“And then the third night was after we broke up, which was worth a million matches but instead just took all I had. That night it felt that somehow by flicking them off the roof, the matches would burn down everything, the sparks from the tips of the flames torching the world and all the heartbroken people in it. Up in smoke I wanted everything, up in smoke I wanted you, although in a movie that wouldn’t work, even, too many effects, too showy for how tiny and bad I felt. Cut that fire from the film, no matter how much I watch it in dailies. But I want it anyway, Ed, I want what can’t possibly happen, and that is why we broke up.”
― Daniel Handler, quote from Why We Broke Up
“- أتكون الزنديق الذي يصفه بعضهم؟
- إني أحذر تفاني الأتقياء، لكني لم أقل يوماً إن الواحد الصمد اثنان
- هل خطر ذلك على بالك يوماً ؟
- أبداً، والله شهيد عليّ
- هذا يكفيني، وهو يكفي الخالق على ما أظن، لكنه لا يكفي العامة، إنهم يتربصون بأقوالك وبكل حركاتك، كما يتربصون بأقوالي وحركاتي، وبأقوال الأمراء وحركاتهم.”
― Amin Maalouf, quote from Samarkand
“His touch was like a bard's on his instrument, and it awakened a deep and mysterious music in my body.”

“Then maybe you can tell me something else. How is it that Elyon can allow evil to exist in the black forest? Why doesn’t he just destroy the Shataiki?” “Because evil provides his creation with a choice,” the child said as though the concept was very simple indeed. “And because without it, there could be no love.”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Black: The Birth of Evil

A Frozen WomanBookQuoters 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.
