“His words hung between them, and Faith tried to pin down when exactly their relationship had gone from cooly professional to personal. There was something so kind about him under his awkward manners and social ineptness. Despite her best intentions, Faith realised that she could not hate Will Trent.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fractured
“Talk about sloppy seconds. Was there such a thing as sloppy thousandths?”

“This seemed to be how dads taught their boys to be men, but there had to be a point, maybe early on, when they were able to hold their hands. One tiny one engulfed by one big one.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fractured
“Her hearing had faded out as soon as he’d touched her—maybe it was the angels playing harps or the exploding fireworks. Maybe her drink was too strong or her heart was too lonely.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fractured
“It was getting to be so ridiculous, she was surprised there weren't special schools for the boring, average children.”
― Karin Slaughter, quote from Fractured
“In Abigail’s experience, women certainly loved their mothers, but there was always some kind of thing that lived between them. Envy? History? Hate? This thing, whatever it was, made girls gravitate toward their fathers. For his part, Hoyt Bentley had relished spoiling his only child. Beatrice, Abigail’s mother, had resented the lost attention. Beautiful women did not like competition, even if it was from their own daughters.”

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, quote from Demons
“Rand, maybe that's the answer they give to everybody. Those snake people, I mean. Got to Rhuidean. Maybe we don't have to be here at all.' He did not believe it, but with that fog staring him in the face. ...
Rand turned his head to look at him, not speaking. Finally he said, 'They never mentioned Rhuidean to me, Mat.'
'Oh, burn me,' he muttered.”
― Robert Jordan, quote from The Shadow Rising
“لا قيمة للحياة من دون عشق .لا تسأل نفسك ما نوع العشق الذي تريده،روحي ام مادي،إلهي أم دنيوي ، غربي أم شرقي...فالانقسامات لا تؤدي إلا إلى مزيد من الانقسامات .ليس للعشق تسميات ولا علامات ولا تعاريف.انه كما هو ،نقي وبسيط.
العشق ماء الحياة .والعشيق هو روح من نار! يصبح الكون مختلفا عندما تعشق النار الماء”
― Elif Shafak, quote from The Forty Rules of Love
“You will go most safely by the middle way.”
― Ovid, quote from Metamorphoses
“I'm a girl of extremes. When I love something, I'm like a puppy dog (without all the licking). When I'm cranky, I'm a wasp (like a whole hive of 'em). And when I'm angry, I'm a Mother Bear with a predator after her cubs: Dangerous.”
― James Patterson, quote from Fang

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.
