About the author

Popular quotes

“Teague turns to me, his eyes wide as if to say, Let’s go!
Why not! I shrug, and smile and tie my bulky parka around my waist, tuck my gloves into the sleeve, and slip my hand back around Teague’s, pinching myself that his hand is actually still there, where I left it, waiting for me.
We walk onto the makeshift plywood dance floor together, weaving ourselves, our bodies, into the mayhem.
Teague is flawless. A pro.
I’m stiff as a board, and I think too much.
But my Boy Wonder is a patron saint.
He leans in close. “You’re doing great!” he says, his lips brushing against my ear, thank you very much.
He twirls me.
He holds me up.
He looks into my eyes.
Yes, I think I could quite possibly just lie down and die.
I am boosted by his confidence. His spirit. The way he doesn’t seem to care what other people think.
And then this miraculous thing happens.
As we dance--
I tilt my head back and soak it in.
The magic, the unfiltered joy.
I finally just--
Let go.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace

“We do so much, we run so quickly, the situation is difficult, and many people say, "Don't just sit there, do something." But doing more things may make the situation worse. So you should say, "Don't just do something, sit there." Sit there, stop, be yourself first, and begin from there.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, quote from Being Peace

“I cannot stress enough the perils of your friends marrying or becoming court inventors. One day you are all a society of outlaws, adventurous comrades and companions who will be pushing off somewhere or other when things become tiresome; you have all the world to choose from, just by looking at the map… And then, suddenly, they’re not interested any more. They want to keep warm. They’re afraid of rain. They start collecting big things that can’t fit in a rucksack. They talk only of small things. They don’t like to make sudden decisions and do something contrariwise. Formerly they hoisted sail; now they carpenter little shelves for porcelain mugs.”
― Tove Jansson, quote from Moominpappa's Memoirs

“Hence it is predicated chiefly of the virtuous; then of the pleasant; and lastly of the useful.”
― Thomas Aquinas, quote from Summa Theologica, 5 Vols

“Walking by yourself in the rain is for college kids who think loneliness makes poets.”
― Peter S. Beagle, quote from A Fine and Private Place

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.
