“But I gotta say, I am so proud right now.” Axel flattened his hand over his heart. “You borrowed my patented move, proving I’m made of more than awesome. I’m awesalicious. Is that a word? It’s probably a girl word, but who cares! Seriously. Do you see a tear in my eye? Because I’m pretty sure I feel one.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened

“Why did the warrior cross the road? [Koldo]
That’s easy. To kill the guy on the other side. [Nicola]
A bud of amusement had her smiling.
Knock, knock. [Koldo]
Who’s there? [Nicola]
Donut.
Donut who?
Donut run from me, puny girl.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“Words were one of the most powerful forces known— or unknown— to man. The Most High had created this world with His words. And humans, who had been fashioned in His image, could direct the entire course of their lives with their words, their mouths as the rudder on a ship, as the bridle on a horse. They produced with their words. They destroyed with their words.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“Words without action mean nothing. I’ll show you.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“You speak what you believe, and you believe you’re doomed. If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout the years, it’s that what you believe is the impetus for your entire life.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“The doors closed, sealing her inside with him. I don’t judge by outward appearance. I really do not judge by outward appearance. But oh, wow, wow, wow, he had to be a time-traveling Viking sent here to abduct modern women to give to his men back home—because they’d killed all the women in their village.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“I’ll catch fire, turn to ash and re-form... I’ll be stronger... and you’ll be forever mine.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened

― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“If words are the power of life and death, you just pointed a loaded gun at your head.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“The words we speak are important, powerful, and since names are spoken every day, directed at specific individuals, people often become what they are called. I like to know who I’m dealing with.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Beauty Awakened
“I may not be a doctor, but I've watched every episode of House. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.”

Little StarsBookQuoters 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.
