“Even if that were so, how could I be happy as a vampire? There is no chance of me actually liking the idea of living forever. It's hopeless!'
Kasper faced straight ahead, glancing in his side mirror.He spoke softly, something like caring in his voice.'You don't know that, Girly! One day you might just find something worth living an eternity for.”
― Abigail Gibbs, quote from Dinner with a Vampire

“Never thought I'd see this moment, my voice said, full of the same breathlessness I felt as I looked up at him.
Neither did I,I replied.
'Girly?'
'I give up.'
'What?'
I took a deep breath.'I give in to you.' ”

“Would it help perhaps if I told you that, had your father returned to me alone, I would have sent him on his way unharmed?”
“You would!” I said; it was half a shriek. “You mean that I came here for nothing?”
A shadowy movement like the shaking of a great shaggy head. “No. Not what you would count as nothing. He would have returned to you, and you would have been glad, but you also would have been ashamed, because you had sent him, as you thought, to his death. Your shame would have grown until you came to hate the sight of your father, because he reminded you of a deed you hated, and hated yourself for. In time it would have ruined your peace and happiness, and at last your mind and heart.”
― Robin McKinley, quote from Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast
“Blue Horse said to me... wisdom is not a path, it is a tree.”
― Nancy E. Turner, quote from These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901, Arizona Territories
“It's all mirror, mirror on the wall because beauty is power the same way money is power the same way a gun is power.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, quote from Invisible Monsters Remix
“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, quote from Choke
“Yakında hipotermi başlayacaktı. Kan önemli iç organları korumak için vücudun içlerine çekilirken kollar ve bacaklarda hafif bir uyuşukluk şeklinde kendini gösterecekti. Nabız ve solunum yavaşlayıp, beyni oksijensiz bırakırken çılgınca halüsinasyonlar baş gösterecekti. Ardından vücut geri kalan ısıyı koruyabilmek için son bir gayretle kalp ve solunum hariç tüm organların çalışmasını durduracaktı. Bunu bilinçsizlik takip edecekti. Sonunda, beyindeki kalp ve solunum merkezleri aynı anda fonksiyonlarını kesecekti.”

Silver SilenceBookQuoters 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.
