“Everything is so fragile. There's so much conflict, so much pain...you keep waiting for the dust to settle and then you realize this is it; the dust is your life going on. If happy comes along--that weird, unbearable delight that's actual happy--I think you have to grab it while you can. You take what you can get, 'cause it's here, and then...gone.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“What's plan b?'
'We all die now.'
'What's plan c?”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“I’m assuming you’re as mystified by this as the rest of us, Rasputin.
No. I’m not. I have been planning to destroy the Breakworld since I was a child.
[silence]
This is why I don’t make so many jokes. I never know when is good.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“I object!
What?
Bugger, was that acting?
Is not courtroom, Katya.
Shut up! I'm not good at having two conversations at once. And I hate Scott's plan!
You mean you "object" to it.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“I'd better go before Kitty tries to act again.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“Lies. The great human weapon. Pathetic.
I'd say "pathetic" would be falling for them. Especially Kitty's.”

“What I mean in simple terms, Reverend, is that once the alarm went out, there was niggers everywhere—who were as determined to protect and save their masters as you were to murder them. They was simply livin’ too well!”
― William Styron, quote from The Confessions of Nat Turner
“And so I went through the looking glass, stepped into the netherworld, where up is down and food is greed, where convex mirrors cover the walls, where death is honor and flesh is weak. It is ever so easy to go. Harder to find your way back.”
― Marya Hornbacher, quote from Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia

VenomousBookQuoters 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.
