“It's the way we deal with what Fate hands us that defines who we are.”
― Lisa Graff, quote from A Tangle of Knots
“Life is the grandest adventure one can go on, isn't it?' said the giant kindly (he seemed to be a very friendly giant). 'What else could a person ask for than just to be alive?'
Will knew exactly what else a person could ask for. 'Monsters,' he said. 'And cake.”
― Lisa Graff, quote from A Tangle of Knots
“There's no controlling what Fate hands you...and in my experience, it rarely seem to give you exactly what you need at the exact moment you need it. ...Just remember this, it's the way we deal with what Fate hands us that defines who we are”
― Lisa Graff, quote from A Tangle of Knots
“And every one of these days, from dawn to dusk, has been more or less the same. Far from grand but not too horrible, either, like a pebble underneath your sock that’s not quite large enough to bother removing.”
― Lisa Graff, quote from A Tangle of Knots
“Just remember this. It’s the way we deal with what Fate hands us that defines who we are.”

“Trying hard and being a good person didn't always mean good things would happen to you. But it did mean that others might try on your behalf.”

“Did Anna also, sometimes not know what to do next? Because she knew what to do next, because she knew what to laugh at, what to say, did it always follow that she knew where to turn? Inside everyone, is there an anxious person who stands to hesitate in an empty room?”

“What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
"I don't know, Em." Bryan takes a gulp from his water bottle. "It's a bit slutty, isn't it?"
I stare pointedly at the FHM poster Blu-Tacked on the wall opposite the bed, of some topless model, one finger in her mouth, the other hand reaching into her knickers.

“zweites Leben begann etwa zehn Stunden später, als ich im grellen Licht des Krankenzimmers erwachte – mit einer großen Kopfwunde und einer Vergangenheit, an die ich keinerlei Erinnerung besaß. Dass Freunde und Verwandte mein Bett umringten, hätte es mir eigentlich erleichtern sollen, half aber nichts, weil einer aus dieser”

Souls UnfracturedBookQuoters 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.
