“I’d always be watching her. And she knew now that she belonged to me. Every breath she took, every step she made, every smile she faked, I’d always be there, watching her, waiting for her.”
― Jaimie Roberts, quote from Deviant
“You seek havoc, but all you’ll end up finding is despair.”
― Jaimie Roberts, quote from Deviant
“As I circled the room like a lion about to pounce, another animal, bordering on domestic fucking cat stepped behind Tyler and grabbed her by the waist for a dance. I thought she was going to tell him no thanks, like the others, but instead she looked at me challengingly and accepted the man’s advances.”
― Jaimie Roberts, quote from Deviant
“Tyler was just like any other girl now. She was manipulative and greedy. She was a witch in fucking sexy high heels.”
― Jaimie Roberts, quote from Deviant
“You don’t know anything about me, Tyler. I would suggest you stop trying to fucking psychoanalyse me. I’ve already told you that I have no love to give. We fuck, that’s about it with you and me.”
― Jaimie Roberts, quote from Deviant
“What people do in the name of religion is not necessarily religious. It often has baser reasons behind it.”

― Sarah Beth Durst, quote from The Queen of Blood
“I’m a teenage girl. He is my boy best friend. We would be everything to each other until we couldn’t.”
― Brittany Cavallaro, quote from The Last of August
“كان هنالك شعورٌ غامض يهمس لي بأنك إذا رأيت أحدًا -كائنًا من كان- على حقيقته، ولم تخفِ ما رأيته عن نفسك فلم تستطيع الإقتراب منه مجددًا. لكنني لم أرد أن أكون أحد محبي الحقيقة. كنت مدركًا بأنني لن أتحمل أي حقيقة قد تبعدني عنها. بعد عثورنا على أهم وأغلى الأشياء الموجودة فينا من أجل أرواحناـ أليس تجاهل التفاصيل، أو بتعبير أصح، التضحية بالحقائق الصغيرة من أجل الحقيقة الكبرى أكثر إنسانية وإنصافًا؟ ... لم يكن بي حنق على أحد، ما كان يضايقني هو فقط شعوري بالوحدة، وبسبب تأثيرات هذه الوحدة فأنا مستعد لخداع نفسي في نقاط كثيرة تجاه الإنسان الذي أحسست بالقرب منه.”
― Sabahattin Ali, quote from Madonna in a Fur Coat
“Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves how bitterness tastes.”
― Rin Chupeco, quote from The Bone Witch
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.
