Popular quotes

“I hadn’t actually come out and asked him to pick us up, so when he said, “All right, give me twenty minutes, I gotta go dig out my old crutches,” I knew with every last drop of blood and every bone in my body that Mike was at least related to Jesus.”
― Jennifer Gooch Hummer, quote from Girl Unmoored

“Je cherchais une âme qui et me ressemblât, et je ne pouvais pas la trouver. Je fouillais tous les recoins de la terre; ma persévérance était inutile. Cependant, je ne pouvais pas rester seul. Il fallait quelqu’un qui approuvât mon caractère; il fallait quelqu’un qui eût les mêmes idées que moi. C’était le matin; le soleil se leva à l’horizon, dans toute sa magnificence, et voilà qu’à mes yeux se lève aussi un jeune homme, dont la présence engendrait les fleurs sur son passage. Il s’approcha de moi, et, me tendant la main: "Je suis venu vers toi, toi, qui me cherches. Bénissons ce jour heureux." Mais, moi: "Va-t’en; je ne t’ai pas appelé: je n’ai pas besoin de ton amitié."

C’était le soir; la nuit commençait à étendre la noirceur de son voile sur la nature. Une belle femme, que je ne faisais que distinguer, étendait aussi sur moi son influence enchanteresse, et me regardait avec compassion; cependant, elle n’osait me parler. Je dis: "Approche-toi de moi, afin que je distingue nettement les traits de ton visage; car, la lumière des étoiles n’est pas assez forte, pour les éclairer à cette distance." Alors, avec une démarche modeste, et les yeux baissés, elle foula l’herbe du gazon, en se dirigeant de mon côté. Dès que je la vis: "Je vois que la bonté et la justice ont fait résidence dans ton coeur: nous ne pourrions pas vivre ensemble. Maintenant, tu admires ma beauté, qui a bouleversé plus d’une; mais, tôt ou tard, tu te repentirais de m’avoir consacré ton amour; car, tu ne connais pas mon âme. Non que je te sois jamais infidèle: celle qui se livre à moi avec tant d’abandon et de confiance, avec autant de confiance et d’abandon, je me livre à elle; mais, mets-le dans ta tête, pour ne jamais l’oublier: les loups et les agneaux ne se regardent pas avec des yeux doux."

Que me fallait-il donc, à moi, qui rejetais, avec tant de dégoût, ce qu’il y avait de plus beau dans l’humanité!”
― Comte de Lautréamont, quote from Maldoror = Les Chants de Maldoror, together with a translation of Lautréamont's Poésies

“Burn worldly love,
rub the ashes and make ink of it,
make the heart the pen,
the intellect the writer,
write that which has no end or limit.”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib

“Magnus gazed upon Camille. "Some of my fondest memories include lashings of cream and beautiful women.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale

“I had never seen eyes like his. Dark green. Smoldering. Ready to undress a woman with a single glance.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Surrender Your Love

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.
