“Scramblers deactivated, then?
Well here's some good news.
You feel no pain.
You will go straight to a hospital. Remember nothing of this place.
And every time you hear the words "parsley", "intractable" or "longitude", you will vomit uncontrollably for forty-eight hours.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 1: Gifted
“How do you know your Colossus is the genuine article in the first place?
I read his mind.
I matched his DNA.
I smelled him.
I also did that.”

“This, children, is Kitty Pryde, who apparently feels the need to make a grand entrance.
I'm sorry. I was busy remembering to put all my clothes on.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 1: Gifted
“Mutants are a community. We're a people and there's no way anybody can make us be what they want. We stick together and don't panic or overreact... you'll see. We're stronger than this.
Miss Pryde... are you a #&$%ing retard?”

“It was like a date - a weird, twisted date that would probably end with them killing something”
― J. Lynn, quote from Unchained
“You're so damn worried about what everyone else wants. Well, you know what, Nick? You're going to disappoint people sometimes. You just are. And you know what else? They're either going to get over it or they're not. If they don't, it sucks. But it's not going to kill them, and it's sure not going to kill you.”
― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Secret

“جهان عشق است و دیگر زرق سازی
همه بازی ست الا عشق بازی
فلک جز عشق محرابی ندارد
جهان بی خاک عشق آبی ندارد
غلام عشق شو اندیشه این است
همه صاحبدلان را پیشه این است
دلی کز عشق خالی شد فسرده ست
گرش صد جان بُوَد بی عشق مرده ست
مبین در عقل کان سلطان جان است
قدم در عشق نه کان جان ِ جان است
ز سوز عشق خوش تر در جهان نیست
که بی او گل نخندید، ابر نگریست
طبایع جز کشش کاری ندارند
حکیمان این کشش را عشق خوانند
گر اندیشه کنی از راه بینش
به عشق است ایستاده آفرینش
چو من بی عشق خود را جان ندیدم
دلی بفروختم، جانی خریدم
کمر بستم به عشق این داستان را
صلای عشق در دادم جهان را”
― Nizami Ganjavi, quote from Layla and Majnun
“Dan was shorter than me, especially as I was wearing sky blue silk stilettos. He appeared to be my age or a few years older,stocky, and thick necked with swirling tattoos just visible beneath the blue collar of his uniform.Dan gave me a plain once over as he walked me to an elevator and placed his palm against a glass screen. The screen retracted to reveal keypad. Dan then punched in a series of numbers and he said- “You’re very big.”I gave him a cursory smile, “Yes. I ate all my vegetables as a child.”

Juliet ImmortalBookQuoters 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.
