“There is one power in the Universe and we can all use it.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Electricity was a reality in the universe when Moses led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. This is true of all natural laws; they have always existed but only when understood may they be used.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Does this thing I wish to do express more life, more happiness, more peace to myself, and at the same time harm no one? If it does, it is right. It is not selfish.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“The road to freedom lies, not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of Nature's forces and laws. The Law of Mind is a natural law in the spiritual world.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“There should not be any sense of hurry or worry about this, just a calm, peaceful sense of reality. Let the Law work though, and express Itself in, the experience.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“As he learns the Truth, the Truth will automatically free him.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Let us waste no further time looking for the secret of success or the key to happiness. Already the door is open and whosoever will may enter.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“It should be considered right to live and enjoy living. To be well, happy, and to express freedom, is to be in accord with Divine Law and Wisdom.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Love rules through Law. Love is the Divine Givingness; Law is the Way. Love is spontaneous; Law is impersonal...Love points the way and Law makes the way possible.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“The more power one gives to his thought--the more completely he believes that his thought has power--the more power will it have.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“The principle of any science is invisible, theoretical, as is our idea of Spirit. No one has seen God; no one has seen Life; what we have seen is the manifestation of Life. No one has seen Intelligence; we experience it. No one has ever seen Causation; we can see what It does, we deal with Its effects. We do not see Beauty. The artist feels beauty and depicts it as best he can, and the result of his effort is what we call the beautiful...We do not see Life, we experience living. Causation is invisible.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“All law must be subjective; the soil knows how to take a seed and make a plant from it; it does not know whether it is making a tomato or a potato...It knows how to create without knowing what It creates.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“If one sees only unloveliness in others, it is because unloveliness is a strong element in himself. The light he throws on others is generated in his own soul and sees them as he chooses to see them.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“There is no limit to the Law, but there appears to be a limit to man's understanding of It.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Anything that will enable us to express greater life, greater happiness, greater power--so long as it does not harm anyone--must be the Will of God for us.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“[A definite statement] is an active, conscious, aggressive, mental movement and in such degree as it embodies an idea--and there is no longer anything in our minds which denies the idea--it will take form, because it now becomes a part of the low and order of the Universe in which we live.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Nature operates according to a law of logical sequence.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“No man can demonstrate peace and cling to unhappiness.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“We both look up as Katherine, Connor, and Dad enter the kitchen. Kiernan tries to be polite and stand, but I’m on the outside of the bench, and the table has him wedged in, so the most he can manage is a half crouch, which looks terribly uncomfortable.
I grab the back of his shirt and tug him back down to the bench. “Dad, Connor, this is Kiernan. Katherine, you’ve already met.”
“He’s changed quite a bit in the past thirteen years, however,” she says. “And I suspect that I’ve changed even more in the past five decades.”
Kiernan returns her smile. “It’s good to see you again.”
Dad steps forward and shakes Kiernan’s hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“My privilege, Mr. Keller.”
“It’s Harry, please. You saved my daughter’s life, so I think we can dispense with the formalities.”
I’ve rarely seen Kiernan blush, but he does now, and then he nods. “Harry, then. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
Connor follows Dad’s lead and steps forward to take Kiernan’s hand. “I’m Connor Dunne. And you can call me Mr. Dunne.”
There’s a slight twinkle in Connor’s eye, so I think he’s joking. But whether he meant it that way or not, Kiernan laughs.
“The hell I will, sonny boy. You need to show your elders the proper respect, or I’ll take you behind the barn and give you a good strapping.”
Connor snorts. “No barn, and I’d love to see you try.”
― Rysa Walker, quote from Time's Edge
“Do you still have the tux you wore as Boudini?”
“It’s in the loft at the cabin. Why?”
“You’ll need it in order to pose as a server. Unless you’d rather be a male companion?”
“No thanks.”
An evil little part of me is dying to say he has more experience as a companion, given his time with Prudence, but I bat it down.”
― Rysa Walker, quote from Time's Divide
“It was a strange, wonderful feeling. To discover eyes upon you when you expected no one to notice you at all.”
― Rita Williams-Garcia, quote from One Crazy Summer
“The Lawrence campaign keeps dropping by. They want us to endorse the president.” “You should,” I muttered. “Kate!” She made a sound like she was punching me through the phone. “Shut up, you know we’re not doing that. Mom and Papi love your dad, especially now. It’s not like he did anything to hurt us.” “He didn’t do anything to help either.” “Yeah, he did,” she said. “That day at our house. He listened.”
― Jenn Marie Thorne, quote from The Wrong Side of Right
“Mr. S was finally retiring this year, which was a good thing, because he appeared to have run out of shits to give sometime in the previous century.”

Amy & Roger's Epic D...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.
