“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

“Hablaba conmigo en cuclillas junto a la cafetera,
que estaba en el suelo, y entonces parecía en tensión, lleno de muelles bajo los músculos morenos. Luego, inopinadamente, se tumbaba en la cama, fumando, relajadas las facciones como si el tiempo no tuviera valor, como si nunca hubiera de levantarse de allí. Casi como si se hubiera echado para morir fumando.”
― Carmen Laforet, quote from Nada


“I am and have a being and play a part.”
― Wallace Stevens, quote from The Collected Poems


“We were a perfect match. I’m a talker; Laura is a listener. I am restless; she is calm. I can get a little carried away; she is practical and down-to-earth. Above all, she is genuine and natural. There is no phoniness about her. Her appeal was immediate and constant. In August, I went to visit my family in Kennebunkport, planning to stay for a week. After one night, I flew back to Texas to be with Laura.”
― George W. Bush, quote from Decision Points


“The best thing about my faerie godmother is that the creepy just keeps on coming.”
― Jim Butcher, quote from Ghost Story


“I’ve worked hard, very hard, to get where I am. And you will have to work hard too. But when you do the work, you will see the results.”
― Katie Alender, quote from From Bad to Cursed

About BookQuoters

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.
