“We’ve been so busy with these things we let ourselves think actually mattered, but they don’t. There’s no such thing as the right career, or morality, or destiny, or fate. There’s only life. And whether you honor it or ignore it. It’s ironic, but in trying to find God we’ve been ignoring life.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“They live, we sleep, we starve, they eat. You must comply with their deceit, don't trust the wolves to guard the sheep. They'll colonize when you close your eyes into a superpower that will never die.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“People used to make money, but somewhere along the way, it started making us.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“It’s all society is, the repressed sex drives of men, the objectification of women, their paranoia, the posturing, the macho stances, the beauty standard, it’s all just one charade masking a never ending hard on.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“When did a free country start to mean free enterprise? Who sold Democracy out for a golden calf we got to idolize?”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files



“We’re better together than we are apart. The American Dream has us looking out for ourselves even at the expense of our neighbors. That shit ain’t true, man.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“Why help make big companies bigger when you can get the same thing from the little guy and actually help someone accomplish their dream?”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“You have a dedication to life and truth that burns out of you as beauty and I envy it so much I want to be around it for the rest of my life.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“I think the idea that we have anything to begin with is a lie we tell ourselves every day until we believe it. I think the law is there to enforce fictions that would not exist otherwise. Certain laws prevent us from deviating from those fictions, and thrive as a framework for the lifestyle we are all required to live. I believe that the reason possession is nine-tenths of the law is that without those laws there wouldn’t be any possession at all.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files


“We were like two atoms in one molecule, hydrogen and oxygen. Both explosive alone, but the source of everything when we came together.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, quote from Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files

“For a moment the mole let his disappointment show on his snout. Then he grunted, "You're much smarter than you smell." Liza let out a whoop of satisfaction and chose not to worry too much about what stupidity smelled like.”
― Lauren Oliver, quote from The Spindlers


“Never mind that I totally knew more about fighting vampires than my peace-loving parents. Or that Logan's girlfriend, Isabeau, had given us two full-grown, trained Rottweilers to protect us, plus the Drakes sent their human bodyguards by a couple of times a night. I named them Van Helsing and Gandhi. The dogs, not the bodyguards."

"Chapter 1 Lucy, page 15”
― Alyxandra Harvey, quote from Bleeding Hearts


“It is our inward journey that leads us through time – forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others. As we discover, we remember; remembering, we discover; and most intensely do we experience this when our separate journeys converge. Our living experience at those meeting points is one of the charged dramatic fields of fiction. ”
― Eudora Welty, quote from One Writer's Beginnings


“He went wordless, and wordless he sat beside her. He knew the size of her sorrow.”
― Walter Wangerin Jr., quote from The Book of the Dun Cow


“I am concerned that in their efforts to evade the Sapphire stereotype, black women may be discouraged from demanding equal consideration of their specific political needs within black political discourses.”
― Melissa V. Harris-Perry, quote from Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America

About BookQuoters

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.
