamingo?"
"It's $2.89."
"Whoa, Darren, you drive a hard bargain. How about I'm just going to take it?”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Infinity fascinated her. How systems and universes could keep getting infinitely smaller in one direction and infinitely larger in another. How the shape of an atom so precisely mimicked the shape of the solar system. How there wasn't an end to anything.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Get used to that, Nana. He has a way of appearing out of thin air.'
'Oh my. Asher. Hm. Hm. Hm. Turn around. He's beautiful, Campbell. Are you schtupping my granddaughter?' she asked him.
'No, ma'am.'
'Well, I give you my permission.'
And just liked that, Cam's love life was ruined forever. If and when she ever 'schtupped' Asher, she'd have to do everything she could not to think of her grandmotehr.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“We just wanted to see how you were doing,' Asher said.
'Well, that *is* a miracle,' said Perry. She took out her notebook and said out loud as she wrote, "Number forty: Campbell...has...friends.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“You steal my donkey and then to apologize you bring me a flamingo?'
'He's irresistible, though,' Asher said, lifting Buddy onto his lap and pretending to squeeze his cheeks. 'Look at that face.'
'He is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.'
'I know,' Asher said, 'but he's one of God's creatures.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Love'--romantic love, anyway--was a fantasy people indulged in because otherwise, life was just too boring to tolerate.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Asher, help!' she cried as she climbed down the steep, twisting path to the beach.
'Help. Don't help. You give me mixed messages.' Asher sighed as he stuck his keys into his pocket and followed Cam to the edge of the lawn.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“*Go cow-tipping.* Close enough to donkey-napping.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Or just don't wear it. Then you can check off the skinny-dipping and kill two birds.'
'I'm not surfing naked, Asher.'
'Rats,' he said.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Cam stepped inside the music and let it close around her like a bubble.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“A'ohe I pau ka 'ike I ka halau ho'okahi, she said. It was a popular hula adage that meant:All knowledge is not contained in only one school.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“Because thoughts are energy, energy is matter, and matter never disappears...”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“I called your bluff,' he said.
'I see that,' she answered. 'I'll be down in five minutes.'
'Right on.”
― Wendy Wunder, quote from The Probability of Miracles
“If you put a frog in some warm water and slowly turn up the heat, he'll stay there until he boils. Kind of like people. We're too lazy to change so we'll just keep doing what we're doing until it's too late.”

“Her face deeply moved him. Why, he could at first not say. It gave him the impression of youth--spring flowers, yet age--a sense of having been used to the bone, wasted; this came from the eyes, which were hauntingly familiar, yet absolutely strange. He had a vivid impression that he had met her before, but try as he might he could not place her although he could almost recall her name, as he had read it in her own handwriting. No, this couldn't be; he would have remembered her. It was not, he affirmed, that she had an extraordinary beauty--no, though her face was attractive enough; it was that something about her moved him. Feature for feature, even some of the ladies of the photographs could do better; but she lapsed forth to this heart--had lived, or wanted to--more than just wanted, perhaps regretted how she had lived--had somehow deeply suffered: it could be seen in the depths of those reluctant eyes, and from the way the light enclosed and shone from her, and within her, opening realms of possibility: this was her own. Her he desired. His head ached and eyes narrowed with the intensity of his gazing, then as if an obscure fog had blown up in the mind, he experienced fear of her and was aware that he had received an impression, somehow, of evil. He shuddered, saying softly, it is thus with us all. Leo brewed some tea in a small pot and sat sipping it without sugar, to calm himself. But before he had finished drinking, again with excitement he examined the face and found it good: good for Leo Finkle. Only such a one could understand him and help him seek whatever he was seeking. She might, perhaps, love him. How she had happened to be among the discards in Salzman's barrel he could never guess, but he knew he must urgently go find her.”
― Bernard Malamud, quote from The Magic Barrel
“Right. Mutation is the trigger that moves evolution forward. So, how do mutations happen?”

“Innumerable confusions and a profound feeling of despair invariably emerge in periods of great technological and cultural transitions. Our "Age of Anxiety" is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's job with yesterday's tools—with yesterday's concepts.”
― Marshall McLuhan, quote from The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects
“I'd do anything for you. You know that?" he whispered into my ear. "If you fell, I'd hold you. If you were afraid, I'd wrap my arms around you and take away your fears. I'd die to keep you safe but more than anything I'd do whatever it takes to keep you by my side. For you I'd conquer anything, everything, anytime.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love

Losing Me Finding Yo...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.
