“You won't hurt me. I know you won't." Logan said.
"How can you be so sure?" I whispered.
"Because you're that Gypsy girl, and I'm the bad-boy Spartan. And I think it's time we were finally together, don't you?”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Dark Frost
“I was so getting tired of fighting for my life in the library.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Dark Frost
“They still weren't as cold as my heart was, though.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Dark Frost
“All black, of course. Just like his rotting soul.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Dark Frost
“The lights drifted farther away the faster he ran and his feet moved numbly as if they carried him nowhere. The tide of darkness seemed to sweep him back to her, postponing from moment to moment his entry into the world of guilt and sorr.”
― Flannery O'Connor, quote from Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories
“With Daisy, Sorreltail, and Ferncloud all busily licking, the kits soon started to stir, letting out faint, whimpering cries. But Daisy didn’t look up until all three revived enough to nuzzle into her belly and start suckling.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from Twilight
“Well, those who aren’t waiting for you don’t know what they’re missing.”

“Gli abiti che usiamo per la nostra professione per noi sono sacri. Rappresentano l'emblema della nostra vocazione. Realizzati con i tessuti più belli e costosi del mondo, i kimono incarnano la bellezza per come noi la concepiamo. Ciascun kimono è un'opera d'arte unica e colei che lo possiede partecipa attivamente alla sua creazione. In linea generale, si può dire molto di una persona dalla qualità del kimono che indossa: stato economico, gusto, retroterra familiare, personalità. A fronte di piccole variazioni nel taglio, c'è un'enorme varietà di colori e motivi nei materiali usati per realizzare ogni abito. Scegliere un kimono adatto alla situazione in cui verrà indossato è un'arte. Il giusto abbinamento in base alle stagioni è fondamentale. I canoni del gusto tradizionale giapponese dividono l'anno in ventotto stagioni, ciascuna delle quali possiede i propri simboli. I colori e i motivi del kimono e dell'obi dovrebbero rispecchiare la stagione: l'usignolo a fine marzo, per esempio, o il crisantemo nei primi giorni di novembre.”
― Mineko Iwasaki, quote from Geisha, a Life
“It’s worse than a disease. It’s a poison.”
― Lauren Oliver, quote from Hana
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.
