“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”

života, briše ono što je nezanimljivo i čuva samo ono najljepše i
najuzbudljivije.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“Već sam ti rekao da prestaneš da se bojiš riječi. Važno

― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“Hay sólo dos maneras de ver la vida: una como si nada fuera un milagro y la otra como si todo fuera milagroso.”

― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“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?”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said

― Nelson DeMille, quote from Plum Island
“Bristol-Meyers Squibb has reported success with monatomic ruthenium to correct cancer cells. Same with platinum and iridium, according to Platinum Metals Review. These atoms actually make the DNA strand correct itself, rebuilding without drugs or radiation. Iridium has been shown to stimulate the pineal gland and appears to fire up ‘junk DNA,’ leading to the possibility of increased longevity and reopening aging pathways in the brain.”
― James Rollins, quote from Map of Bones
“Sure she would want that again—tenderness compassion
slow erotic lovemaking—but not tonight. Tonight she wanted
to experience her transformation she wanted to test the limits of her new body to soar to new heights of pleasure.
She wanted her Alpha male.
And she wanted him now.”
― Tessa Dawn, quote from Blood Destiny
“Ah, you may sit under them, yes. They cast a good shadow, cold as well-water; but that's the trouble, they tempt you to sleep. And you must never, for any reason, sleep beneath a cypress.' He paused, stroked his moustache, waited for me to ask why, and then went on: 'Why? Why? Because if you did you would be changed when you woke. Yes, the black cypresses, they are dangerous. While you sleep, their roots grow into your brains and steal them, and when you wake up you are mad, head as empty as a whistle.' I asked whether it was only the cypress that could do that or did it apply to other trees. 'No, only the cypress,' said the old man, peering up fiercely at the trees above me as though to see whether they were listening; 'only the cypress is the thief of intelligence. So be warned, little lord, and don't sleep here.”
― Gerald Durrell, quote from My Family and Other Animals
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.
