“Play hard to get. You should be.”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“Falling in love is a lot like death. It chooses you. It decides the moment and the chain of events that will preclude the precise intersection of life in which it occurs. It uses you—treats you as though you were malleable in its warm pliable hands. It doesn’t bother to ask if you want it, or need it, just fills the gaping hole of destiny’s design”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“Gage opens the door. I’m not sure whether he gets out or Logan yanks him into the street, but a fight erupts. Full throttle kicks to the balls”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. It’s poison every single time.”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“The thought of my mother talking to me about sex makes me want to stab my eyes out with a fork, gouge even deeper and scramble my brains to prevent the conversation from ever happening.”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“My clothes are native to the rug in the center of the room, which my mother has lovingly deemed the hamper.”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“Drake is my own personal suicide, and the sooner I except that, the sooner I can come to terms with my loner status at the school library”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“Gage appears beneath me. 'Jump, and I'll catch you.'
'No.'
I strengthen my death grip on the trunk of the tree. 'I'm very afraid of heights. I'll need hours of therapy to repair the damage done here today.' ”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal
“He takes a hold of the back of my neck.”
― Addison Moore, quote from Ethereal

― R.J. Anderson, quote from Ultraviolet
“Nope. I'm just going to a bookstore,' Gemma replied. 'How dangerous could that be?”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Tidal
“Everything seemed to have less to do with power, and more to do with right and wrong. And it was also apparent that laws were being manipulated using the inconsistency of free will and the shitty make-up of human nature. ~RUIN Katara Aggelos”
― Lucian Bane, quote from The Judgement
“I have had all I can stand of not taking myself seriously.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, quote from Bluebeard
“No sooner had I stepp'd into these pleasures
Than I began to think of rhymes and measures:
The air that floated by me seem'd to say
'Write! thou wilt never have a better day.”
― John Keats, quote from The Complete Poems
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.
