“Everybody hears whispered gossip and rumors clear across town. But nobody hears the scream next door.”
― Graham McNamee, quote from Bonechiller
“Gotta keep an eye on those terrorist polar bears, and make sure Santa's elves aren't planning a holy war.”
― Graham McNamee, quote from Bonechiller
“But he's a missing person nobody's going to miss much.”

“The end of the world hurts like a bitch.”
― Graham McNamee, quote from Bonechiller
“Moving into the hallway, I make the mistake of looking down. The floor seems to drop out from under me, with nothing solid to support me but my own reflection.
I take a step, watching the sole of my bare left foot meet its twin rising up on the flipside. I get the weirdest sensation that I won't fall as long as I have the reversed images of my own feet to walk on.”
― Graham McNamee, quote from Bonechiller

“Mind yourself in that guardroom," Gilan told him. Thorn grinned cheerfully. He never had any stomach butterflies before a fight. "I plan to be subtle," he said.
Gilan looked at him, his head tilted curiously. "How's that?"
"Once we go through that door, I'll bash anything that moves. And if they don't move, Stig will bash them."
"You have a strange concept of subtle," Gilan said.
Thorn's grin grew wider, "So I've been told.”
― John Flanagan, quote from Slaves of Socorro
“Keşke imkân olsaydı da (ki insan tabiatı için bu asla mümkün değildir) herkes, hepimiz, benliğimizin en gizli köşelerini olduğu gibi açığa vurabilseydik; başkalarına, hatta en yakın dostlarımıza, sırası gelince kendimize bile itiraf etmekten çekindiğimiz ne varsa, hepsini korkmadan ortaya dökebilseydik, dünyayı saracak pis kokudan hepimiz boğulurduk. Parantez içinde söyleyeyim, toplumu düzenleyen yasalar, görgü kuralları bu bakımdan iyidir zaten. Derin bir fikir gizlidir bunlarda; ahlaki olduğu iddia edilemeyecek ama, koruyucu, bize rahatlık sağlayan bir fikir. Bu da azımsanmamalı, çünkü ahlak da rahatlıktan başka bir şey değildir, yani rahatımız için icat edilmiştir. …Son olarak şunu söyleyeyim: Kusurlarımı, ahlaksızlığımı, sefihliğimi başıma kakıyorsunuz; oysa bütün suçum başkalarından daha içten olmam, o kadar. Demin de dediğim gibi, başkalarının kendilerinden bile sakladığı gerçekleri ben açıkça ortaya döküyorum.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, quote from Ezilenler
“Boredom is fear's patience. Fear doesn't want to exaggerate. Only on occasion--and fear considers this very important--does it want to know how things stand with me.”
― Herta Müller, quote from Atemschaukel
“It's a rotten job, but somebody's got to do it.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from The Seven Dials Mystery
“At least when you are a widower, everyone expects you to be sad. Annie had loved Natalie like a sister, yet she was expected to go on with life as though Natalie meant no more to her than the checkout girl at the Wal-Mart. Though”

Everyone Loves a Her...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.
