― Shannon Messenger, quote from Exile

Tucked in the branches of your quiet nest.”

“Навярно на този свят няма нищо по-страшно от човешка развалина. Още повече на тоя ничий гражданин, който се надигна в хамака, като ни видя, че влизаме, и самият той изглеждаше покрит със слой от праха, който покриваше всичко в стаята. Главата му беше стоманеносива, а жестоките му жълти очи все още пазеха могъщата вътрешна сила, която бях виждал и у дома. Имах чувството, че стига само да докоснем тялото му с нокът, то ще се разпадне, ще се превърне в купчина човешки стърготини.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Leaf Storm and Other Stories
“With gray thread Beezus carefully outlined the steam coming from the teakettle’s spout and thought about her pretty young aunt, who was always so gay and so understanding. No wonder she was Mother’s favorite sister. Beezus hoped to be exactly like Aunt Beatrice when she grew up. She wanted to be a fourth-grade teacher and drive a yellow convertible and live in an apartment house with an elevator and a buzzer that opened the front door. Because she was named after Aunt Beatrice, Beezus felt she might be like her in other ways, too.”
― Beverly Cleary, quote from Beezus and Ramona
“Tectonic plates are shifting beneath my skin
and there's a new continent in my chest
that I want to call by your name”

“You're the only one Erica. There's never been anyone else.”

“2. It is admitted that when in recent times the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ had become known to all men there immediately made its appearance a new nation; a nation confessedly not small, and not dwelling in some corner of the earth, but the most numerous and pious of all nations, indestructible and unconquerable, because it always receives assistance from God. This nation, thus suddenly appearing at the time appointed by the inscrutable counsel of God, is the one which has been honored by all with the name of Christ.”

UntamedBookQuoters 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.
