Topic : Quotes in the Books

Forum Search Tips Close

Basics

  1. Search syntax is similar to Google searches.
  2. Words shorter than 4 characters are ignored.
  3. Searches are NOT case-sensitive.
  4. Automatic 'and' queries: The search will only return pages that include all of your search terms.
  5. Only the body of the post is searched by default. Use the Advanced search to also search by subject.
  6. Word variation/stemming is currently not supported. For example, if you search for acting or acted, the search will not return results for act.

Phrase Searches

Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. E.g. "cool video games"

Negative Terms

If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music: bass -music

    I just love that Ann puts all of these quotes in her books. It makes them seem really personal because she takes the time to find funny and sometimes inspirational quotes that have to do with each chapter. What do y'all think?

    I love love the quotes. You get an overview of what's happening, and then you think about its meaning to the chapter. Makes the chapter deeper and significant. =)

    I really love how Ann puts the quotes at the end of each chapter. I agree, it makes the chapters so much deeper and significant. My favourite quote is "If it weren't for time, everything would happen all at once" I can't remember who said but I think it was in the first book. That quote really made me think, because it is so true! Without time, the worl would have been created, everything would have happened at once, you would have been born,died, and the world would have ended all at the same time.  Either that, or nothing would have happened at all...

    I love the quotes. Gives you a glimpse of what the following chapter is about. When I was reading the books, I would read the quote and before reading the next chapter, I would think about it's possible meaning and what Ann wanted us to get from it...because they weren't put there by accident, but for purpose. I love those quotes. I have favorite ones in all four books. It was a genius idea!
