“press, and Connolly had a plan, a work-in-progress”
― Dick Lehr, quote from Black Mass
“The newly arrived Irish Catholics took immediately to Southie's grievance list with outside force. Indeed, it became holy writ as the community coalesced around church and family, forming a solid phalanx against those who did not understand their ways. Over the decades since then, nothing had galvanized Southies more than a perceived slight by an outsider who would change The Way Things Are.”
― Dick Lehr, quote from Black Mass
“There was some admiration for the way he handled himself. At least back then, there was a sense he would be loyal to his friends. That was the culture of the time. It was incredibly tribal, and the gang affiliation meant so much to poor city kids.”

“Daddy!” Eva whirled around, glaring. “I’ve been fucking Deuce since I was eighteen! I wanted to fuck him when I was sixteen! Maybe I even wanted him when I was twelve too! Who knows! What I do know is I have been in love with him since I was five! So get over it! And don’t you dare shoot him or I’ll shoot you!”

“Vieną laišką jis man konfiskuoja už tai, kad jame buvo parašyta: „Baisiai nuobodus biznis už surūdijusių vielų sėdėti...”
- Kaip tu drįsti rašyti, kad už surūdijusių vielų sėdi? Ar nieko kita nematai lageryje? ar nematai, berželiai auga?
Vėl jis man sako: - Lauk! - Ir aš einu lauk.
Laišką perrašiau. Rašau: mūsų spygliuotų įelektrintų vielų tvora spindi žaižaruoja kaip sidabrinė, smulkiu cukrumi apibarstyta. Už tvoros matyti trys berželiai, du kelmai ir vienas grybas.”
― Balys Sruoga, quote from Forest of the Gods

Forest MageBookQuoters 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.
