― Stuart Gibbs, quote from Evil Spy School
“Kill them quickly?” Murray asked, without bothering to raise his hand. “Really? Isn’t it more fun to draw their death out a little? To make them suffer?” Joshua sighed. “No. We’re not James Bond villains here, kids. The more you draw out your enemy’s deaths, the more chance they have to escape. So no lowering them into pools full of crocodiles or trying to slice them in half with lasers or anything like that. Just shoot them and be done with it.” Ashley”

“It’s important that someone celebrate our existence," she objected amiably. "People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning. All virtue, all evil, are contained only in people. There is none in the universe at large. Solitary confinement is a punishment in every human culture.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, quote from Mirror Dance
“My breath caught in my throat.
Buttered biscuits and honey.
"You're not what I expected.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass
“Ko se uprete zasvojenosti in izberete, da boste postali celoviti, se uravnate s svojo nefizično pomočjo. Delo, ki ga je treba opraviti, je vaše, toda vedno vam je na voljo pomoč. Nefizični svet, dejanja vaših vodnikov in učiteljev, se dotikajo vašega sveta na veliko načinov- z mislijo, ki prinaša moč, s spominom, ki vas spomni, s pojavom presenečenja, ki krepi. V nefizičnem svetu je veliko radosti, ko se duša osvobodi svoje negativnosti in se kakovost njene zavesti pomakne navzgor v višje frekvence Luči. Zato ne trpite v samoti. Saj je sploh ni.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul
“. . . if you can't see the good man he is, you need to unscrew them eyeballs of yours and try on a different pair.”
― Karen Witemeyer, quote from To Win Her Heart
“To lose everything is not the worst that can happen."
"It's starting again, from nothing, with nothing.”
― Daniel Abraham, quote from A Shadow in Summer
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.
