“Zu Hause ist da, wo deine Bücher sind.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“Liv, stop it!" hissed Mia. "You look like a lovelorn sheep!"
I gave a start. "As bad as that? Oh, that's terrible." I added - and I was to regret it in the course of the day - "If you see me looking like that again, give me a nudge or throw something at me. Promise?"
"With pleasure," said Mia, and three hours later, because she always kept her promises, I was black and blue around the ribs and had been hit by assorted flying objects: several chestnuts, a spoon, and a blueberry muffin.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“E se tu dormissi?
E se nel sonno
tu sognassi?
E se nel tuo sogno
salissi al cielo
e lì cogliessi un mirabile fiore?
E se al tuo risveglio
quel fiore
fosse fra le tue mani?
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“«Perché il mio desiderio è stato esaudito nel momento stesso in cui ti ho conosciuta.»”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“Estúpidamente, había creido que nunca podría necesitarlo”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“Sí que era raro todo lo que se pillaba y almacenaba inconscientemente”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“¿Cómo decía Sherlock Holmes? Es un error capital formular una teoría antes de tener los indicios correspondientes. Inconscientemente, se empiezan a tergiversar los hechos para que encajen con las teorías, en vez de que las teorías encajen con los hechos.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“Según Confucio, el sabio olvida las ofensas como un ingrato los favores”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“No soy una bobalicona dominada por las hormonas y con un cerebro de algodón de azúcar rosa.”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“Algunas frases tienen un efecto irresistible en mí”
― Kerstin Gier, quote from Dream a Little Dream
“That’s when it happened. So fast, in fact, that we didn’t even realize it had happened. All we knew was that one instant we were sitting at a lovely outdoor table toasting the beautiful day, and the next our table was on the move, crashing its way through the sea of other tables, banging into innocent bystanders, and making a horrible, ear-piercing, industrial-grade shriek as it scraped over the concrete pavers.”
― John Grogan, quote from Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog
“Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”
― C.S. Lewis, quote from The Screwtape Letters
“They’re not hideous,” said Tessa.
Will blinked at her. “What?”
“Gideon and Gabriel,” said Tessa. “They’re really quite good-looking, not hideous at all.”
“I spoke,” said Will, in sepulchral tones, “of the pitch-black inner depths of their souls.”
Tessa snorted. “And what color do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?”
“Mauve,” said Will.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Clockwork Prince
“Still I pictured having you for fifty, sixty more years. I thought I might be ready then to let you go. But it's you, and I realize now that I won't be anymore ready to lose you then than I am right now. Which is not at all.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from City of Fallen Angels
“The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit.”
― Scott Westerfeld, quote from Uglies
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.
