“Hell's a-coming and we all gotta learn to play the blues. (347)”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Ghost Road Blues
“When Tony lost it, it would be up to Ruger to take Lady Death by the tits and giver a good tweak. That's how he saw it. Give Lady Death's tits a good tweak.”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Ghost Road Blues
“Evil never dies. It merely waits. And it grows stronger in the dark.”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Ghost Road Blues
“The thunder growled loud enough to wake the storm.”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Ghost Road Blues
“but some people don’t care as much about pain. They know it, they’re used to it; it may not be an old friend, but it is an old companion.”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Ghost Road Blues
“Evil don’t die. It just waits.”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Ghost Road Blues
“The way he teased me made me feel tingly and giggly, like I’d had champagne for breakfast.”
― Gabrielle Tozer, quote from The Intern
“she described in a separate paragraph the Haredi community, and how within it religious practice was a total way of life. The distinction between what was rendered to Caesar and what to God was meaningless, much as it was for observant Muslims.”
― Ian McEwan, quote from The Children Act
“A man who has the attentions of an attractive royal princess should probably keep his eyes to himself."
"I'm just kidding, Morgiana. I really only have eyes for Jasmine," he said seriously. Then: "No offense."
"None was ever taken. You're too skinny for my liking, anyway. Put some meat on your bones and then we'll talk.”
― Liz Braswell, quote from A Whole New World
“Seers? You mean there are others aside from Gavin and Catherine’s husband?”
“Two other featherbrained fools. Together, they have all the sense of a chair leg.”
My lips curve into a smile. “Am I really the only human you can stand?”
“You have a certain charm. It’s grown on me.”
I can’t help laughing. “Please, don’t strain yourself with flattery.”
― Elizabeth May, quote from The Vanishing Throne
“Dia tidak pernah takut pada laba-laba, sepeda yang kotor, atau jemarinya terkena panas oven--dan dia sering mengalami semua itu. Namun, berjalan ke ruangan yang sama dengan pria yang ditaksirnya? Itu menakutkan.”
― quote from Bliss
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.
