“I could be patient. I could. If they’d hurry up.”
― Faith Hunter, quote from Dark Heir
“The aroma of tea mixed with the scent of old books, leather chairs, and wool from the carpet in a soothing fusion.”
― Faith Hunter, quote from Dark Heir
“Nothing so good as bein’ right with Jesus, my sister.” I was being evangelized by an ex-con.”
― Faith Hunter, quote from Dark Heir
“My fault? It could be. So much was my fault, the result of my actions or decisions. Sabina”
― Faith Hunter, quote from Dark Heir
“...after all, she had birthed us alone, diapered and fed us, helped us with homework, kissed and hugged us, poured her love into us. That she might not actually know us seemed the humblest thing a mother could admit.”
― Aimee Bender, quote from The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
“In a friendship, especially in a friendship between two young boys, you are allowed to inflict a certain amount of pain. This is even expected. But you must cause no serious injury; you must never, under any circumstances, leave wounds that will result in permanent scars.”
― Joe Hill, quote from 20th Century Ghosts
“... Cât despre liniile de fugă , ele nu constau niciodată în a fugi de lume, ci, mai degrabă, în a face lumea să fugă, să scape, să plesnească... și nu există sistem social care să nu scape pe la toate capetele sale, chiar dacă segmentele lui nu încetează să se întărească, să devină din ce în ce mai dure pentru a colmata liniile de fugă. Nimic imaginar sau simbolic într-o linie de fugă. Nimic mai activ decât o linie de fugă, la animal și la om. ... În fiecare moment, ce anume scapă, fuge într-o societate? Tocmai pe liniile de fugă se inventează noi arme, pentru a le opune marilor arme de stat... frecvent... un grup, un individ funcționează el însuși ca o linie de fugă; o creează mai curând decât o urmează, este mai curând el însuși arma vie pe care o meșterește decât o ia de la alții. Liniile de fugă sunt realități; și sunt extrem de periculoase pentru societăți, chiar dacă acestea nu pot să se lipsească de ele și uneori chiar le menajează.”
― Gilles Deleuze, quote from A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
“„We gave your way a try,” he said to Annabelle. „Now it's time for my way.” He flattened his palm on Brax's chest and pushed. Just a little push, but the man flew backward and slammed into the foyer wall. […]
In a blink, Zacharel had a hand wrapped around Brax's throat and his body pinned against the wall, his legs dangling. […]
A soft hand on his shoulder, a beseeching voice in his ear. „Zacharel. Let him down, please. Despite everything, I love him the way you love Hadrenial. I don't want to see him hurt.”
Golden eyes widened, bulged, really, as Zacharel increaed the pressure. „Just a little longer. He disrespected you.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Wicked Nights
“Give your false prophet a message for me. Tell him Jesus befriended the whores and the thieves and the sinners. Tell him his Old Testament God is dead. God doesn't punish the wicked and save the righteous. God is love.”
― Jennifer Bosworth, quote from Struck
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.
