“7.Remain calm and poised at all times, just like Audrey Hepburn;”
― Piper Banks, quote from Geek High
“I hadn't known my dad could get so competitive over an auction. It was
probably a good thing he hadn't yet discovered eBay.”
― Piper Banks, quote from Geek High
“2.Stop obsessing about the size of my nose. Yes, it’s freakishly large, but since there’s nothing I can do about that, it’s time I came to terms with it;
3. Avoid mirrors, so as not to be reminded of my nose;”
― Piper Banks, quote from Geek High
“You look”—amazing, incredible, eminently kissable—“fine,” I finished weakly.”
― Piper Banks, quote from Geek High
“Hiding the book in my lap, I’d lose myself in stories of dashing buccaneers falling in love with beautiful heiresses. I did this with no guilt whatsoever—I figured the books filled in the gaping holes left by the cut-and-dried sex-ed unit we covered in health class.”
― Piper Banks, quote from Geek High
“Living all alone! The freedom! Rather than being known as the Human Calculator, I’d be That Really Cool Chick Who Lives by Herself and Plays the Guitar Just Like Jewel!
Or I’m sure they’d say that if I actually played the guitar”
― Piper Banks, quote from Geek High
“Finn said he’s only coming back to be a subversive influence within the school. I had no idea what he meant by that, but I had to admit . . . it made me a little nervous. It’s never wise to underestimate Finn. He’s not the most morally centered person in the world.”

“I forced myself to stop thinking about it. I went to the room in my brain where all my thoughts about Adam lived and disconnected the electricity and boarded up all the doors and windows, so nothing could get out.
Obviously it was very unsightly. There were bound to be complaints from the neighboring thoughts. But I had no choice.”
― Marian Keyes, quote from Watermelon
“We interfere with God’s plans when we push in someone or something else not suitable for us. Be strict with yourself, and then be very strict with what you are receiving from the outside.”
― Mother Teresa, quote from No Greater Love
“He cranks up his arm, rears back, and throws, and the ball, taking an even more perfect path than it took off the bat, travels in a white arc, seeming to leave behind a line like a streak of forgotten rainbow as it drops over the fence, silent as a star falling into a distant ocean.”
― W.P. Kinsella, quote from Shoeless Joe
“That night was different... there was something pulling me towards him. Something dark and sexy.”
― Charles Burns, quote from Black Hole
“gün olup beni seveceği düşüncesiyle avunamazdım. gençtim, romantiktim ama,aşkı zamanla büyüyüp gelişen bir şey olarak göremiyordum. maddelerine uyulacak bir anlaşma değildi aşk.ya bir bütündü, sizi tümüyle içine alırdı ya da aşk değildi. başka bir şeydi belki.daha mantıklı,daha sakin bir şey. kendine göre yine güzel bir şey... ama o şeyi istemiyordum ben."
"bana da acımakla vakit kaybetme montjean. ben hayatta kendi durumumu dikkatle saptadım. ne fazla mutluluğa, ne de fazla acıya yer bırakıyorum. kendime güvenli ve kararlı bir yüzeysellik edindim. zevklerim var ama iştahlarım yok. gülüyorum, ama pek seyrek gülümsüyorum. beklentilerim var, ama umutlarım yok. esprilerim var, ama mizahım yok. çok atağım ama hiç cesaretim yok. açık sözlüyüm ama içtenliğim yok. çekiciliği güzelliğe tercih ederim. rahatlığı da yararlılığa tercih ederim. güzel kurulmuş bir cümle bence anlamlı bir cümleden iyidir. her şeyde yapaylığı seçerim!"
"henüz hiçbir şeye teşebbüs etmediğim için, kendi yetersizliklerimden haberim yoktu. bir şeye cesaret etmemiş olduğum için de, cesaretimin sınırlarını bilmiyordum.”

Eusebius: The Church...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.
