“It’s funny how we always search for reasons not to love—fear of suffering, fear of abandonment—but the love of life, oh, how much you can take for granted until you realize that, one day, you’re going to lose all of it.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“„Vidiš“, reče on sjedajući, „to je čudno, ali pronalazimo svakojake
razloge ne bismo li spriječili sebe da volimo, zato što se plašimo da
ćemo patiti, da ćemo jednog dana biti ostavljeni. Volimo, međutim,
život, iako znamo da će nas on jednog dana napustiti.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“"Nada podrá sustituir nunca el contacto humano”

najuzbudljivije.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“Već sam ti rekao da prestaneš da se bojiš riječi. Važno

“I gave up pouring my heart out to his personal assistant a long time ago. Talking to the man himself is damn near impossible. Always on a business trip or in a meeting. No way he’d make time for his daughter.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“Sharing your life with someone for whom your feelings are shaky at best—how can that be anything but a lie, a betrayal? Do you have even the faintest notion of what life looks like when the person you’re with treats you like a stranger?”

“Why didn't you dare it before?" he asked harshly. "When I hadn't a job? When I was starving? When I was just as I am now, as a man, as an artist, the same Martin Eden?”
― Jack London, quote from Martin Eden
“But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.
The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”
― Paulo Coelho, quote from By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
“Hot or not, there went my tenuous grip on my temper. 'I don't need you looking out for what's best for me, Aiden. I'm not a child!'
His eyes narrowed. 'I of all people know you're not a child, Alex. And I sure as hell didn't treat you like one last night.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Deity
“Did I ever say an engagement was an elephant, madam?”
― Elizabeth Gaskell, quote from Wives and Daughters
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.
