― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dragonswan

"Yes, it is. Every moment is completely unpredictable.”

“The gauzy skirt that flutters in strips over my hips and thighs provides the illusion of risqué without actually threatening to reveal my lacy panties to the world. Those are meant for Aron’s eyes only, but only if he asks nicely. And by nicely, I mean I’m fantasizing about him begging. While on his knees. And maybe naked.”
― Mila Ferrera, quote from Spiral
“Yet is it not the heart but the members of play that elevate us above the beasts: the fingers with which we touch the clavichord or the flute, the tongue with which we jest and lie and seduce. Lacking members of play, what is there left for beasts to do when they are bored but sleep?”
― J.M. Coetzee, quote from Foe
“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”
― Anne Mercier, quote from Blush
“Remember that your very first words, actions, and attitudes invariably sound the keynote.”

“Thomas demeura à lire dans sa chambre. Il était assis, les mains jointes au-dessus de son front, les pouces appuyés contre la racine des cheveux, si absorbé qu'il ne faisait pas un mouvement lorsqu'on ouvrait la porte. Ceux qui entraient, voyant son livre toujours ouvert aux mêmes pages, pensaient qu'il feignait de lire. Il lisait. Il lisait avec une minutie et une attention insurpassables. Il était, auprès de chaque signe, dans la situation où se trouve le mâle quand la mante religieuse va le dévorer. L'un et l'autre se regardaient. Les mots, issus d'un livre qui prenait une puissance mortelle, exerçaient sur le regard qui les touchait un attrait doux et paisible. Chacun d'eux, comme un œil à demi fermé, laissait entrer le regard trop vif qu'en d'autres circonstances il n'eût pas souffert.”
― Maurice Blanchot, quote from Thomas the Obscure

Steal Like an Artist...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.
