“I always had to buy a book, even if I wasn't done with the one I was currently reading. I loved to read. I felt like the trun of each page echoed between the covers of the world inside them-and each book had its own rules. There, within the mystique of that connection, was something special, and I was an addict.”
― Aaron M. Patterson, quote from Airel: The Awakening
“She stood and looked at James as if he was on clearance at Vanity, which was her favorite store at the moment.”

“So Paley was right in saying not just that Design was a wonderful thing to explain, but also that Design took Intelligence. All he missed—and Darwin provided—was the idea that this Intelligence could be broken into bits so tiny and stupid that they didn’t count as intelligence at all, and then distributed through space and time in a gigantic, connected network of algorithmic process.”
― Daniel C. Dennett, quote from Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life
“She just got out of the hospital. Why don't you go gossip behind her back, like decent people?”
― Rachel Vincent, quote from Before I Wake
“To listen to a poet arguing with himself – for she could scarcely have been said to have borne any part in the discussion – on the merits of blank verse as a dramatic medium was naturally a privilege of which any young lady must be proud, but there could be no denying that to talk for half an hour to a man who listened with interest to anything she said was, if not precisely a relief, certainly a welcome variation in her life.”
― Georgette Heyer, quote from The Grand Sophy
“If you think love means secrecy, then you don’t understand what love is at all.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“con levantar el puño, odiar al que tienen por encima y cantar La Internacional van a arreglar poco; a ritmo de himnos no se cambia un país. Razones para rebelarse, desde luego, tienen de sobra, que aquí hay hambre de siglos y mucha injusticia también, pero eso no se arregla mordiendo la mano de quien te da de comer. Para eso, para modernizar este país, necesitaríamos emprendedores valientes y trabajadores cualificados, una educación en condiciones, y gobiernos serios que duraran en su puesto lo suficiente.”

Hurting DistanceBookQuoters 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.
