“You might not realize it now, kid, but everyone is some shade of fucked-up.”
― Riley Hart, quote from Broken Pieces
“There aren’t laws for emotions, Tristan. There isn’t a magical timeframe where it’s okay to fall in love with someone or okay to fall out of it. Emotions don’t play by rules. That’s what makes them so incredible.”
― Riley Hart, quote from Broken Pieces
“You always make me get so fuckin’ emotional. I’d get my ass beat if anyone saw me the way I am with you.”
― Riley Hart, quote from Broken Pieces
“Nothing in this world was completely black or white. Wrong or right. Or if it was, what mattered was whose eyes it was being seen from.”
― Riley Hart, quote from Broken Pieces
“He looked up as Tristan reached him. No doubt he had tears mixed with the rain sliding down his face. “It’s my birthday,” he whispered. “That’s when he gave me the queen. He said it’s because I was the strongest person he knew.”
― Riley Hart, quote from Broken Pieces
“And then he cocked his head a little bit. A slight smile tugged at Tristan’s lips. “You talked to her. This was the first day of college you missed, and it was because you spoke with her all day on the phone.”
― Riley Hart, quote from Broken Pieces
“Emotions don't play by rules. That's what makes them so incredible.”

“She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot.
And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king.
There was no beauty without risk. No life without it.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Carolina Moon
“Dan kelak, di saat begitu banyak jalan terbentang di hadapanmu, dan kau tak tahu jalan mana yang harus kau ambil, janganlah memilihnya dengan asal saja, tetapi duduklah dan tunggulah sesaat.
Tariklah napas dalam-dalam, dengan penuh kepercayaan, seperti saat kau bernapas di hari pertamamu di dunia ini.
Jangan biarkan apa pun mengalihkan perhatianmu, tunggulah dan tunggulah lebih lama lagi.
Berdiam dirilah, tetap hening, dan dengarkanlah hatimu.
Lalu, ketika hati itu bicara, beranjaklah, dan pergilah ke mana hati membawamu.”
― Susanna Tamaro, quote from Follow Your Heart
“Is this a private fight, or can anyone join?”

“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. MARGARET YOUNG”
― Julia Cameron, quote from The Artist's Way
“As a self-respecting dude, I'd never believed in fairy tales, but in that moment, I did. I'd found my angel to live happily-ever-after with.”

North and SouthBookQuoters 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.
