“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
“We have to stop, this is insane. I literally cannot handle anymore. I think I’ve lost brain function. I can actually feel myself becoming stupid”

“Not possible. Let’s test it. What’s two times two?”
“Orange?”
― Alice Clayton, quote from The Unidentified Redhead
“But when I allowed
myself to think of her, I remembered the delicacy of her brown body under her orange robe, and I
drew courage from knowing that she had needed nothing to guide her but her determined heart. Had
there ever been a man who could claim to be as fearless? She had never even held the heavy swords
and sharp daggers that gave soldiers their swagger. Khadijeh may have been a slave, but in her heart,
she was a lion-woman.”
― Anita Amirrezvani, quote from Equal of the Sun
“*Always schedule enough time between connections. I always like to give myself at least two hours between flights. It’s much easier to sit in the terminal for three hours than it is to sit on standby for two days because you missed your connection.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“You may study the bodies of the living and the dead for clues about the mechanism of the muscles, the bones, and even the brain, but you can never unravel the mystery of the human heart. . .”
― Fiona Paul, quote from Venom
“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
― Douglas Preston, quote from White Fire
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.
