“In my ten years of teaching I’ve noticed that teachers tend to have a bad habit of talking to themselves. I hypothesize that this is because we talk for a living, and we feel safe speaking our feelings aloud. Or it could be that most of us, especially the high school teacher variety, are just weird as shit.”
― P.C. Cast, quote from Divine By Mistake
“I waited for my thighs and butt to uncramp. Of course, they didn't know the loosening rule. They were screaming things like *Are you crazy? Do you know we're thirty-five years old? Sit down and feed us a Twinkie!”

“I closed my eyes and rested my head against his chest, wishing sincerely that Rhiannon would get hit by a bus.”
― P.C. Cast, quote from Divine By Mistake
“How the hell could Rhiannon keep people loyal to her if she was such a bitch?”
Alanna gave me a knowing look.
“I mean female people. It’s obvious how she kept her men happy.” My hands were planted on my
hips and I was tapping my foot in time with my anger. (I looked very teacherish—as a matter of fact, I felt the sudden desire to reprimand a teenager. But there’s never one around when you need one.)”
― P.C. Cast, quote from Divine By Mistake
“The Fomorians skittered backward, away from me, looking justifiably confused. I mean, really, how many human women actually run to them? And I was a human woman covered in swamp yuck, with wild red hair sticking out in matted hunks and arms flailing like a demented Bride of Frankenstein. I'd run from me.”
― P.C. Cast, quote from Divine By Mistake

― P.C. Cast, quote from Divine By Mistake
“No sabía qué pensar de aquel hombre caballo con quien debía permanecer casada durante un año. Era obvio que me interesaba. Después de todo, no había conocido nunca a nadie como él. Admitamos que no hay muchos centauros corriendo por Oklahoma, al menos por Tulsa. Una no podía saber lo que pasaba en el interior del Estado.
P.C. Cast, En el lugar de la diosa”

“هل ثمة شخص برئ فى الولايات المتحدة الامريكية ؟ رغم ان اولئك المتربعين على قمة الهرم الاقتصادى يحصلون على معظم الاموال فان الملايين منا يعتمدون فى معيشتهم -بشكل مباشر او غير مباشر - على استغلال شعوب البلاد النامية .فالموارد الطبيعية والعمالة الرخيصة التى تزود كل انشطتنا ومشروعاتنا التجارية تقريبا تاتى من اماكن مثل اندونيسيا واهل اندونيسيا انفسهم لا يجنون منها الا عائدا بائسا للغاية تضمن القروض التى تمنحها المساعدات الاجنبية بقاء اطفال اليوم واحفادهم رهينة لاحتياجات ومطالب اصحاب القروض وسيكون عليهم السماح لشركاتنا العملاقة بان تخرب وتدمر ثرواتهم الطبيعية وان يشقوا طريقهم فى التعليم والصحة وغير ذلك من الخدمات الاجتماعية فقط ليتمكنوا من سداد تلك القروض . الحقيقة ان شركاتنا قد حصلت بالفعل على معظم هذه الاموال لتبنى بها مجمعات صناعية ومطارات ومحطات توليد كهرباء
لم تتغير هذه المعادلة كثيرا . هل التحجج بعدم معرفة الامريكيين بهذه الامور يبرئ ذمتهم ؟ هل هم مضللون؟نعم,لكنهم ليسوا ابرياء”
― John Perkins, quote from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

“I can’t help it. I’m just a big gasbag. I still got leftover barbecue gas.” She squeezed her eyes shut tight and did a full minute-long fart. “Excuse me,” she said.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Finger Lickin' Fifteen
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.
