“I like black for clothes, small items, and jewelry. It's a color that can't be violated by any other colors. A color that simply keeps being itself. A color that sinks more somberly than any other color, yet asserts itself more than all other colors. It's a passionate gallant color. Anything is wonderful if it transcends things rather than being halfway...”

“The problem, as I see it, are the twin human creations of marriage and religion. It is marriage and religion that make copulation complex and hurtful. Marriage brings up notions of trust, cuckoldry and ownership, while religion makes certain kinds of intimacy sinful.”
― Matthew Reilly, quote from The Tournament
“Straight-faced, Hamon said, "I'm honored to be working alongside someone with such expert woodland knowledge, superior battle skills, and an impressive beard."
Ven stroked his beard. "Indeed you are.”

“Maybe this is what happened when you built a friendship on a foundation of mutual disaster. It collapsed the second things righted themselves, left you desperate for the next earthquake.”
― Brittany Cavallaro, quote from The Last of August
“hayatımızın, birtakım ehemmiyetsiz teferruatın oyuncağı olduğunu, çünkü asıl hayatın teferruattan ibaret bulunduğunu görüyordum. bizim mantığımızla hayatın mantığı asla birbirine uymuyordu. bir kadın, trenin penceresinden dışarı bakabilir, bu sırada gözüne bir kömür parçası kaçar, o ehemmiyet vermeden bunu ovuşturur ve bu minimini hadise dünyanın en güzel gözlerinden birini kör edebilirdi. Yahut bir kiremit, hafif bir rüzgarla yerinden oynayarak, devrin gıpta ettiği bir kafayı parçalayabilirdi. göz mü mühim kömür parçası mı, kiremit mi mühim kafa mı diye düşünmek nasıl aklımıza gelmiyorsa ve bütün bunları nasıl hiç mütalaa yürütmeden kabule mecbursak, hayatın daha başka türlü birçok cilvelerine de aynı tevekkülle katlanmaya mecburduk.”
― Sabahattin Ali, quote from Madonna in a Fur Coat
“The first are performing asha, known for their dancing and their singing, though their magic may be weaker than others. The second are fighting asha, known for their magic and their prowess, though they may not be the most gracious of hosts. The third are Dark asha like us, the strongest of them all.”

Broadway LightsBookQuoters 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.
