“Sex appeal isn't a number on a scale, it's an attitude, a state of mind. Any woman can be sexy.”
― Alex Lux, quote from Call Me Cat
“Perhaps we're all broken souls wandering this life looking for something that will make us whole.”
― Alex Lux, quote from Call Me Cat
“All relationships are built on lies. They're built on what we think the other person wants to see in us, and what we want to see in them, and how we each interpret the subjective symbols of communication. Too much truth would spoil it.”
― Alex Lux, quote from Call Me Cat
“I learned I had to save myself. That I could only depend on one person, and that was me.”
― Alex Lux, quote from Call Me Cat
“And so I eventually stopped crying myself to sleep at night. Stopped dreaming of them coming back to save me. Stopped believing anyone would save me. I learned I had to save myself. That I could only depend on one person, and that was me.”
― Alex Lux, quote from Call Me Cat

“You’re going to go to sleep right now, and think about it… and trust me… and move in with me officially.”
“Just like that?” I asked.
“Yeah, just like that.”
― Raine Miller, quote from All In
“Since I was dead — or worse than dead, buried alive in a body that might as well be a coffin except it denied me the pleasure of suffocation — I figured I should be allowed to grieve.”
― Robin Wasserman, quote from Skinned
“When you're in a train and it breaks down, well, there you is. But when you're in a plane and it breaks down, there you AIN'T.”
― Sarah L. Delany, quote from Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years
“¿En qué pensaba yo mayormente, cuando me preparé esas pildoritas? Un suicidio por un infortunio amoroso nunca he sido capaz de concebirlo. Tal vez en la pobreza. La pobreza es temible. De todas las llamadas calamidades externas, la pobreza es la que se mete más adentro. Pero no parece que me ronde de muy cerca, yo mismo me cuento entre los bien situados, y la sociología me contaría entre los ricos. En lo que más pensaba entonces era en la enfermedad. una enfermedad larga, incurable, repugnante. Yo que he visto tantas cosas... Cáncer, lupus facial, ceguera, parálisis... Cuántos desgraciados habré visto a los que sin el menor remordimiento habría administrado una de esas píldoras de no ser porque, en mí como en otras personas decentes, el interés propio y el respeto a la ley han hablado más fuerte que la compasión. Y en cambio, cuánto material humano inútil y desesperadamente estropeado habré contribuido a conservar ejerciendo mi oficio sin ruborizarme siquiera de cobrar por mis servicios”
― Hjalmar Söderberg, quote from Doctor Glas
“My father once made us," she began, "keep a diary, in two columns; on one side we were to put down in the morning what we thought would be the course and events of the coming day, and at night we were to put down on the other side what really had happened. It would be to some people rather a sad way of telling their lives," (a tear dropped upon my hand at these words) - "I don't mean that mine has been sad, only so very different to what I expected.”
― Elizabeth Gaskell, quote from Cranford

The First Phone Call...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.
