Now that is some messed up shit right now.”

“L-am cunoscut pe Ruletist. De acest lucru nu mă pot îndoi. În ciuda faptului că era imposibil ca el să existe, totuşi el a existat. Dar există un loc în lume unde imposibilul e posibil, şi anume în ficţiune, adică în literatură. Acolo legile statisticii pot fi încălcate, acolo poate apărea un om mai puternic decât hazardul. Ruletistul nu putea trăi în lume, ceea ce e un fel de a spune că lumea în care el a trăit este fictivă, este literatură. Nu am nici o îndoială, Ruletistul este un personaj. Dar atunci şi eu sunt un personaj, şi aici nu mă pot opri să nu exult de bucurie. Căci personajele nu mor niciodată, ele trăiesc de câte ori lumea lor e "citită". Dacă nu îşi va săruta niciodată iubita, păstorul pictat pe urna greacă ştie măcar că o va privi veşnic. Iată pariul şi nădejdea mea.”
― Mircea Cărtărescu, quote from Nostalgia
“Her eyes opened then. They were drowsy, slumberous, staring up at him with a hunger that was impossible to miss.
“I felt you,” she whispered, a smile tilting her moist lips. “Watching me. Should I feel you watching me?”
Was she asleep or awake?
“Of course.” He found the growl building in his throat. “Every time I look at you, baby, I touch you.”
― Lora Leigh, quote from Elizabeth's Wolf
“I am becoming used to an overwhelming, grinding mixture of anger and worry...”
― David Sheff, quote from Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction
“Could he be naked beneath his breeches? They
seemed molded to him, outlining the powerful lines of his thighs and the swell just above—
Oh, God. She closed her eyes. She’d been looking at his—Not only was it rude, but it had sent an
amazing tingle through her, almost as if she’d touched it.
“Fiona, if you ever look at me like that again, I will not be held responsible for what I do.” Jack was so
close that she could feel his breath on her temple. “Do you understand?”
― Karen Hawkins, quote from How to Abduct a Highland Lord
“Strange to dream in the right shape and build in the wrong shape, but maybe that is what we do every day, never believing that a dream could tell the truth.”

Under the Banner of...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.
