“This is [her] soul group.’
What do you mean?’
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”

“If we stay aware and acknowledge the great mystery that is this life, we will see that we have been perfectly placed, in exactly the right position… to make all the difference in the world.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“the health of the body is determined to a great degree by our mental processes: what we think of life and especially of ourselves, at both the conscious and the unconscious levels.”
― 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
“I could see clearly that this growing belligerence was an aberration, coming not from intention, but from the Fear.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“I could see the two sides hardening, their feelings intensifying, as both began to think the other not just wrong, but hideous, venal... in league with the devil himself.”
― James Redfield, quote from The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
“Because, again, very often your attitude about why an accident or illness has happened has an effect on your recuperation.”
― 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
“creatures smart enough and unlucky enough to have figured out we’re alive, and we’re going to die without ever knowing any purpose. We can pretend all we want and we can wish all we want, but that basic existential fact remains—we can’t know.”
― 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
“because blaming our behavior on forces outside ourselves is a way of avoiding responsibility.”
― 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.”

“Doctor doctor, what do you say, lets put the id back in yid”
― Philip Roth, quote from Portnoy's Complaint
“It was quiet in the cell. Rubashov heard only the creaking of his steps on the tiles. Six and a half steps to the door, whence they must come to fetch him, six and a half steps to the window, behind which night was falling. Soon it would be over. But when he asked himself, For what actually are you dying? he found no answer.
It was a mistake in the system; perhaps it lay in the precept which until now he had held to be uncontestable, in whose name he had sacrificed others and was himself being sacrificed: in the precept, that the end justifies the means. It was this sentence which had killed the great fraternity of the Revolution and made them run amuck. What had he once written in his diary? "We have thrown overboard all conventions, our sole guiding principle is that of consequent logic; we are sailing without ethical ballast.”
― Arthur Koestler, quote from Darkness at Noon
“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”

“Happy roads is bunk. Weary roads is right. Get you nowhere fast. That's where I've got—nowhere. Where everyone lands in the end, even if most of the suckers won't admit it.”
― Eugene O'Neill, quote from Long Day's Journey Into Night
“Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears.
We are blessed.
Let them all go.
The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me.
Moments.
All gathering towards this one.”
― Jenny Downham, quote from Before I Die

Enemies: A Love Stor...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.
