“Beauty isn’t about meeting some holo-star standard, it’s about being you. Because looks come and go. But nobody else can be you.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“eventually we’ll be old and wrinkled. Like everybody. But we’ll look a lot better if we’re happy inside. If we used our brains and our talents instead of stressing over what someone else defines as ‘pretty.’ ”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“What defines me? Skin? I hope I'm more than that. Than this. That I am what I think, what I believe. What I feel.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“You wouldn't want to be me, Callie. Can you imagine hating your own body? I'm a prisoner inside it.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“It’s encrypted,” Hyden said. “I’m not surprised. Your father wasn’t stupid.” “So can’t you uncrypt it?” Michael asked. “Decrypt. It’s not a coffin,” Hyden said as he plucked at the screen.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“Cosa mi definisce? La mia pelle? Tu sai che si può cambiare con una passata di laser. I muscoli? Si possono costruire
con l’esercizio o con la stimolazione
elettrica. Il grasso? Può scomparire
con i trattamenti criogenici. Io spero
di essere più di tutto questo. Spero di
essere quello che penso,quello che
credo. Quello che provo.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“looks come and go. But nobody else can be you.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“The me inside this shell is still me. What defines me? Skin? You know you can change that with the wave of a laser. Muscle? EMS can build that. Fat? It can fade away with freezing. I hope I'm more than that. Than this. That I am what I think, what I believe. What I feel.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Enders
“Ik dacht dat jullie Britten alleen maar thee drunken.”

“Once these two had been joined together in love, or something like love; they had made two babies, and yet, only fifteen years later, the last tie between them was broken now. All lost, all gone. Nothing lasted, nothing. Even this forty-million-year world that the Oversoul had preserved as if in ice, even it would melt before the fire. Permanence was always an illusion, and love was just the disguise that lovers wore to hide the death of their union from each other for a while.”
― Orson Scott Card, quote from The Memory of Earth
“Perhaps in time, Ella, the words we have lost will fade, and we will all stop summoning them by habit, only to stamp them out like unwanted toadstools when they appear. Perhaps they will eventually disappear altogether, and the accompanying halts and stammers as well: those troublesome, maddening pauses that at present invade and punctuate through caesura all manner of discourse. Trying so desperately we all are, to be ever so careful.”
― Mark Dunn, quote from Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me,”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Deadlocked
“For life is what animals can teach us: how the present moment is all, and past and future are illusion.”
― Alison Croggon, quote from The Crow
“I’ve got a lot of wishes about it, but you know what they say. ‘If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.’”
“I’ve never heard that before in my life, and I’m not sure I even know what it means.”
“It means that you could spit in one hand and wish in the other, and we all know which hand’ll fill up quicker.”
― Cherie Priest, quote from Boneshaker

Don JuanBookQuoters 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.
