“We cry in our own rooms, remembering a man who will never be here again.The house creaks. Maybe it feels the weight of our grief, maybe the floorboards are buckling because the burden is too heavy.”
― Rochelle Maya Callen, quote from Ashes and Ice
“Love is a sliver of sunlight peeking through the darkness; a whisper of hope when all is lost.”

Now that is some messed up shit right now.”

“Never liked Kolanos. Was at a feast with him one time. Never heard him fart at all. Can't trust a man who doesn't fart at a feast.”
― David Gemmell, quote from Lord of the Silver Bow
“Oh boy. I do have a question.”
“Hit me,” Breeze smiled. “That is slang.” The smile died. “Don’t really hit me though. You couldn’t hurt me but I might hit you back and that would injure you.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Fury
“То и аз самият възприемах вече нещата по друг начин, бях започнал сам да се шегувам със себе си, за нищо вече не се нуждаех от никого. Присъствието на хора ми тежеше, чувствах, че накрая ще почна да си говоря сам със себе си, и че това ще бъде моят най-мил и най-приятен събеседник, този мой втори аз, мой насърчител и мой възпитател в самия мен, с когато вече все по-често и с все по-голямо удоволствие подхващах разговор. Вероятно това стана и под влияние на всичко чуто от професора, който надминаваше себе си в ругатните, ни един каруцар не можеше да се мери с него, така да ругае и коне, и хора, както ругаеше професорът по френска литература и естетика… като при това не спираше да ни разказва за всичко, което интересуваше и самия него, говореше през цялата вечер, още докато отворя вратата, та чак докато заспи, докато всички заспим, до последния миг разказваше що е то естетика, що е етика, за философите и философията.”
― Bohumil Hrabal, quote from I Served the King of England

Friday Night BitesBookQuoters 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.
