“Don’t you dare walk away from this, Jack, don’t you dare, Molly says fiercely. Most people don’t ever feel what yer feeling. Be with her. An if it lasts one hour, one night, a week a month, it don’t matter. Be with her, burn with her, shine with her… fer whatever time’s given to you.”
― Moira Young, quote from Rebel Heart
“Every fight for survival is really a fight to return to the inconsequential concerns of the mundane.”

“След две седмици Меме беше отворила дюкянчето си и дори си имаше шевна машина. Беше купила нова Domestic с парите, които той натрупа у дома. За мене това беше оскърбление. Така и казах на баща ти. Но макар и да не реагираше на възмущението ми, личеше, че е по-скоро доволен от постъпката си, отколкото разкаян, сякаш беше спасил душата си, противопоставяйки на благоприличието и честта на нашия дом пословичната си търпимост, своето разбиране и великодушие. И дори известно неблагоразумие. Казах му: «Ти хвърли на свинете най-хубавото от убежденията си.» А той, както винаги, ми отвърна:
— И това ще проумееш някой ден.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Leaf Storm and Other Stories
“Mother,” said Ramona urgently. This time she stepped into the hall. “Unless we get a ladder (Go back to your room, Ramona) and break the window so we can unlock it,” Mother continued, speaking with one sentence inside another, the way grown-ups so often did with Ramona around. “But Mother,” insisted Ramona even more urgently. “I have to—” “Oh, dear, I might have known,” sighed Mother.”
― Beverly Cleary, quote from Beezus and Ramona
“Let the word in and sooner or later people will see the oceans pouring out of you. You'll walk down the street and someone will mistake you for the sky. You are beautiful because you let yourself feel, and that is a brave thing indeed.”

The Art of SeductionBookQuoters 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.
