“I had severe control freak tendencies, and when I had no control—I freaked out.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“Sometimes it’s better to hold onto what you have, rather than risk what might be.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“Love doesn't come along too often. Believe me, I know. When it does, only the foolish let it fade. Even if it is him.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“I've tired so hard to stay away from you, buy your soul is so powerful. It can't be ignored. It calls to me. It's like trying to resist every lust you've ever suffered - all at once. I feel that every time I see you.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“What is that?"..."Why do you smell like that?"...

"You smell delicious."..."You smell like food. Why do you smell like food?”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“She was an Angel craving Chaos...
He was a demon seeking Peace...”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“To the non-combatants and those on the periphery of action, the war meant only boredom or occasional excitement, but to those who entered the meat grinder itself the war was a netherworld of horror from which escape seemed less and less likely as casualties mounted and the fighting dragged on and on. Time had no meaning, life had no meaning. The fierce struggle for survival in the abyss of Peleliu had eroded the veneer of civilization and made savages of us all.”
― Eugene B. Sledge, quote from With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa
“You can't have too much dog in a book.”
― Gail Honeyman, quote from Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
“Why are you carrying me?”
“Well, it didn’t seem neighborly to drag you by the hair.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Montana Sky
“Perhaps fiction has, for me, served a similar purpose--what is a narrative arc if not the imposition of order on disparate events?--and perhaps it is my avid reading that has been my faith all along.”
― Curtis Sittenfeld, quote from American Wife
“السيئون يعرفون أنفسهم على أنهم طيبون،لكن الطيبين لا يعرفون شيئا. إنهم يقضون حياتهم و هم يغفرون للآخرين،لكنهم لا يستطيعون أن يغفروا لأنفسهم.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Man in the Dark
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.
