“Believe nothing others tell you. That is Rule No 1 of life in Astro City.
But what if the ones who set the rules are the ones lying to you?
What if the ones who reprimand the rule-breakers are lying to you?
Who do you believe when there is nobody left to believe?”
― Lisa Alfonso, quote from Believe (Rules, #1)

“…You proved to value love and care
Over the riches of your world
Despite your haughtiness, so rare,
And cruelty and blood, so cold. …
… And you have shown
Your love for him deserves to be
And we return you to your throne,
Vampire Queen you used to be. …”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“You have to realistic about these things.”
― Joe Abercrombie, quote from Last Argument of Kings
“The sky was different, without color, taut and unforgiving. But the water was the most unforgiving thing, nearly black at times, cold enough, I knew, to kill me, violent enough to break me apart. The waves were immense, battering rocky beaches without sand. The farther I went, the more desolate it became, more than any place I'd been, but for this very reason the landscape drew me, claimed me as nothing had in a long time.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, quote from Unaccustomed Earth
“41†So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. The Fellowship of the Believers 42‡†And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43†And awe [4] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44†And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45†And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47†praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

Until YouBookQuoters 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.
