― quote from First Night of Summer
“Life is about the good and the bad. Good is easy. Bad is hard. Finding a way to make good from the bad is the secret. The few who discover the ability within themselves--nothing can stand in their way of happiness.”
― quote from First Night of Summer
“God, forgive those whose atrocities are so great-- I will not.”
― quote from First Night of Summer

― quote from First Night of Summer
“Richard!" On Hortense’s lips, the name was soft and exotic, Reeshard.
She demanded of him in French, "When did you return?"
Richard bowed over Mme Bonaparte’s hand before kissing her daughter’s. "I returned Monday night."
"And you have not called until now! Cad! Is he not a beast, Mama, to have deprived us of his company for so long? Eugene will be disappointed to have missed you – he is off at the theatre tonight."
Amy was about to back quietly away, when Hortense laid one gloved hand gently on Amy’s arm. "There is a lovely countrywoman of yours to whom I would like to introduce you!" Beaming, Hortense tilted her head in Amy’s direction, and drew Amy forward. Amy tried not to balk visibly under Lord Richard’s knowing eye. "Mlle Balcourt, I would like to you make zee acquaintance of Lord Reeshard Selweeck."
"We’ve already met," said Amy hastily.
"You ’ave?" Obviously intrigued, Hortense looked up inquiringly at Richard from under her eyelashes.
"Don’t matchmake, Hortense; it’s a beastly habit," Richard advised in French.”
― Lauren Willig, quote from The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
“Birthdays could be such a bummer when you were older than the country you lived in.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from A Quick Bite
“What was the opposite of linkage blindness? What described being certain of something without any kind of evidence?
...The term was faith.”
― Barry Lyga, quote from I Hunt Killers
“فمن بين جميع أسلحة الدمار التي يستطيع الإنسان ابتكارها، تعتبر "الكلمة" هي الأكثر إثارة للرعب والأقوى.
فالخناجر والرماح تترك آثارا من الدم ، والسهام يمكن رؤيتها عن بعد ، السموم تكشف في النهاية ويتم تجنبها.
أما "الكلمة" فتستطيع التدمير دون أن تترك أية أدلة.”
― Paulo Coelho, quote from The Fifth Mountain
“Where I prosper is my home.” “Do”

They Both Die at the...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.
