― Luke Young, quote from Friends With Partial Benefits
“my mom, and she’s totally cool with it… Look she’s still going through a hard time right now—divorce. My dad’s basically a dick who cheated on her. So, if she’s, like, depressed or just staring at the pool like a zombie or something, it’s because of that." As they crossed the state line into Florida, Rob said, "And no thinking about Natalie.”

“Unamused, Ushara went to pull the kettle from the stove and pour the tea. “That’s beside the point. And you forget that we’re Andarion. We don’t like scars on our males. They’re hideous and gross.” As she turned back, she caught the hurt and stricken expression on Jullien’s face. Too late, she remembered how many scars lined his body. “Jules…”
Completely somber, he moved away from her. “I should be going. I have an early shift.”
“Jullien?” But it was too late. He was out of her home before she could apologize.
“Mum? What happened?”
Furious at herself for being so thoughtless, she cupped her son’s chin and sighed. “I accidentally hurt his feelings. I forgot that Jullien has a lot of scars that bother him.”
“How could you forget?”
“’Cause I don’t see them, Vas. They don’t matter to me.” She brushed the hair back to look at his brow and was about to take him to the doctor to have it stitched when she realized that Jullien had already done it. “He stitched you?”
Vas nodded. “He did it so fast, I barely felt it.”
She should have known that Jullien wouldn’t have left with it unfinished. Sighing, she kissed Vas’s bandage and hated that she’d hurt Jullien’s feelings. “Come on, honey. Let’s get you cleaned up and ready for bed.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Legend
“Elora Laiken stood staring at it, feeling numb in body, mind, and spirit. She tried to focus on what Monq was saying as he scurried around the lab, waist long, white hair swaying in time with his agitated movements. “I’m sending you off world.”
― Victoria Danann, quote from My Familiar Stranger
“Every evening the girls of the house gathered about me on the mats, and after chasing away Kory-Kory from my side—who nevertheless, retired only to a little distance and watched their proceedings with the most jealous attention—would anoint my whole body with a fragrant oil, squeezed from a yellow root, previously pounded between a couple of stones, and which in their language is denominated ‘aka’. And most refreshing and agreeable are the juices of the ‘aka’, when applied to ones, limbs by the soft palms of sweet nymphs, whose bright eyes are beaming upon you with kindness; and I used to hail with delight the daily recurrence of this luxurious operation, in which I forgot all my troubles, and buried for the time every feeling of sorrow. Sometimes”

“wasn’t every day I had to inform people I wasn’t actually dead.”

“الطوارق هم الوحيدين بين كل الشعوب الإسلامية الذين مازالوا يتبعون بوفاء تعليمات محمد،معلنين المساواة بين الجنسين،ونساؤهم ليس فقط أنهنّ لا يحجّبن وجوههنّ بالحجاب- خلاف الرجال- إنما يتمتعن أيضا بحرية مطلقة حتى لحظة الزواج،دون تقديم حساب عن أفعالهن،لا لآبائهن ولا لزوجهن المستقبلي،والذي بشكل عام يخترنه هنّ بأنفسهن وحسب عواطفهن..”

Manifold: TimeBookQuoters 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.
