“Becoming the observer (step back) you begin to live in process, trusting where our source is taking you. You begin to detach from the outcome. That detachment allows you to stop fighting and allows things to just come to you; you no longer make things happen but allow them to show up. The fight is gone!”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“I don’t believe that God is concerned with whether or not we show our love by building magnificent edifices for worship, by attending services, or through practicing rules laid down by religious organizations. It seems to me that if God were to speak to us, the message would simply be to love each other and offer reverence rather than enmity toward all of life.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“You get to a place where you begin to be guided by something greater than yourself. You stop fighting and striving (indeed the need to expend this type of energy is often a strong indicator that you are not in flow and where you are meant to be) and instead, surrender to your higher purpose and be guided from there, allowing things to happen, trusting in source, focusing on your why and letting go of the how...”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“As Jesus put it, “Even the least among you can do all that I have done and even greater things,” and, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?” (John 10:34).”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“Once what you are doing has for you meaning, it is irrelevant whether you’re happy or unhappy. You are content—you are not alone in your Spirit—you belong.1”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“My conclusion about my origination is that I came from Spirit, and my true essence is that I am what I came from. I am a Divine piece of God. I am first and always a spiritual being inextricably connected to my Source of being.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“When approval-seeking is the guiding principle of life, it’s virtually impossible to achieve a loving relationship with another human being.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“Is not it interesting that you had everything you needed in the first nine months, why is not that true for the next ninety years, because we interfere.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“Synchronicity, it is like a collaboration with fate. All of that becomes the norm when the EGO (edge God out) is no longer the driving force in your life.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“The memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is conflict; for a mind at war against itself remembers not eternal gentleness. . . . What you remember is a part of you. For you must be as God created you. . . . Let all this madness be undone for you, and turn in peace of the remembrance of God, still shining in your quiet mind.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning
“We are all essentially spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. This is our essence. This is where we come from.”

“Never before had she seen such creatures, though they looked much live very large, very shaggy white goats. Thin black horns punctuated the top of their long faces.
You look like a collection of grandfathers, she thought, amused.”
― Tamora Pierce, quote from Daja's Book
“There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world-its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. Everything else is fun and games. If an activity is not grounded in "to love" or "to learn," it does not have value. - Zurvan”
― Anne Rice, quote from Servant of the Bones
“I think you would like Warren. He drinks Courvoisier in a Coke can, and has a laugh like you'd find in a cartoon bubble.”
― Amy Hempel, quote from The Collected Stories
“The night breathed through the apartment like a dark animal. The ticking of a clock. The groan of a floorboard as he slipped out of his room. All was drowned by its silence. But Jacob loved the night. He felt it on his skin like a promise. Like a cloak woven from freedom and danger.”
― Cornelia Funke, quote from Reckless
“Melletin jumped up on a barrel beside Ramil. "Brigardians, are you with the Dark Prince?"
"Aye!" shouted his countrymen.
"What about you other men?" Ramil asked, looking across the crowd of faces drawn from all parts of the Empire.
The slave who had challenged him took one look at Yelena, then raised his hand. "I'm in. It seems you might know what you're doing after all."
Ramil grinned. "I can't promise that--but I can promise that I'll buy you a drink if we're still alive by the end of tomorrow!”

The Innocent Man: Mu...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.
