“I’M SO GLAD you’re not dumb, Yaz,” Neela said. Yazeed shot her a sidelong glace. “I thought you were going to say dead.” “That, too.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, quote from Rogue Wave
“Hierdoor duurde het even voor ik doorzag wat de Hollanders zelf allang wisten, dat tolerantie iets anders is dan acceptatie, ja eerder het tegenovergestelde, en dat zulke verdraagzaamheid tegelijk een slim middel tot onderdrukking is. Iemand die je als gelijke aanneemt, omarm je onvoorwaardelijk, voor eens en altijd. Maar door iemand te laten weten dat je hem verdraagt, suggereer je in dezelfde adem dat hij eigenlijk een last is, als een zeurende pijn of een onaangename stank waarover je bereid bent tijdelijk heen te stappen. Onder tolerantie schuilt een dreiging: de stemming kan ieder moment omslaan. Eenmaal in kaart gebracht wordt ieder individu geacht keurig op zijn plek te blijven met een goed leesbaar etiket, als vergiften in een apothekerskast.”
― Arthur Japin, quote from In Lucia's Eyes
“Alec raised his eyebrows and looked very confused. "Wait. They don't mean it's okay, and that I don’t have to worry about it? Why would they say that if they don't mean it?" Nico shrugged. "I think it's some sort of mind trick. They use that sentence as an illusion that things between you are okay, but when you least expect it, they will strike like a cobra and wound your soul.”
― L.A. Casey, quote from Alec
“Sometimes, though, you could do the right thing and still feel sick with doubt.”

Keys to the Demon Pr...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.
