“I started zipping up my pants when something occurred to me.
"I'm wearing a purple thong."
"You're wearing a purple thong?"
Jack raised an eyebrow, but since I was drunk, I couldn't read on his emotions. I didn't know if it was an intrigued I'd-like-to-see-more eyebrow, or a disapproving you're-a-huge-slut eyebrow.
"Yeah. Wanna see?”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Fate
“An oblique angle,” Jack said, and his bout of jealousy was quickly replaced with glee. “Ha! I told you I would work that in!”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Fate
“The only consent hinge in life is that everyhin is changing. And that's a little scary, but it means that hints can't be bad or hard forever.”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Fate
“You're not very good at being contemplative," Milo said. "You always sound like some bad caricature of a philosopher, like those fortune cookies with 'Confucius say' or the Nietzsche guy from Mystery Men that's always saying 'when you walk on the ground, the ground walks on you.”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Fate
“The only constant in life is that everything is always changing.”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Fate
“Oh, Alice, I’m afraid you’ve really fallen into a rabbit hole this time,”

“I don't want anyone else but sometimes, surprisingly, there's someone, not the prettiest or the most available, but you know that in another life it would be her. Or him, don't you find? A small quickening. The room responds slightly to being entered. Like a raised blind. Nothing intended, and a long way from doing anything, but you catch the glint of being someone else's possibility, and it's a sort of politeness to show you haven't missed it, so you push it a little, well within safety, but there's that sense of a promise almost being made in the touching and kissing without which no one can seem to say good morning in this poney business and one more push would do it.
-The Real Thing (London 1982), p.73
Today, I bought a copy of the play at the co-op, I thought I should send it to you- out of a sort of politeness.”
― quote from The Divorce Papers
“I am Preachers little girl. And I'm gonna be just like him when I grow up. I'm gonna have a Fatboy but I want mine to be sparkly and I want a pink helmet with skulls on it. And instead of being the club President, I'm gonna be the club Queen cuz I'm gonna marry the biggest, scariest biker in the whole world and he's gonna let me do whatever I want because he's gonna love me like crazy.”
― quote from Undeniable
“Tuo tarpu kažkoks vargšas katorgininkėlis nuo Gdansko, pasisukaliojęs prie mūsų, padovanojo mum visiem vieną kiaušinį, - kad vardas tojo lenkelio būtų palaimintas per amžius!
Ir mes dabar, kaip visi gyvieji žmonės, švenčiame velykas! Sėdim po stogu, ant suolo, - ir kiaušinį turime!
Vyriausias iš mūsų tarpo, drebančiom rankom iš susijaudinimo, paėmė tą kiaušinėlį, padalino kiekvienam po plonučiuką gabalėlį, apsiašarodamas palaimino kiekvieną iš mūsų.
Simbolis - simboliu, bet vis dėlto simbolis kartais esti daug galingesnis už pačią pasiučiausią tikrovę!
Tą dieną pietų mes jau nebenorėjome. Buvome sotūs tuo kiaušinio gabalėliu, - ir dar kaip sotūs!
Galimas daiktas, pasotino mus ir tyliai paslapčiomis prarytos ašaros, gal dar ir slapti prisiminimai - Tėvynės, tėvų, brolių, seserų, šeimų, - visa tai labai galimas daiktas, bet istorija apie tai tyli.”
― Balys Sruoga, quote from Forest of the Gods
“Grief is a powerful force that settles in the heart like a dark, heavy fog. It was familiar territory to me.”
― Richard Paul Evans, quote from Battle of the Ampere
“There's good sex, and then there's sex where the memory takes up permanent residence in your brain, changes the fucking chemical balance or something so that you crave it like a damn fix. It makes you jones for it, gets under your skin like an itch. That's the kind of sex this is.”

Day WatchBookQuoters 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.
