“Maybe I should be a lawyer instead of a magical baker, Rose thought. Lawyers' mistakes rarely result in old men climbing on top of towers and taking off their pants.

“Dia tidak pernah takut pada laba-laba, sepeda yang kotor, atau jemarinya terkena panas oven--dan dia sering mengalami semua itu. Namun, berjalan ke ruangan yang sama dengan pria yang ditaksirnya? Itu menakutkan.”
― quote from Bliss
“Bernard Bastable!” Miss Thistle shouted, finally. “I love you too! I want to make you my frog prince! Never in all my years have I seen a man with such magnificent, froglike charisma! You are a treasure! Kiss me now!”

“However, because they have no actual interests of their own (or if they do, they squelch them in order to fit in) and merely pursue those that they think will look best on their college apps, they're zombies.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Airhead
“Is she forever for you then? She's worth throwing it all away?"
"She's it. No one else. She's all I'm ever going to want.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Twisted Perfection
“Feeling it, trying to understand the suns that shone on it, the rains that fell on it, and the snows that covered it. And to wonder where I was when each thing happened to it in its lonely place, where I was, what I was doing, who I was loving, how I was getting along, where I was. I’d hold it, read it, feel it... and look at my own face in whatever reflection might be left.”
― Stephen King, quote from The Body
“What cat? Oh! MY CAT. The cat… that is mine. Oh, she’s... ” I had said it was a she, right? “She’s fine. All meowing and purring and other cat things.”
― Cora Carmack, quote from Losing It
“Сега лежах съвсем изоставен в тази глупава ръждивочервеникава вана, стените на банята бяха облицовани с черни плочки, но ваната, сапуниерката, кранът на душа и дъската на тоалетната чиния бяха ръждивочервени. Липсваше ми гласът на Мари. Докато мислех за нея, изпитах чувството, че тя не може да чете на Цюпфнер дори и библията, без да се чувства предателка и развратница. Тя трябваше да си спомни за хотела в Дюселдорф, където ми беше чела за Соломон и Савската царица, докато заспах преуморен във ваната. Зелените килими в хотелската стая, тъмните коси на Мари, гласът ѝ, после тя ми донесе запалена цигара и аз я целунах.
Лежах покрит до шия със сапунени пяна и мислех за Мари. Тя не можеше да върши нищо с него или при него, без да си спомня за мене. В негово присъствие не можеше да завърти дори капачето на пастата за зъби. Колко често ние двамата бяхме закусвали заедно, бедно или разкошно, набързо или спокойно, прекалено рано призори или късно сутринта, с много мармалад или без никакъв мармалад. Самата представа, че тя закусваше с Цюпфнер всяка сутрин по едно и също време, а след това той тръгваше с колата си за своята католическа канцелария, ме докара почти до молитвено настроение. Молех се никога да не се стига до закуска с Цюпфнер.”

The Time in BetweenBookQuoters 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.
