“The only thing separating Americans and Brits is a comman language.”
― H.P. Mallory, quote from Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
“You want some more?" Christa asked, her right eye drooping like an old lady's pantyhose. It was a sign that Christa was drunk. She said it was a form of lazy eye; I just thought it was hysterical and laughed although I tried to hide it with an inconspicuous cough.”
― H.P. Mallory, quote from Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
“Sometimes life is stranger than art.”
― H.P. Mallory, quote from Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
“I didn’t realize you was the witch,” Ryder said, his gaze settling on my bust. Apparently, not all vampires could speak the Queen’s English,”

“Always trust your intuition as it won't steer you wrong.”
― H.P. Mallory, quote from Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
“I don't think of myself as evil, but no can say they've led a perfect life.”
― H.P. Mallory, quote from Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
“Now this was like trying to comprehend all the activity of an anthill, and read all the words in a book, and feel all the splendor of a cathedral, in one glance. Jack’s mind was not equal to the demands that Cairo placed on it, and so for a long while he fixed his attention on small and near matters, as if he were a boy peering through a hollow reed.”
― Neal Stephenson, quote from The Confusion
“Он не раз в продолжение этих трех месяцев спрашивал себя: "Я ли сумасшедший, что вижу то, чего другие не видят, или сумасшедшие те, которые производят то, что я вижу?" Но люди (и их было так много) производили то, что его так удивляло и ужасало, с такой спокойной уверенностью в том, что это не только так надо, но что то, что они делают, очень важное и полезное дело, -- что трудно было признать всех этих людей сумасшедшими; себя же сумасшедшим он не мог признать, потому что сознавал ясность своей мысли. И потому постоянно находился в недоумении.”
― Leo Tolstoy, quote from Resurrection
“Youre gonna grow up and marry some ice cream! Haha!”
― Jeff Kinney, quote from Rodrick Rules
“You might think that after all the shameful capitulations made by the government during the ups and downs of their negotiations with the maphia ... they could sink no lower. Alas, when one advances blindly across the boggy ground of realpolitik, when pragmatism takes up the baton and conducts the orchestra, ignoring what is written in the score, you can be pretty sure that, as the imperative logic of dishonor will show, there are still, after all, a few more steps to descend.”
― José Saramago, quote from Death with Interruptions
“So with that thought, I begin again—thinking to myself that sometimes . . . the only real thing is now.”
― Suzanne Young, quote from The Program
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.
