“You need to decide to stop letting their crazy box you in.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“You don’t see yourself clearly, but I do. You’re the man that I want, and I’m fighting for you, fighting for us.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“Is that actually you or am I dreaming again?”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“From the moment I saw you it has only been you Sabrina, and it will only ever be you.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“You’re so beautiful baby, so perfect inside and out, and believe me I’d know. You’re just as deep in me as I am in you. I feel you everywhere Sabrina.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“Being in a relationship doesn’t mean that you never get aroused by anything else ever again. It just means that you don’t act on it. I think it’s healthy to maintain the ability to be aroused in other situations. Relationships shouldn’t be a prison.
You’d have gotten hard before, and you should now. As long as you know that the only person you’re going to be sliding your big hard cock in to, we’re fine. There really is a happy medium between the craziness of your parents with their compulsion to continue having sex with anyone they wanted, and couples who expect one another to be perfect at all times with the idea that no feelings of sexuality outside of the relationship are acceptable. Both of those types of relationships would never work for me. What’s perfect for me is that we stay ourselves, and make each other truly happy”

“Of course,” Armand was saying to Simon, “you know that it was an American, like yourself, who nearly ruined the wine-making in France?” “We’re Canadians.” “But that is the same thing, surely?”
― Susanna Kearsley, quote from The Splendour Falls
“Cuando el gobierno de Francia decidió, en mayo del 98, reducir la semana laboral de 39 a 35 horas, dando así una elemental lección de cordura, la medida desató clamores de protesta entre empresarios, políticos y tecnócratas. En Suiza, que no tiene problemas de desempleo, me tocó asistir, hace algún tiempo, a un acontecimiento que me dejó turulato. Un plebiscito propuso trabajar menos horas sin disminuir los salarios, y los suizos votaron en contra. Recuerdo que no lo entendí, confieso que sigo sin entenderlo todavía. El trabajo es una obligación universal desde que Dios condenó a Adán a ganarse el pan con el sudor de su frente, pero no hay por qué tomarse tan a pecho la voluntad divina. Sospecho que este fervor laboral tiene mucho que ver con el terror al desempleo, aunque en el caso de Suiza el desempleo sea una amenaza borrosa y lejana, y con el pánico al tiempo libre. Ser es ser útil, para ser hay que ser vendible. El tiempo que no se traduce en dinero, tiempo libre, tiempo de vida vivida por el placer de vivir y no por el deber de producir, genera miedo. Al fin y al cabo, eso nada tiene de nuevo. El miedo ha sido siempre, junto con la codicia, uno de los dos motores más activos del sistema que otrora se llamaba capitalismo.”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Upside Down: A Primer for the Looking-Glass World
“[T]he way I see it, we're two people, so hopelessly intertwined, that without one, the other ceases to fully exist. You call me your moon, well, I call you my soul mate.”
― L.B. Simmons, quote from The Resurrection of Aubrey Miller
“You know, there is only one letter's difference between lonely and lovely," I told him once when he was down. "There is only one letter's difference between loner and loser," he retorted.”

An Echo in the Darkn...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.
