“A terrorist doesn't let strangers into her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place
The terrorist doesn't know that one of these kids has bugged every room in her house, made copies of all her computer files and stolen her address book.
The kid works for CHERUB
CHERUB agents are aged between 10 and 17. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail.”
― Robert Muchamore, quote from The Recruit

“Tumad aveva il comando della scorta, come accadeva la maggior parte dei giorni in cui Bashere non aveva mansioni più importanti da affidare al giovane tenente. Bashere lo stava istruendo.
Riusciva a pensare con chiarezza e vedere al di là di ciò che gli stava di fronte: era destinato a un rango elevato, se fosse vissuto abbastanza. Un uomo alto, anche se più basso di un paio di palmi rispetto a Bael, oggi il malumore campeggiava sul suo volto come un secondo naso.
«Cosa ti turba, Tumad?»
«L'Aiel aveva ragione, mio signore.» Tumad diede un rabbioso strattone alla sua spessa barba nera con un pugno guantato. «Questi Andorani sputano ai nostri piedi. Non mi piace dovermi allontanare mentre ci fanno le boccacce.» Be', era ancora giovane.
«Trovi la nostra situazione noiosa, forse?» rise Bashere. «Hai bisogno di più eccitazione? Tenobia è solo cinquanta leghe a nord di qui, e se si può fare affidamento sulle dicerie, ha portato con sé Ethenielle di Kandor e Paitar di Arafel, e perfino quello Shienarese, Easar. Tutta la potenza delle Marche di Confine viene a cercarci, Tumad. Neanche a quegli Andorani giù nel Murandy piace che noi ci troviamo nell'Andor, stando a quanto ho udito, e se quell'esercito di Aes Sedai che stanno affrontando non li riduce in pezzi, o se non l'ha già fatto, potrebbero venire a cercarci. E se è per questo porrebbero farlo anche le Aes Sedai, presto o tardi. Abbiamo cavalcato per il Drago Rinato, e non riesco a immaginare nessuna Sorella che possa dimenticarsene. E poi ci sono i Seanchan, Tumad. Pensi davvero che non li incontreremo più? Verranno da noi, o noi dovremo andare da loro; o l'uno o l'altro, è sicuro. Voi giovani non riconoscete l'eccitazione nemmeno quando vi striscia tra i baffi!»”
― Robert Jordan, quote from Crossroads of Twilight
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.
