“My heart no longer felt as if it belonged to me. It now felt as it had been stolen, torn from my chest by someone who wanted no part of it.”
― Meredith T. Taylor, quote from Churning Waters (Churning Waters Saga)
“I never want to leave you."
I didn't respond- not because I couldn't find the words, but because there weren't any words in the entire world that could have sounded more perfect.”
― Meredith T. Taylor, quote from Churning Waters (Churning Waters Saga)

“You light up the blackness that has been my life, and I don’t know how to ever be the kind of man you need and deserve, but I want to try. For you, for me, and for us. For the possibility of us.”
― Jasinda Wilder, quote from Falling Under
“Even Austrian landladies recognise the hand of destiny at work.”
― Susanna Kearsley, quote from The Splendour Falls
“El miedo al desempleo permite que impunemente se burlen los derechos laborales. La jornada máxima de ocho horas ya no pertenece al orden jurídico, sino al campo literario, donde brilla entre otras obras de la poesía surrealista; y ya son reliquias, dignas de ser exhibidas en los museos de arqueología, los aportes patronales a la jubilación obrera, la asistencia médica, el seguro contra accidentes de trabajo, el salario vacacional, el aguinaldo y las asignaciones familiares. Los derechos laborales, legalmente consagrados con valor universal, habían sido, en otros tiempos, frutos de otros miedos: el miedo a las huelgas obreras y el miedo a la amenaza de la revolución social, que tan al acecho parecía. Pero aquel poder asustado, el poder de ayer, es el poder que hoy por hoy asusta, para ser obedecido. Y así se rifan, en un ratito, las conquistas obreras que habían costado dos siglos.”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Upside Down: A Primer for the Looking-Glass World
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.
