It’s a group of souls with whom she resonates closely.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“Apparently, before we are born, each of us experiences a vision of what our life can be, complete with reflections on our parents and our tendencies to engage in particular control dramas, even how we might work through these dramas with these parents and go on to be prepared for what we want to accomplish.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“The reality of the Life Review is becoming part of our every day understanding. We know that after death, we have to look at our lives again; and we’re going to agonize over every missed opportunity, over every case in which we failed to act. This knowledge is contributing to our determination to pursue every intuitive image that comes to mind, and keep it firmly in awareness. We’re living life in a more deliberate way. We don’t want to miss a single important event. We don’t want the pain of looking back later and realizing that we blew it, that we failed to make the right decisions.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“In reality, there are no enemies; we're all souls in growth, waking up”

― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“If history tells us anything, it is that human culture and knowledge are constantly evolving.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision

― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision

― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“Healing in its essence is about breaking through the fears associated with life—fears”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“We’re already living in the information age. Everyone will have to educate themselves the best they can, become an expert in some niche, so that they can be in the right place to advise someone else or perform some other service. The more technical the automation becomes, and the more quickly the world changes, the more we need information from just the right person arriving in our lives at just the right time. You don’t need a formal education to do that; just a niche you’ve created for yourself through self-education.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“We’re cutting corners, maximizing short-term profits”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision

― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“that horrible acts are caused, in part, by our very tendency to assume that some people are naturally evil.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“Only individual opinions are fixed and dogmatic.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision

― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“In a world where the people are numbed and distracted, the only thing that sells is the unbelievable.”

“You misunderstand, Mr. Poe,” the man said, shaking his amazed head at him. “I,” he placed his hand on his chest, at which point Poe noted was unclothed beneath the coat, “do not need her love.” He held that same hand out to her. “I merely needed her… to be loved.” Poe”

“The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).”

“Love can fuck up desire, I’ll agree to that,” I said, and I believed that. If, on the occasions when someone I had sex with remained after orgasm, and an edge of friendship was being suggested to me—as, say, we might lie, though rarely, talking—if, then, at those times, all desire faded.”
― John Rechy, quote from After the Blue Hour
“I thought my entire life was coming apart, but I think I just realized that sometimes the thing you think is going to ruin your life is the thing that saves you.”

The Hunting of the S...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.
