“Dude, your girlfriend is so far past high maintenance even the janitor quit.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“Well, you know what they say about babies.”
The soul eater smirked. “What’s that?”
“Don’t underestimate the amount of shit they can bring.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“Eden," Cyrus snapped bringing her back to the present. "I have a sword pointed at you. Will you please focus”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“And you didn't tell me?"
He rolled his eyes. "When could I have told you? The day you weren't speaking to me, or the day after when you still weren't speaking to me?"
Ugh he was such a pain in the-
Just a complete and utter ass with-
Infuriating, irritating, treacherous-
"OK." October watched her wide-eyed. "I was wrong. That eye colour is working for you...if you could drown and suffocate him with that look I think you would.”

“Hayatımda savaşmadan gitmesine izin vermeyeceğim bir şey var artık.”

― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“Persepolisli Cyrus ondan hoşlanıyor ve ona saygı gösteriyordu.
Keşke Noah, onun evlatlık kızının da yeniden doğduğunda aynı şeyi yapmasını sağlayabiliseydi.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“Eden içini çekti ve gözlerinin indirerek gerginliği kırdı. " Affetmeye hazır değilim."
Noah derin bir iç geçirdi ve dönerek kapı koluna uzandı. "Ben hiçbir yere gitmiyorum. İstediğin kadar bekleyebilirsin. Sonsuza kadar zamanımız var, unutma.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“...Ruh yiyici Merrit'i buldu ama ben onu kurtarmak için tam zamanında yetiştim. O zaman anladım işte."
"Neyi anladın?" diye sordu Eden fısıltıyla.
"Ona âşık olduğumu. Onsuz yaşayamayacağımı."
"O ne dedi peki?"
Geçmişi hatırlayan Cyrus kahkahaya boğuldu. "Dedi ki.."Eh bunu anlamam biraz uzun sürdü Persepolisli Cyrus..”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“Bebekler hakkında ne derler bilirsin."
Ruh yiyici sırıttı." Neymiş?"
"Altına ne zaman edeceğini tahmin bile edemezsin.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Blood Past
“I don’t believe that history holds easy answers or simple lessons, because those answers and lessons are stretched out over thousands—millions—of untold stories. But I do believe that if we seek those stories out, and if we listen to them and talk to each other with open hearts and minds, we can start to heal. I believe that good people working together can create meaningful change.”
― Jennifer Latham, quote from Dreamland Burning
“That so many of them were African American, many of them my grandmother’s age, struck me as simply a part of the natural order of things: growing up in Hampton, the face of science was brown like mine. My”

“The politicians were in full bay, particularly those of his own party who had been urging, without success, his support of antislavery legislation which he feared would lose him the border states, held to the Union so far by his promise that no such laws would be passed. It also seemed to these Republicans that entirely too many Democrats were seated in high places, specifically in the cabinet and the army; and now their anger was increased by apprehension. About to open their campaigns for reëlection in November, they had counted on battlefield victories to increase their prospects for victory at the polls. Instead, the main eastern army, under the Democrat McClellan—“McNapoleon,” they called him—had held back, as if on purpose, and then retreated to the James, complaining within hearing of the voters that the Administration was to blame. Privately, many of the Jacobins agreed with the charge, though for different reasons, the main one being that Lincoln, irresolute by nature, had surrounded himself with weak-spined members of the opposition party. Fessenden of Maine put it plainest: “The simple truth is, there was never such a shambling half-and-half set of incapables collected in one government since the world began.”
― Shelby Foote, quote from The Civil War, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville
“I believe in movement. I believe in that lighthearted balloon, the world. I believe in midnight and the hour of noon. But what else do I believe in? Sometimes everything. Sometimes nothing. It fluctuates like light flitting over a pond. I believe in life, which one day each of us shall lose. When we are young we thing we won't, that we are different. As a child I thought that I would never grow up, that I could will it so. And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old?”
― Patti Smith, quote from M Train
“It’s easy to observe when you sit back and listen, if you truly listen to someone rather than preparing to respond to what they’re saying. It’s the difference in creative listening and reactive listening.”
― Meghan Quinn, quote from Dear Life
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.
