I shook my head. "I'm happy sitting here next to you."

About the author

Popular quotes

“There are almost no characters in this story, and almost no dramatic confrontations, because most of the people in it are so sick and so much the listless playthings of enormous forces. One of the main effects of war, after all, is that people are discouraged from being characters.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, quote from Slaughterhouse-five: The Children's Crusade, A Duty-dance with Death

“As he got older, Billy suspected, he would, Dicaprio-like, simply become like an increasingly wizened child.”
― China Miéville, quote from Kraken

“Wait!” Juliet pulls away from her father, and once again, she’s breathless and looking up at me. “Declan.”

I hold myself at a distance. The spell is broken. “Juliet.”

She closes that distance, though, and then does one better. She grabs the front of my shirt and pulls me forward. For half a second, my brain explodes because I think we’re going to have a movie moment and she’s going to kiss me. And then it’s going to be super awkward because of her father.

But no, she’s only pulling me close to whisper. Her breath is warm on my cheek, sweet and perfect.

“We were wrong,” she says. “You make your own path.”

Then she spins, grabs her father’s hand, and leaves me there in the middle of the cemetery.”
― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Letters to the Lost

“فلماذا اذن يجب ان اصغي الى قلبي؟
لأنك لن تنجح في اسكاته ابدا و حتى لو تظاهرت بانك لا تسمع ما يقول فسيظل هناك في صدرك و لن يكف عن ترداد ما يعتقده عن الحياة و العالم”
― Paulo Coelho, quote from Alkimist

“that great condenser of moral chaos, The City.”
― Robert Hughes, quote from The Shock of the New

About BookQuoters

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.
