“We will move forward as one, and in time, rise like sparks beyond the night.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“But we are stronger for what's happened to us. I am stronger, even if I couldn't see it at first. We have been given the gift of understanding that we can come through struggle and pain. We have built new families in place of the ones that cast us out. We have learned that life is one journey, and the purpose is not to reach some treasure at the end of it, but to find the courage to decide which paths to take, who to travel with, and to let things fall into place as they should and will.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“You want to know the real reason they never let us touch or talk to each other if they could help it? It made us strong. If you have people who love you, you can fall back on them when you're afraid.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“Of course. My girl? She's incredible.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“The spectrum of her emotions consisted only of calm and terror. She came back to us in full color.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“I love you." It's our beginning, our middle, and one day--please God, a long way from here--our end. And It is the truth.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“We have learned that life is one journey, and the purpose is not to reach some treasure at the end of it, but to find the courage to decide which paths to take, who to travel with, and to let things fall into place as they should and will.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“A part of me wonders if it's not what she went through that has shaped her into something so solid and strong, but the people who went through it with her.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“Home isn’t four walls, it’s the people you’re with.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“One day we will ignite and create a blaze that no one can put out, ignore, hurt. We will move forward as one, and in time, rise like sparks beyond the night.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“His brother's dream is here, alive. It has survived death and destruction; it hasn't blown away with the ash that settles after his fire was put out. It will go on.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“Starting now, I'm leaving the past alone in the past.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“There are tests, but there are also small mercies. Life tossed us up into the air, scattered us, and we all somehow found our way back. And we will do it again.
And again.
And again.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“Crazy is only crazy when it works.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“But I guess what I mean is, being afraid can't be a reason for us not to do something now...'
'Our voice will only get louder the more of us we bring together.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Through the Dark
“I feel like I've been swept up and dropped on my head in a world that looks like mine but is slightly different. Brighter, more vibrant — or at least missing some of the dust and grime that's collected over our lives after years of neglect. I can't tell which direction is right or wrong anymore, but I know I want to stay.”

The ChillBookQuoters 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.
