Quotes from Vision in Silver

“For now, he and Meg were going to have the adventure of seeing a new place and having a new experience. Together.

― Anne Bishop, quote from Vision in Silver

“This is Ruthie Stuart, Officer Kowalski’s mate. She will show your pups around the Market Square,” Simon said.
Sarah giggled. Robert said, “We’re not pups; we’re kids.”
Simon looked at Robert and Sarah, then at Ruthie.
Kids. He’d heard Merri Lee say something about when she was a kid. But the word didn’t apply to her now because she was an adult, so it had never occurred to him that, maybe, humans had a little shifter ability that they outgrew as they matured. When she had said kid, maybe she had meant kid?
He eyed Robert and Sarah with more interest. “Little humans can shift into young goats?”
― Anne Bishop, quote from Vision in Silver

― Anne Bishop, quote from Vision in Silver

“If you believe some of the old stories, earth natives have been around in one form or another since the beginning of the world. They were the top predators then and they’re the top predators now because they change as the world changes, absorbing qualities from new species of predators without losing the essence of what they are.”
― Anne Bishop, quote from Vision in Silver

― Anne Bishop, quote from Vision in Silver

“He waited until they were driving to work before he mentioned the morning field trip. “Why do a field trip?” Meg asked. “Because someone untied its shoes?” Meg frowned. “That makes no sense.” “It makes as much sense as most human jokes.” “That’s true.” Simon”
― Anne Bishop, quote from Vision in Silver

“Earth natives didn’t absorb everything from the forms they had chosen over the long years the sun had risen and set over Namid. They were first and always terra indigene. But they learned from the predators they became, and certain traits were passed down to the young of each form. Yes,”

“En cuanto a mí, aprendí una gran
lección con aquella victoria. Una lección
que Toni me había estado taladrando
desde hacía años, pero que hasta entonces
no había comprendido cuánto era cierta.
Aprendí que hay que perseverar siempre,
que por muy remotas que parezcan las
probabilidades de ganar, hay que pujar
hasta el límite de las propias fuerzas y
probar suerte. Aquel día en Melbourne me
di cuenta, con más claridad que nunca, de
que la clave de este deporte se encuentra
en la mente; y si se tiene la mente
despejada y fuerte, se puede vencer casi
cualquier obstáculo, incluido el dolor. La
mente pude vencer a la materia.”
― quote from Rafa

“How can you trust a God Who took away your parents?” Her gaze fell. “This life isn’t perfect, and there are things that happen, bad things, set into motion by people who make really bad choices. God does not alter the physical laws of this world. If velocity says a car traveling at this speed hits another at that speed, there are consequences to that impact. God allows the laws here to work so that we can live our lives. Otherwise, if the law of gravity worked sometimes and not others, we couldn’t even walk out of our house because we might float off the planet.” She paused and then shook her head. “But there’s more to it than that. God can take anything, anything and use it to teach us, to strengthen us, to guide us—if we let Him.”
― Staci Stallings, quote from Deep in the Heart

“He is twenty-eight years old, and to the best of his knowledge he has no ambitions. No burning ambitions, in any case, no clear idea of what building a plausible future might entail for him.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Sunset Park

“Why don't we want our children to learn to do mathematics? Is it that we don't trust them, that we think it's too hard? We seem to feel that they are capable of making arguments and coming to their own conclusions about Napoleon. Why not about triangles?”
― Paul Lockhart, quote from A Mathematician's Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form

“A lot of what we're doing here deals with perception rather than truth. Many would argue that reality depends more on the former than the latter.”
― Carrie Vaughn, quote from Kitty's House of Horrors

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.
