“Tom: If you love with kindness, even when you can't love with permanence, you'll deserve the one who's worthy along that path for you.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Born in Shame
“Shannon: Only the living suffered. Only they were riddled with guilt and regret and unanswered questions.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Born in Shame

― Nora Roberts, quote from Born in Shame
“Well, I'd find sleeping with you a pleasant thing, but I'd prefer making love with you a few dozen times first.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Born in Shame

“Allí de rodillas lo abracé, le acaricié la espalda y el pelo y ambos lloramos juntos. No había palabras para expresar lo que sentíamos; las lágrimas lo decían por nosotros: el terror, el alivio, el amor y la pena todo mezclado en la sal.”
― quote from Numbers
“And two years ago this morning I woke wondering what delightful gift the new day would give me. These are the two years I thought would be filled with fun."
"Would you exchange them - now - for two years filled with fun "
"No " said Rilla slowly. "I wouldn't. It's strange - isn't it - They have been two terrible years - and yet I have a queer feeling of thankfulness for them - as if they had brought me something very precious in all their pain. I wouldn't want to go back and be the girl I was two years ago not even if I could. Not that I think I've made any wonderful progress - but I'm not quite the selfish frivolous little doll I was then. I suppose I had a soul then Miss Oliver - but I didn't know it. I know it now - and that is worth a great deal - worth all the suffering of the past few years.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Rilla of Ingleside
“Josiah said that only humans had to endure anything, because only humans resisted what they saw outside themselves.”
― Leslie Marmon Silko, quote from Ceremony
“—Jesús, en forma intencional, se dejó caer en las manos del que lo traicionó, no se resistió al arresto, no se defendió en el juicio: resulta claro que estaba dispuesto a someterse a lo que usted describió como una forma de tortura humillante y agonizante. Y yo quisiera saber por qué. ¿Qué puede haber motivado a una persona a que acepte soportar ese tipo de castigo? Alexander Metherell, esta vez el hombre, no el doctor, buscó las palabras justas. —Francamente no creo que una persona común pudiera haberlo hecho —respondió por fin—. Sin embargo, Jesús sabía lo que le esperaba y estuvo dispuesto a padecerlo porque esa era la única forma de redimirnos: haciendo de sustituto nuestro y pagando la pena de muerte que merecemos por nuestra rebelión contra Dios. Esa fue toda su misión al venir a la tierra. Habiendo dicho eso, aun podía percibir que la mente de Mether-ell, racional, lógica y organizada sin tregua continuaba desmenuzando mi pregunta hasta llegar a la respuesta más básica e irreducible. —Por lo tanto, cuando usted me pregunta qué lo motivó —concluyó—, bien… supongo que la respuesta se puede resumir en una sola palabra; y esa sería amor.”
― Lee Strobel, quote from The Case for Christ
“I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers in their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever known. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history.”

Dime Store MagicBookQuoters 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.
