“When you run out of hope, everything is backwards. Your heart wants the opposite of what it needs.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“That doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The Shining Isle exists as surely as the floor you’re standing on. It may be hard to believe, but it’s real, I tell you. Sometimes in the middle of the night, the sun can seem like it was only ever a dream. We need something to remind us that it still exists, even if we can’t see it. We need something beautiful hanging in the dark sky to remind us there is such a thing as daylight. Sometimes, Queen Sara”—Armulyn strummed his whistleharp— “music is the moon.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“Love runs stronger than blood. Deeper than any name you could give me." - Maraly”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“Beautiful.” “And scary,” Sara said. “It’s not scary at all,” said Artham with a laugh. He ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped. The others gasped and then fell into nervous laughter as he spread his wings and soared out over the water.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“And it’s been so long since most of our boys have sailed they hardly know a poop deck from a chamber pot!”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King



“It was as if a strand connected that day with this one and the Maker's pleasure was coursing through it like blood in a vein.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“So once someone remembers their true name, they’re cured?” Janner asked. “I wish it were so. We all forget from time to time, and so we need each other to tell us our stories. Sometimes a story is the only way back from the darkness.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“There's more to healing than what the eye can see.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King

About BookQuoters

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.
