“You think you're lost but you're not lost on your own. You're not alone. I will stand by you, I will help you through when you’ve done all you can do. If you can’t cope, I will dry your eyes. I will fight your fight, I will hold you tight and I won't let go.”
― Heather C. Leigh, quote from Absolutely Famous
“Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead. —Someone Like You by Adele”

“My boyfriend, always hot-tempered and quick with the fists.”
― Heather C. Leigh, quote from Absolutely Famous
“We circled around and came in from the northwest.” I lifted my wrist to show him the compass on my watch band, although I hoped that, being the pilot, he knew we’d approached from the northwest. “I was looking out the window. I saw a woman running down the street. There was a pack of dogs after her and a guy with a switchblade down the street in the direction she was running.”
“Ma’am,” he said, still very patiently. I reached out and took a fistful of his shirt. Actually, at the last moment, I grabbed the air in front of his shirt. I didn’t think security could throw me out of the airport for grabbing air in a threatening fashion, not even in this post-9/11 age.
“Don’t ma’am me . . .”
― C.E. Murphy, quote from Urban Shaman
“The fire that hollows us out is what allows us to be filled with strength and power where before there was none.”
― Morgan Rhodes, quote from Crystal Storm
“When God gave Eve to Adam, he was giving him a helper, not a conscience. Adam already had a conscience before his wife was created.”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“نحن لا نعرف سوى القليل جداً عن الروح الإنسانية. ولا نعرف ما الذي يحدث عندما يولد الإنسان أو عندما يموت. كما أنّنا لا نفهم علاقة الإنسان بالزمان والمكان.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“We learned that indecision is a decision, that inaction has a cost all its own. Good commanders act and create opportunities. Great commanders ruthlessly exploit those opportunities”

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.
