“...Your angry and jealous and in the mood to do some forceful dentistry”
― Heather Brewer, quote from Eleventh Grade Burns
“Vlad twisted his wrist, pinching his fingers together, spinning the bronze coin on the table. When it fell, he picked it up and did it again, counting. Thirty-two times it had fallen Slayer Society up. Twenty-two times it was down.”
― Heather Brewer, quote from Eleventh Grade Burns
“Let’s go eat turkey before I beat the crap put of my cousin.”
The way he said it, Vlad wasn’t sure if Henry wanted to eat instead of beating Joss to a pulp, or if he just didn’t want to do it on an empty stomach.”
― Heather Brewer, quote from Eleventh Grade Burns
“ Henry hooked his legs on the branch and flipped over gingerly, until he was hanging upside-down, grinning at Vlad. Then Henry's grin slipped. He fell to the ground several feet below with a thump, crying out as his body made impact. Vlad shimmied down the tree as fast as he could. "Henry ! Are you okay?" Henry sat up, clutching his wounded knee. He looked very much like he was going to start crying any second. A small, thin line of blood oozed from the scrape on his knee. Vlad's tiny fangs shot from his gums. Henry's eyes went wide, his injury all but forgotten. "What are those?" Vlad's small shoulders sank. He'd let his dad down. "They're my fangs." "Vlad, are you a vampire or something?" Henry's eyes were big, and Vlad was certain he saw fear in them. Not as much fear as when Henry had been falling from the tree, but close. He took a deep breath, glancing at the house. Then he sat down in front of Henry and said, "Yeah, Henry. I'm a vampire. But it's a secret. A very, very, very big secret and you can't tell anyone ever.”
― Heather Brewer, quote from Eleventh Grade Burns
“So what do we do?"
"We do what all families do. Grin, bear it, and pass the mashed potatoes.”

“It wasn't a bit of good fighting grown-ups. They could do exactly as they liked.”
― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island
“Teague turns to me, his eyes wide as if to say, Let’s go!
Why not! I shrug, and smile and tie my bulky parka around my waist, tuck my gloves into the sleeve, and slip my hand back around Teague’s, pinching myself that his hand is actually still there, where I left it, waiting for me.
We walk onto the makeshift plywood dance floor together, weaving ourselves, our bodies, into the mayhem.
Teague is flawless. A pro.
I’m stiff as a board, and I think too much.
But my Boy Wonder is a patron saint.
He leans in close. “You’re doing great!” he says, his lips brushing against my ear, thank you very much.
He twirls me.
He holds me up.
He looks into my eyes.
Yes, I think I could quite possibly just lie down and die.
I am boosted by his confidence. His spirit. The way he doesn’t seem to care what other people think.
And then this miraculous thing happens.
As we dance--
I tilt my head back and soak it in.
The magic, the unfiltered joy.
I finally just--
Let go.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace
“During the last 2,500 years in Buddhist monasteries, a system of seven practices of reconciliation has evolved. Although these techniques were formulated to settle disputes within the circle of monks, i think they might also be of use in our households and in our society.
The first practice is Face-to-Face-Sitting.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, quote from Being Peace

Rough CanvasBookQuoters 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.
