“These were the names she whispered in the dark.
These were the pieces she brought back into place.
These were the wolves she rode to war.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“Once upon a different time, there was a girl who lived in a kingdom of death. Wolves howled up her arm. A whole pack of them--made of tattoo ink and pain, memory and loss. It was the only thing about her that ever stayed the same.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“The wolves of war are gathering. They sing a song of rotten bones.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“I'm tired of fixing things that always break.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“Her self-reflection was no reflection at all. It was a shattered mirror. Something she had to piece together, over and over again. Memory by memory. Loss by loss. Wolf by wolf.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“So she traced and she named. She hurt and she raged. She remembered.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“The world was not just moving. It was alive.
And it was ready to fight.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“The world is wrong. I'm just doing my part to fix it.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“People were more than crooked type and swastika-stamped documents. No number of bullet points and biography facts could pin the soul behind the eyes.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“Even at their most basic function, needles do two things: They give and they take away.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“There would be no dressing up as a maid. No cyanide slipped into his crystal glass of mineral water. The Fuhrer’s death was to be a loud, screaming thing. A broadcast of blood over the Reichssender.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“Hope. A strange word. In her past, it had been a light, wispy thing. Crushed as easily as a finger under a guard's boot. But now...now hope weighed so much, as if the Colosseum itself had collapsed on top of her. Mortar and suffering. Brick and time.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“The guard grabbed Yael's hand, snapped his pen across her skin in two quick strikes. X marks the survivor.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“She'd been trained to survive many things: starvation and bullet wounds. Winter nights and scouring sun. Double-tied knots and interrogations at knifepoint. But this? A boy's lips on hers. Moving and melding. Soft and strength, velvet and iron. Opposite elements that tugged and tor Yael from the inside. Feelings bloomed, hot and warm. Deep and dark.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“The moreness of him was beginning to show. The way ruins were excavated by an archaeologist. Brushstroke by brushstroke. Bit by bit.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“Yael was a cobweb version, composed of gaps and strings and fragile nothings.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“Yes, Luka Löwe was a National Socialist, but he was different on the inside.”
― Ryan Graudin, quote from Wolf by Wolf
“A different voice slid through the speakers now--his voice. The one that raised armies, toppled kingdoms. The one that sent the entire stadium into a hush. Even the raindrops hung back in the sky; the air cleared into a spitting drizzle." p65”

“Some things just aren't meant to go together. Things like oil and water. Orange juice and toothpaste.”
― Jim Butcher, quote from Death Masks
“That evening she glowed. She gave off a vibration of energy that he suspected only he could detect. Do I do this to you?, he wondered, as he watched her eat. Or is this just the relief of being out from under the forbidden eye of that husband of yours?”
― Jojo Moyes, quote from The Last Letter from Your Lover
“Le anime hanno un loro particolar modo d'intendersi, d'entrare in intimità, fino a darsi del tu, mentre le nostre persone sono tuttavia impacciate nel commercio delle parole comuni, nella schiavitù delle esigenze sociali. Han bisogni lor proprii e le loro proprie aspirazioni le anime, di cui il corpo non si dà per inteso, quando veda l'impossibilità di soddisfarli e di tradurle in atto. E ogni qualvolta due che comunichino fra loro così, con le anime soltanto, si trovano soli in qualche luogo, provano un turbamento angoscioso e quasi una repulsione violenta d'ogni minimo contatto materiale, una sofferenza che li allontana, e che cessa subito, non appena un terzo intervenga. Allora, passata l'angoscia, le due anime sollevate si ricercano e tornano a sorridersi da lontano.”
― Luigi Pirandello, quote from The Late Mattia Pascal
“I propose that if you want a simple step to a higher form of life, as distant from the animal as you can get, then you may have to denarrate, that is, shut down the television set, minimize time spent reading newspapers, ignore the blogs. Train your reasoning abilities to control your decisions; nudge System 1 (the heuristic or experiential system) out of the important ones. Train yourself to spot the difference between the sensational and the empirical. This insulation from the toxicity of the world will have an additional benefit: it will improve your well-being.”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, quote from The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
“Babe, you've destroyed a car, burned down two buildings, stapled a guy's nuts, and you have sixteen stitches in your leg. Take a night off. Have a glass of wine, watch some television, and go to bed early."

Island of the Blue D...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.
