“… his light to my dark. His truth to my lies. His sacrifices to my selfishness.”
“Never forget. I know that you know.”
“But people should have the right to become whatever they’re going to be before they are judged and sentenced.”
“For the first time in my life, I’m right where I’m supposed to be”
“Dead yet?" Gus answered.
I smirked. "Not yet, but the night's still young."
"Here's hoping.”
“I’d see this through to the end… This promise above all others, I will gladly keep.”
“It had only taken nine years for the world to change completely… You’d have thought we’d fight harder and stronger.”
“The person staring back at me was a stranger. Someone who had taken the girl I was two years ago and stripped her down only to rebuild a different person. Now I was strong, I was capable and smart. They were the good qualities. But I was also calculated, manipulative and selfish. These were the things I promised myself I wouldn't be. After I found him. After we put this right.”
“What are appropriate shoes?’ he asked, standing. ‘Shoes you can run for your life in,’ Gus answered helpfully. Then added, unnecessarily, ‘Welcome to the Maggie-verse.”
“Gus leaned back in his chair, appearing satisfied.
"Good," he said. "Cause Maggie's all the nightmare I can take."
I smiled. "Gus, I never knew you dreamed of me."
He gave me a one-fingered salute”
“Good,’ he said. ‘Cause Maggie’s all the nightmare I can take.’
I smiled. ‘Gus, I never knew you dreamed of me.’
He gave me a one-fingered salute.”
“Compartieron una alegre relación y no la llamaron amor.”
“وأخيرًا قلتُ لهرغر: المطر بارد.
فضحك ثم قال: كيف يمكن أن يكون المطر باردًا؟! أنت البارد وأنت التعيس! أما المطر فليس باردًا ولا تعيسًا.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” V waved his hand-rolled around. “I’m the son of a deity and she picked you?”

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.
