― Cat Patrick, quote from Forgotten

“Tears upon tears splat on to the lined pages in my hands as I read about a nightmare come true. Quickly, I wipe away the saltwater so it won't fade the ink. Because even as my chest caves in and makes me hate the chipper birds and everything else, I know that I needed to read this today, and I need to read it again tomorrow.

For me, reading is remembering.”
― Cat Patrick, quote from Forgotten

― Cat Patrick, quote from Forgotten

“Luke and I stay nestled together until he nudges me.
We’d better get going, he says gently.
I guess I dozed off. I’m not letting you fall asleep without a note again. Why not? I ask, stretching. I kiss him on the cheek and add, with a sly smile, you don’t have to worry, Luke. I’ll remember you in the morning.”
― Cat Patrick, quote from Forgotten

“....LondonLane: I’m sure I don’t remember everything. I remember the future the way you remember the past. You remember the really good and bad and forget some of the middle, right?
LJH6678: Sure.
LondonLane: Same with me. Why?
LJH6678: Do you remember us having sex?...

LJH6678: Well? LondonLane: Truth? LJH6678: YES! LondonLane: Yes.....

Luke learned that he’s going to die young today and all he wants to ask me about is sex?”
― Cat Patrick, quote from Forgotten

“Trying not to think about it is only making it worse.”

― Cat Patrick, quote from Forgotten

“Not going to walk me to the door?" I asked, pretending to be shocked at his lack of gallantry.
"Of course I am. many would think that a bonny lass such as yerself wouldst be able to stay out of trouble for a distance of fifteen feet, but I know better."

― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, quote from Raised by Wolves

“يواصل الله خلق المرأة والقذف بها الى الشوارع , تلك بمؤخرة ضخمة جداً واخرى بنهدين صغيرين جداً , والمهووسة والمجنونة , والمتدينة , ومن تقرأ الفنجان , ومن لا تتحكم في ضراطها , ومن لها انف كبير , ومن لها سيقان نحيلة …
لكن بين الحين والاخر , تطل امرأة بكامل نورها , امرأة تتفتح من ثيابها ..مخلوق جذّاب , هي اللعنة ! ونهاية العالم .
نظرتُ الى اعلى ورأيتها , في الطرف المقابل للحانة . كانت مخمورة ورفض النادل ان يقدم لها مشروباً اخر, بدأت تشتُم وقاموا باستدعاء أحد رجال الشرطة , فأمسك بها الشرطي من ذراعها , وقادها الى الخارج , فيما كانوا هم يلغطون .
أنهيت شرابي وخرجتُ وراءهم .
((ايها الشرطيّ ! ايها الشرطيّ ! ))
توقّف ونظر اليّ .
((هل فعلت زوجتي سوءًا؟)) سالته .
((نعتقد انها مخمورة , يا سيدي . كنت سأرافقها الى البوابة)) .
((بوابة الانطلاق؟))
ضحك . ((لا يا سيدي . بوابة الخروج)).
((سأعتني بالامر , يا حضرة الشرطي)) .
((حسناً يا سيدي , ولكن اهتم بأن لا تشرب بعد الان )) .
لم ارّد . أمسكتها من ذراعها وعدت بها الى الداخل .
قالت : (( الحمد لله ,لقد انقذت حياتي )) .
اصطدم صدرها بي .
((لا بأس اسمي هانك))
قالت : ((انا ماري لو)) .
قلت : ((ماري لو , أنا احبك)) . ص 177”
― Charles Bukowski, quote from Post Office

“—Harper, te amo mucho más de lo que puedo explicar. Conocerte cambió mi mundo. Incluso cuando pensé que nunca serías mía, no podía seguir viviendo una vida que sabía que odiabas. La noche que me dijiste que me amabas fue la mejor noche de mi vida, hasta esta noche. Nunca te dejaré ir otra vez, quiero estar contigo por el resto de mi vida. Quiero casarme contigo algún día Harper. —Hizo una pausa y buscó mis ojos—. Haría cualquier cosa por ti, no sé que hacer para que me creas, pero pasaré la eternidad tratando de mostrártelo.”
― Molly McAdams, quote from Taking Chances

“Avarice, he assured them, was the one passion that grew stronger and sweeter in old age.”
― Willa Cather, quote from Death Comes for the Archbishop

“Love is not a disease...I cannot let them cut you out of me, nor her either. I will cling to my sickness, if it is a sickness. I will hold it close to me like the sun.”
― Rachel Hartman, quote from Seraphina

About BookQuoters

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.
