“What do you dream about?” she asks me.
“Finding someone,” I say immediately. “Someone who I can trust, someone who makes me complete.” I bite my lip, and my face flushes hot. “That's stupid, I know. It's just that I never had anybody, really. Not someone who I chose, or who chose me.”
Lark rolls toward me, propping herself up on her elbow. She looks into my eyes and says solemnly, “I chose you.”
Then, slowly, she bends until her lips touch mine. Her lilac hair tumbles over us, and though it I can see the stars shining. Oh Earth, they're spinning! They're dancing…”

“This wasn't the way he had expected his life to be. It worked, but that was about all. Happiness had got lost somewhere along the way.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, quote from Harbor

“لا بد أننا جميعا عشنا في أوقات اكتشفنا فيها أنه من الممتع، بل من المريح أن نحط من أنفسنا. حتى ونحن نقول لأنفسنا إننا لا قيمة لنا مرات ومرات، وكأن التكرار سوف يجعل ذلك حقيقة. فجأة نجد أننا تحررنا من كل تلك القيود الأخلاقية التي تدعونا للاذعان، ومن القلق الخانق لضرورة أن نطيع القواعد والقوانين، ومن الاضطرار إلى أن نكز على أسناننا ونحن نتشوف لأن نكون مثل الآخرين. وعندما يحط الآخرون من شأننا، نصل إلى نفس النتيجة التي نصل إليها عندما نبادر نحن إلى إذلال أنفسنا. ثم نجد أنفسنا في مكان حيث يمكن أن ننغمس بمنتهى الأريحية في وجودنا ورائحتنا وقذارتنا وعاداتنا، المكان الذي يمكن أن نتخلى فيه عن كل أمل في تحسين الذات والتوقف عن محاولة تغذية الأفكار المتفائلة حول البشر الآخرين. هذا المكان شديد الراحة لدرجة أننا لا نستطيع إلا أن نشعر بالامتنان للغضب والأنانية التي أوصلتنا إلى تلك اللحظة من الحرية والعزلة.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story

“let us walk into the New Year never forgetting the steps we have taken behind us, for they are the map we leave for others to follow. So”
― quote from The Triple Goddess

“They were like a couple of asteroids that had collided, she and Owen, briefly sparking before ricocheting off again, a little chipped, maybe even a little scarred, but with miles and miles still to go.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, quote from The Geography of You and Me

“Part of falling in love with someone is actually falling in love with yourself. Realizing that you're gorgeous, you're fearless and unpredictable, you're a firecracker spitting light, entrancing a hundred faces that stare up at you with starry eyes.”
― Elliot Wake, quote from Unteachable

About BookQuoters

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.
