“But alone is good. Alone is safe.”
― Joey Graceffa, quote from Children of Eden
“But there's always a price, to every decision.”
― Joey Graceffa, quote from Children of Eden
“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…”

“Why on Earth then do some people have so much, some so little? It makes no sense. The”

“For a second I marvel at the technology humans can create. How did we get to be so powerful, but so destructive? With so much intelligence, couldn’t we see the point past which one begets the other? We”

“It isn't often that Aunt Dahlia lets her angry passions rise, but when she does, strong men climb trees and pull them up after them.”

“Never miss a chance...to keep your mouth shut.”
― Robert Newton Peck, quote from A Day No Pigs Would Die
“The only real enemy humans have is death. Every other enemy like a kid who slags you off at school or a cop who pulls you over you think they're enemies but they're not really. They're just I don't know irritations. But death that's the serious one because you know he'll win eventually. And that makes you like you've got to try to beat him. The bigger the challenge the harder you try. That's true of anything. In a way our enemies aren't these soldiers themselves our enemy is death and the soldiers are just his little local representatives." -Homer”
― John Marsden, quote from While I Live
“«Occhi dorati, capelli rossi. O meglio, d’oro rosso.»
Lo sguardo azzurro di Anya lampeggiò all’improvviso. «Mmh, interessante.»
«Che cosa? Il colore dei suoi capelli?» Lo sapeva bene: aveva voglia di affondarvi le dita, di spargerli sul cuscino e sulle proprie cosce.
«No, il fatto che tu l’abbia definito d’oro rosso» replicò Anya con una risatina. «Il piccolo Sabie si è preso una cotta?»
Lui stringe i denti e arrossì. Maledizione!
«Oh-oh. Fantastico. Guarda un po’ chi si è innamorato mentre esplorava tutte quelle piramidi.»”
― Gena Showalter, quote from The Darkest Whisper
“Some people grow into their dreams, instead of out of them.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, quote from Komarr
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.
