“Mithorden:
I would rather live than die. I would rather die than survive as a monster.”
― Robert Fanney, quote from The War of Mists
“The wolf was not far away. After only a short time, he crested a nearby hill. His eyes blazing yellow fire. Fierce. For his mistress called. There she knelt. Queenly and yet so wild. Arrow set to bow - spilling out a bloody light.
At the sight of her, passion filled him. It rose in his gut, swelled his chest, then burst out of his throat. It overwhelmed the air and beat against the starry roof. The howl filled the mounds, rang out through the Vale and then rolled into Minonowe.
She had called him and here was his answer.
The spiders were out there. Running. With Luthiel, he would hunt them.”
― Robert Fanney, quote from The War of Mists
“When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.”
― Ellen DeGeneres, quote from Seriously... I'm Kidding
“I remember everything about you and I remember all the reasons why I loved you. Never could forget even when I tried.”
..
“Who knows, baby? We had all that time together, I coulda got used to it, learned to take it for granted.” His arms gave me a squeeze. “Now, that’ll never happen”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from For You
“Even a child with normal feet was in love with the world after he had got a new pair of shoes.”
― Flannery O'Connor, quote from Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories
“Crowfeather: Leafpool, I know you feel the same as I do. Somehow we have to be together.
Leafpool: But I'm a medicine cat, and I'm from another clan. There isn't any future for us Crowfeather.
Crowfeather: Leafpool, do you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you?
Leafpool: Yes, I do.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Twilight
“This is stupid, Kate. I love you. I want to be with you. Today, tomorrow, always. And I know you love me. Tell me I’m wrong about you, about why you left me. Tell me you don’t love me.”
― Cindy C. Bennett, quote from Heart on a Chain
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.
