“Reagan…god. Why is this so hard? He lifts his head, his eyes roaming, searching, wavering. He swallows and sighs, tries again. “I’ve never loved anyone before, Reagan. I don’t know how.”
“You’re doing just fine so far,” I tell him.”
― Jasinda Wilder, quote from Captured

“Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count 'em up: What then? The happiness he gives is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.”
― Charles Dickens, quote from A Christmas Carol, The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth
“We are vain and we are dishonest because it is necessary to triumph over other vain and dishonest persons.”
― Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, quote from Address Unknown
“من دیگر آن آدمی نیستم که دو سال پیش بودم. حالا اگر به من میگفتند اجازه دارم یک انسان را به عنوان همنشین آرزو کنم، حتماً دلم میخواست زن سالمندی باشد، یک زن زیرک و شوخطبع که بتوانم هر از گاهی به او بخندم. هنوز خیلی دلم هوای خنده میکند. ولی حتماً او هم قبل از من میمرد و من دوباره تنها میشدم و وضع بدتر از وقتی میشد که هرگز با او آشنا نشده بودم. در آن صورت باید بهای گزافی برای خندیدن میپراختم. بعد هم مجبور میشدم به یاد او هم باشم و این دیگر بیش از حد تحملم بود. اکنون هم تنها پوست نازکی هستم که به روی کوهی از خاطرات کشیده باشند. دیگر بس است. اگر این پوست شکافته شود، چه بر سر من خواهد آمد؟”
― Marlen Haushofer, quote from The Wall
“Anger is simply momentary madness, and sometimes there is strength in silence. After all, he is only throwing words, not stones.”
― Jeff Shaara, quote from Rise to Rebellion
“I'm warning you. I'm not a good man, Karissa, and I never will be. So don't think you can fix me, or that I'll ever change, because I won't. I can't. You have to know, if this goes any further, if you ask me to stay, I'm not going to be able to let you walk away.”
― J.M. Darhower, quote from Monster in His Eyes

Coco Pinchard's Big...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.
