― Sara Shepard, quote from Cross My Heart, Hope to Die
“But you can't make someone be something they're not.”
― Sara Shepard, quote from Cross My Heart, Hope to Die
“Last but not least, she put on a pair of black-framed reading glasses she’d found on Mr. Mercer’s bedside table. If it worked for Clark Kent, it’d work for her.”

“I hope they'll understand why I did this, when it's all said and done... I'd hate to leave them. - Emma, about the Mercers”
― Sara Shepard, quote from Cross My Heart, Hope to Die
“When I first started this, I was just trying to survive. But now... I feel like I know Sutton, Ethan. I know it sounds weird, but I feel like she's here sometimes, still with me, cheering me on. I love her, and I can't let her down. She deserves justice." She shook her head again. "I'm either going to solve this thing, or I'm going to die trying."
I felt my whole being fall very still. No one had ever made a promise like that for me, risked death for me. For once I was glad that Emma couldn't hear my thoughts. I wasn't sure I could find the words to tell her how grateful I was.”
― Sara Shepard, quote from Cross My Heart, Hope to Die

“Emma!" I screamed.
...
"Sutton?" Emma breathed.
...
"Emma," I protested. I tried to clutch at her, knowing even as I did that it was hopeless.
But this time, something was different. My touch didn't move through her. It rested lightly on the surface of her skin, as soft as a kiss. I could feel her heartbeat, so warm, so alive.
Emma was still staring at our mother, a determined look on her face. She didn't seem to have felt anything. But I had. Even if it happened only once, I had touched my sister.”
― Sara Shepard, quote from Cross My Heart, Hope to Die
“That was Sanjay Banerjee... He just found Nisha facedown in their swimming pool. She's dead. - Mr. Mercer”

― Graham Greene, quote from Our Man in Havana
“Afterwards, the princeps asked the science consul, “Did we destroy a civilization in the microcosmos in this experiment?” “It was at least an intelligent body. Also, Princeps, we destroyed the entire microcosmos. That miniature universe is immense in higher dimensions, and it probably contained more than one intelligence or civilization that never had a chance to express themselves in macro space. Of course, in higher dimensional space at such micro scales, the form that intelligence or civilization may take is beyond our imagination. They’re something else entirely. And such destruction has probably occurred many times before.” “Oh?” “In the long history of scientific progress, how many protons have been smashed apart in accelerators by physicists? How many neutrons and electrons? Probably no fewer than a hundred million. Every collision was probably the end of the civilizations and intelligences in a microcosmos.”

Sunset ParkBookQuoters 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.
