― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love
“You think I’m broken, don’t you? You think I should be fixed. You want me to be normal. I’ll never be your version of normal, Lis. I’ll never be like you – like them.”

― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love

It doesn’t make any sense and the only answer I ever come up with is who”

“He didn’t care what people thought about the way he looked. He knew that his tats, his piercings, the way he dressed, gave people a giant fuck off message, and that suited him just fine. That shit was deliberate.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love
“What do you want, Lisanne?”
“You,”
“Are you sure? You don’t get to have your first time again, baby doll. This isn’t how I’d imagined it.”
“You’ve imagined it… with me?”
“Are you fucking kidding me? You are hot. I’ve wanted you since I met you, but I figured you just wanted to be friends. That’s cool. I like having a friend who’s a girl.”
“Can I just… can I touch you?”
He nodded slowly, his eyes following her hand as it moved shakily to his waistband.
Softly, she laid her hand over his crotch and felt his heat and hardness. He inhaled deeply.
“You are so fucking sexy.”

“She asked her parents to buy him the books she’d been read by her first teachers, Peter Rabbit and Frog and Toad. “What’s the point of buying books for someone who can’t read?” her parents asked, legitimately enough, and so she checked them out of her school library and read them to Rahul herself.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, quote from Unaccustomed Earth
“41†So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. The Fellowship of the Believers 42‡†And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43†And awe [4] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44†And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45†And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47†praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
― quote from ESV Study Bible
“No," I said. "I'm not safe, Belen. Who is going to tear Kerrick's arm off if he hits me again? Come on," I urged. "Stay with us".”
― Maria V. Snyder, quote from Touch of Power
“Do you believe you can change your destiny?' he (Sajhë) said, seeking an answer.

― Kate Mosse, quote from Labyrinth
“if every baby was a perfect miracle, life was basically a process of degeneration.”
― Jo Nesbø, quote from The Snowman
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.
