“We'd slipped beyond the real world and hovered where darkness and light made love to create the colors in the universe.”
― Adrienne Wilder, quote from Complementary Colors
“Swatches of color to close the wounds. Lines to tie it down. Layers upon layers, until the sound of their voices formed a hum.”
― Adrienne Wilder, quote from Complementary Colors
“You better be glad that thing is attached, or it would follow me home. Then I’d have to keep it.”
― Adrienne Wilder, quote from Complementary Colors
“All I could do was suck in air through my gaping mouth and pray I wouldn’t pass out.”
― Adrienne Wilder, quote from Complementary Colors
“I don't have money, but you do, so you can buy yourself everything I can't." He put his finger over my lips, stopping another reply. "But there are some things money can't get you. Things I know you've never had." His touch followed the curve of my mouth, sending a shiver through me. "That's what I have to offer you, if you'll give me the chance.”
― Adrienne Wilder, quote from Complementary Colors
“He pulled me by my shoulder. The change in angle allowed his long thick cock to reach parts of me that were never meant to be touched. My vision darkened, and every beat of my heart fought the constriction in my chest. I went beyond pleasure, into some realm where sensations worked like a creature eating me alive. All I could do was suck in air through my gaping mouth and pray I wouldn’t pass out.”

“You see the suffering of children all the time nowadays. Wars and famines are played out before us in our living rooms, and almost every week there are pictures of children who have been through unimaginable loss and horror. Mostly they look very calm. You see them looking into the camera, directly at the lens, and knowing what they have been through you expect to see terror or grief in their eyes, yet so often there’s no visible emotion at all. They look so blank it would be easy to imagine that they weren’t feeling much.
And though I do not for a moment equate what I went through with the suffering of those children, I do remember feeling as they look. I remember Matt talking to me--- others as well, but mostly Matt--- and I remember the enormous effort required even to hear what he said. I was so swamped by unmanageable emotions that I couldn’t feel a thing. It was like being at the bottom of the sea.”
― Mary Lawson, quote from Crow Lake
“I think,' I said, watching his face for a reaction, 'that fate wants me to become a serial killer,'
He raised an eyebrow; nothing more. I told you he was calm.”
― Dan Wells, quote from I Am Not A Serial Killer
“Do you think there really is a Heaven?” Jamie asked, his small voice floating up into the darkness.
I lay still, afraid to answer, because I wasn’t sure.
“Yes, Jamie,” Mary said. “And tomorrow we’ll see Mum and Dad.”
“And Bella,” I added. “She’ll bark the second she sees you.”
Jamie giggled. To laugh at our own death seemed strange, but it was all we could do.”

“Странно бе, че с течение на времето започнах все по-често да си спомням за Наташа. В мислите ми нямаше нито съжаление, нито разкаяние, ала едва в този миг осъзнах какво е представлявала тя за мен. Тогава не го бях осъзнавал, но сега, когато всичко се отрече от мен, или се сля с поток от огорчения, рухнали илюзии и лутания, ми ставаше все по-ясно каква роля бе изиграла тя в моя живот. Като че ли от златоносната руда бе изтръгнат чистия метал. Тези мисли не ми помогнаха да преодолея разочарованието, ала за това пък запонах да да виждам нещата по-отчетливо и да се дистанцирам от тях. Колкото повее онова време се отдалечаваше от мен, толкова по-силно ставаше убеждението ми, че Наташа е била най-важното явление в моя живот, а аз не съм знаел това...Понякога си мисля,че можех да остана в Америка, ако знаех какво ме очаква в Европа. Но това бяха мисли, които идваха и отлитаха като вятъра, те не пораждаха нито сълзи, нито отчаяние - знаех, че едното бе невъзможно без другото, живота ми в Америка нмаше да бъде същия. Връщане назад няма, нищо не стои на едно място - нито ти, нито другия до теб. Онова, което остана, бяха редките вечери, изпълнени с тъга, тъгата на всеки човек, осъзнаващ, че всичко е преходно, а той е единственото живо същество, което го знае, както знае и друго - че това е неговата утеха, макар и да не разбира защо.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from Shadows in Paradise
“I have always suffered from the feeling that it's better to read a good book than to write a poor one; and I've done so much mixed reading in my time that my mind is full of echoes and voices of better men. But this book I'm worrying about now really deserves to be written, I think, for it has a message of its own.”

Moby-DickBookQuoters 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.
