“Because it’s only ever been you.”
― Carrie Elks, quote from Fix You
“He burned with the need to hug her. But since their reconciliation they’d kept each other at arm’s length, as if they were both aware that to step into the murky waters of physical contact would break down the delicate dam they’d created.”
― Carrie Elks, quote from Fix You
“Richard.” Her voice was surprisingly strong. She could do this. She could tell him the truth, and then get the hell out of here.
Back on a plane.
Back home.
Back to him.
“Richard, we had a baby.”
― Carrie Elks, quote from Fix You
“It never ends, does it? Just when you think the hardest part is over, something else comes up to take its place.”
― Carrie Elks, quote from Fix You
“PS: Does room 101 contain your worst fear?”
― Carrie Elks, quote from Fix You
“They’d both made separate deals with the devil, promising not to step over the invisible line if it allowed them to be in each other’s lives. They’d made the mistake once before of trying to be lovers, and look how that turned out.”
― Carrie Elks, quote from Fix You
“Hanna’s quirkiness endeared her to him.”

“Вчера времени еще было много. А завтра нам будет казаться, что сегодня было много.”

“Some things you don't have to tell. Some things, between sisters, are understood.”
― Sarah Dessen, quote from That Summer
“Then we could collate all the possibles and go to work with the holy trinity of detectives everywhere: means, motive, opportunity. Means and opportunity wouldn’t signify much. By definition nobody would be on the possibles list unless they had been proved to have opportunity. And everybody in the army was physically capable of swinging a tire iron or a crowbar against the back of an unsuspecting victim’s head. It was probably a rough equivalent of the most basic entry requirement.”
― Lee Child, quote from The Enemy
“إنظرا إلى هؤلاء الخصيان في الجنائن هناك، لقد أوكلنا إليهم حراسة أجمل فتيات البلاد. وعندهم أعين كأعيننا،وآذان كآذاننا، وحواس كحواسنا، بيد أن بتر صغير في جسدهم كان كافياً لتغيير تصورهم للعالم. فماذا يعني لأحدهم عطر مسكر لون نضر عند فتاة شابة؟ أو ملامسة نهدين عذراوين فتيين؟ لا شيء سوى إحساس مزعج بأن لديه كتلة من اللحم المكتنز دونما فائدة. أنظرا تلك هي نسبية حواسنا. فماذا يهم الأعمى إن أحاطته ألوان حديقة غنّاء؟ والأصم إن صدح حوله تغريد العندليب. وكذلك سحر عذراء لا يثير مشاعر خصي ص 307”

“He went farther into the shadows to exchange his pants for the leather breeches. Too bad. When he emerged again, he looked pretty good even though it wasn’t his style. And he was lucky there were no tights, after all. He tilted his head.
'You like it.'
'Shut up.' I blushed. I hated vampire extrasensory perception. It wasn’t fair that he could hear my heartbeat or smell my skin or what ever.
'Girls are so weird.'
Kieran snorted. 'No kidding.'
'Please, you two were fighting ten minutes ago, and now you’re the best of friends?' I said witheringly. 'Guys are weird.”

The PostmanBookQuoters 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.
