“I'm totally cool. I'm totally calm, and I'm totally cool. My calm is exceeded only by my cool. Which is total. Here we go.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn
“There's so much you thought you could never face. The decision not to try to control your power, to let it be your demon. Too shameful to remember, so you let it eat your life up instead. But you're past it now, Scott. And all you had to defeat, all you had to let go of...was you. You're free, my love. You're free.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn
“Are you all right?"
"Oh my god! I phased!"
"Are you all right?"
"Are you?"
"It was strange."

"I like to think so, yes."
"Tee hee.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn
“All right, Emma. You brought me in. You made your move. Just like I knew you would. A nice move. Now it's my turn.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn
“I'm sorry. But it's like you said, Emma...I don't have any claws.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn

Nomad: From Islam to...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.
