“There were a few things she knew about Will Trent. He was tall, at least six-three, with a runner's lean body and the most beautiful legs she had ever seen on a man. His mother had been killed when he was less than a year old. He'd grown up in a children's home and never been adopted. He was a special agent with the GBI. He was one of the smartest men she had ever met, and he was so dyslexic that, as far as she could tell, he read no higher than a second-grade level.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen
“Sara was reminded of yet another one of Will's traits, which was that he had an uncanny knack for keeping his mouth shut when he didn't know what to say. This resulted in the sort of awkward moments that made Sara's dating life look downright ebullient.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen
“A woman can run faster with her skirt up than a man can with his pants down.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen
“Will let out a long breath. "She leaves me a lot. That's what she does. She leaves, and then she comes back. And then she stays some and then she leaves again."
"Where does she go?"
"I have no idea."
"You've never asked her?"
"No."
Sara Didn't pretend to understand. "Why not?".
He glanced out into the street, watching the traffic zoom by. "It's complicated.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen
“To all the librarians in the world on behalf of all the kids y’all helped grow up to be writers”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen
“Dušo, znam da imaš posla i znam da će biti opasno, ali u što god da se danas uvališ, neće biti ni približno tako opasno po život kao ono što će se dogoditi ako mi ikad više napraviš ono što si mi radio sinoć i nakon toga zaključiš da se drugo jutro možeš izvući sa rukovanjem. Dobro?”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen
“She asked, “Was that really your dinner—two hot dogs and a Krispy Kreme doughnut?” “Four doughnuts.” “What does your cholesterol look like?” “I guess it’s white like what they show in the commercials.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fallen

Trump: The Art of th...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.
