“So I've started wearing sweatpants to bed because I really don't need Santa seeing me in my underwear.”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“I've seen a lot of movies where a kid my age finds out he's got magical powers and then gets invited to go away to some special school. Well, if I've got an invitation coming, now would be the perfect time to get it”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“I'm probably something like 95% chicken nugget”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“fish and visitors stink in 3 days.”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“I’ve realized is that every time you get something cool for your birthday or for Christmas, within a week it’s being used against you. (We'll be taking this away until your English grade improves)”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“You know, back in the old days adults were respected because of how wise they were, and people went to them to help settle disputes. Nowadays it's a whole different world, and half the time I wonder if grown-ups should really be in charge.”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“Mom always says I need to spend less time on the couch and more time being active. But the way I see it. I'm just conserving my energy for later on. When all my friends are in their eighties and their bodies are broken down, I'll just be getting started.”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“I know I need to eat healthier, but if you take fast food out of my diet I'm in big trouble, because I'm probably something like 95% chicken nugget.”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“Now there's a black market for toys at our school. Christopher Stangel brought in a bunch of Legos from home yesterday, and I hear a single brick will set you back fifty cents.”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever

― Jeff Kinney, quote from Cabin Fever
“When love has been in your life you see that the only true, real pleasure of life is love. Every other thrill arises from that basic source of pleasure. The most meaningful songs are those your lover hums in your presence, the prettiest blossoms are the ones he offers and the only praise that counts is your beloved's. In a word or two, life only goes Technicolor in the very moment love's fingers caress it.”
― Rajaa Alsanea, quote from Girls of Riyadh
“One is often surprised at the juvenilities which grown people indulge in at sea, and the interest they take in them, and the consuming enjoyment they get out of them.”
― Mark Twain, quote from Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World
“It’s all right,’ said Julian, putting his arm round Anne.”
― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island
“See it?” he whispers.
I squint up into the tree and try to concentrate on whatever it is I am supposed to see and not on Teague’s soothing voice and that fact that I’m melting.
“Um,” I say softly, “what am I loo--”
But before I get the words out, I see it.
An eagle.
It’s massive, with a white head and white tail feathers and bright yellow feet, like you see in pictures.
“It’s a bald eagle,” he whispers. “They like to wait here by the river and feast on salmon carcasses.”
“Salmon carcasses?” I whisper.
“Yeah,” he says. “After the salmon spawn, they die.”
“They just die?” I sigh.
“Yeah,” breathes Teague.
Goose bumps.
“There will be a lot more up here soon,” he says softly. “They come in droves, hundreds of them in November, when food is scarce.”
“Oh,” I say, and stand openmouthed as the bird launches off its perch and soars. Its wingspan must be at least three feet on either side. I feel like I’m in a National Geographic special.
“Did you know they mate for life?” says Teague, still whispering.
“No, I didn’t,” I say, half listening and half noting that Teague seems to be a genius.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace
“The electron is first of all your concept of the electron.”

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.
