“I can kill with a single word. I can hurl a ball of fire into the midst of my enemies. I rule a squadron of skeletal warriors, who can destroy by touch alone. I can raise a wall of ice to protect those I serve. The invisible is discernible to my eyes. Ordinary magic spells crumble in my presence... But I bow in the presence of a master.
-- Lord Soth to Raistlin Majere”
― Margaret Weis, quote from Time of the Twins
“Rule the world," Raistlin repeated softly, his eyes burning. "Rule the world? You still don't undestand, do you, my dear sister? Let me make this as plain as I know how." Now it was his turn to stand up. Pressing his thin hands upon the desk, he leaned towards her, like a snake.
"I don't give damn about the world!" he said softly. "I could rule it tomorrow, if I wanted it! I don't.”
― Margaret Weis, quote from Time of the Twins
“Do not go to others for the answers. Look in your own heart, search your own faith. You will either find the answer or come to see that the answer is with the gods themselves, not with man.”
― Margaret Weis, quote from Time of the Twins
“It was an old kender proverb—Don’t change color to match the walls. Look like you belong and the walls will change color to match you.”

“Don’t change color to match the walls. Look like you belong and the walls will change color to match you.”

“The loincloth, too, was ornamented in gold and barely covered his private parts decently.”

“Now, before you go, you repeat for me what it is you will say if that murdering thief comes to seduce you with his so-handsome face."
"Rene, Drake isn't going to—"
"Repeat it!"
"Chat echaude craint I'eau froide," I dutifully repeated. (It meant "A cat washed with hot water fears cold water," which evidently was the French way of saying once burned, twice shy.)
"You forgot to add the sneer to tell him you are so high above him. That is very important. Ah, well, you are improving.Bonne chance, Aisling. If you need me, call. I will come."
"Thanks.”

“I don't have any kids, so I'm not as worried about my heirs as the rest of you, but still: I think the youth of tomorrow might be better off if they knew the physical sensation of cracking a spine and turning the page.”

“It was the over-stallion’s right either to protect or destroy the rare colt, who some pegasi viewed as dangerous and others viewed as extraordinary. This century’s guardian herd was Sun Herd, and the over-stallion, Thunderwing, viewed Star as dangerous. Thunderwing didn’t believe any one pegasus should wield so much power and vowed to end Star’s life on his birthday.”

“You tasted like fire
And I miss that.
So, at times
I drank a little.
And at times,
I drank too much.
But I only drank
Till it burned me enough.”

BlachartBookQuoters 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.
