“Sex is . . . well, it’s so rude, isn’t it? You wouldn’t think girls would like sex. You’d think it’s too rude for them. Doing sex with a girl, it’s a bit like putting a frog down their backs or scaring them with dead mice or throwing worms at them. They’re such sensible, grown-up sorts of people. And yet apparently even the nice ones like you sticking the rudest thing you have on your whole body up the exact, rudest part of their body that they have. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me!”
― Melvin Burgess, quote from Doing It
“lies. The hardest kind to see through. The kind you tell yourself.”

“You take your flashlight out on your walks, right?” Simon asked.
“Depends on the moonlight.”
“From now on, take it with you every night. When you’re out
walking this way, you’ll pass the gazebo, where, chances are, I will
be smoking.”
“Then what?”
“You can signal—say, three times if you want to take a walk with
me. Twice if you want to walk alone. that way I’ll just let you walk
on. It’ll be like a military code. No one gets hurt.”
I laughed. “that’s silly and charming.”
“I try. I can signal back with my cigarette lighter too,” Simon
said, holding up the lighter and firing off three short bursts of
flame. “So, like, if I see you first and I happen to not wish to talk to
you, I can fire off two bursts and block you in your tracks.”
― Amanda Howells, quote from The Summer of Skinny Dipping
“ ما إن يولد طفل في هذا العالم حتى يكتب أحد الملائكة قَدَرهُ على جبينه ”

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.
