“Teague blazes the trail, and I follow close behind at a pretty fast clip.
“Hey,” I call ahead. “Um, is there a particular reason we are going so fast?”
Teague keeps going. I don’t know if he doesn’t hear me or what, but he just glides ahead, ducking under errant branches, hurdling over fallen tree trunks. He is nimble and quick, and in these woods he seems very much at home.
After forty-five minutes of our little game of cat and mouse, I finally catch up to him, already sitting down on a flat rock on the edge of the river, drinking from a canteen.
“It’s about time,” he says, grinning. “I was almost going to give up on you.” He winks.
I crumple onto the rock, right beside him. For the first time, since the other day, we are touching. My shoulder is brushing up against his and there is an electric current running through the air that seems to be hogging all the attention.
Thankfully, Teague speaks before I faint. “Water?” he asks, offering up his canteen.
“Sure, thanks,” I say, taking a swig and catching my breath.
“So.” His eyes widen. “You’re in pretty good shape.”
“Apparently not,” I say sarcastically. “Not good enough.”
“No, you are.” He smiles.
Dimples. Major dimples.”

“If you wish to have children, please do something for the world you will bring them into. That will make you someone who works for peace, in one way or another.”

“...by and by a change came: I started to muse about the shape of my nose. I put my trivial surroundings aside and mused more and more about myself, and I found this to be a bewitching occupation. I stopped asking and longed instead to speak of my thoughts and feelings. Alas, there was no one besides myself who found me interesting.”
― Tove Jansson, quote from Moominpappa's Memoirs

The Vampire's Assist...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.
