“zweites Leben begann etwa zehn Stunden später, als ich im grellen Licht des Krankenzimmers erwachte – mit einer großen Kopfwunde und einer Vergangenheit, an die ich keinerlei Erinnerung besaß. Dass Freunde und Verwandte mein Bett umringten, hätte es mir eigentlich erleichtern sollen, half aber nichts, weil einer aus dieser”

“Mein zweites Leben begann etwa zehn Stunden später, als ich im grellen Licht des Krankenzimmers erwachte – mit einer großen Kopfwunde und einer Vergangenheit, an die ich keinerlei Erinnerung besaß. Dass Freunde und Verwandte mein Bett umringten, hätte es mir eigentlich erleichtern sollen, half aber nichts, weil einer aus dieser Runde schon seit geraumer Zeit tot war. In der Hoffnung, dass”

“Persistence is often a detective's greatest ally.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Taken by Midnight
“It was hard to stay angry when I felt so sad. I would rather have felt angry, but instead, all I could do was sob. Even though people had been coming over all day, the house seemed so lonely that I couldn't stand it.
The room grew somewhat dimmer. I didn't move as it grew dimmer still. Then, with a start, I hurried outside and ran to the alley in back of our house. Through a break between the buildings, I saw that the sun hung low over the horizon. I watched it until it started to hide between two trees in the distance. Then I climbed on a car and watched until only half of the sun was visible, and then a quarter, and then I felt a huge sickening panic inside of me and ran as hard as I could to a ladder I saw down the alley. I rushed up the ladder and climbed on the roof of somebody's garage. I saw the sun again, a quarter of it, and then a slice, and then it disappeared, the last time ever that the sun would set on a day my sister had lived.”

Children of the MindBookQuoters 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.
