“If there's one area of me that the devil's got a hold of, it's my tongue.”

― Stefne Miller, quote from Collision
“That thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you is usually what you need to find, and finding it is a matter of getting lost. The word ‘lost’ comes from the old Norse ‘los’ meaning the disbanding of an army…I worry now that people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know.
Advertising, alarmist news, technology, incessant busyness, and the design of public and private life conspire to make it so. A recent article about the return of wildlife to suburbia described snow-covered yards in which the footprints of animals are abundant and those of children are entirely absent. Children seldom roam, even in the safest places… I wonder what will come of placing this generation under house arrest.”
― Rebecca Solnit, quote from A Field Guide to Getting Lost
“Montaigne says somewhere that in early youth the joy of life lies in the feet.”
― Willa Cather, quote from Lucy Gayheart
“They're closer than we'd like, but every things in place, sir. The full moon is almost at its peak.”
― Candace Knoebel, quote from Born in Flames
“I got through it, and I wore it like a badge of honor—I Can Be Alone and it's Okay.”
― J.M. Richards, quote from Tall, Dark Streak of Lightning
“Don’t think I don’t know you love me. You believe we going to make it?”
― James Baldwin, quote from If Beale Street Could Talk
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.
