― Louise Erdrich, quote from The Round House
“i’ll tell you a tale of Vampirates,
a tale as old as true.
Yea, I’ll sing you a song of an ancient ship,
that sails the ocean blue...
That haunts the ocean blue.
the Vampirate ship has tattered sails,
that flap like wings in flight.
They say that the Captain, he wears a veil,
so as to curtail your fright.
At his death pale skin,
and his lifeless eyes,
and his teeth sharp as night.
Oh, they say that the Captain, he wears a veil,
and his eyes never see the light.
you better be good child- good as gold.
As good as good can be.
Else I’ll tell you to the in to the vampirates,
and wave you out to sea.
Yes, you’d better be good child- good as gold,
because- lookཀ can you see?,
There’s a dark ship in the harbor tonight.
And there’s room in the hold for thee.
(Plenty of room for thee.)
Well if pirates are bad.
And vampires are worse.
Then I pray, that as long as I be,
that though I sing of Vampirates,
I never one shall I see.
Yea, if Pirates are danger,
and Vampirates are death,
I’ll extend my prayer for thee-
that thine eyes never see a Vampirate...
...and they never lay a hand on thee.”
― Justin Somper, quote from Demons of the Ocean
“Emperor Joseph II: My dear young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect.
Mozart: Which few did you have in mind, Majesty?”
― Peter Shaffer, quote from Amadeus
“Why no s for two deer,
but an s for two monkeys?
Brother Quang says
no one knows.
So much for rules!
Whoever invented English should be bitten by a snake.”

Noah Barleywater Run...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.
