“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
“Wesley pulled me into his arms, wrapping me in a cocoon of warmth. “It’s late,” he said. “You should get some sleep. Take the bedroom--I can sleep here.” He gestured to the sofa.
I nodded, but didn’t want him to let go of me. “Come with me?”
He stood and led me into the bedroom. I lay down under the covers, still in my uniform, pulling him down with me. He placed the lantern on the bedside table, turning the wick low so the room went dark. He wrapped his arms protectively around my waist as he settled in. His skin smelled sweet and fresh, like water. I closed my eyes, pretending for a moment that this could last, that we could always be like this, together in the warmth of this tiny cottage in the middle of a poisoned forest.”
― Galaxy Craze, quote from The Last Princess
“Тя отпъди с усилие птиците.
- Къш, Патирк! Къш, Емили! Ето, вече ме изцапаха!
- Хубаво е когато можем да назовем причината за нещасието си по име, нали? -забелязах аз. - Тогава всичко е много по-просто.
Запътих се към своя форд, ала внезапно спрях. Какво казах? За секунда ми се стори, че някой ме прободе отзад. Извърнах се.
- Не е толкова страшно. - чух гласа на Кармен от градината. - Петното може да се изчисти.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from Shadows in Paradise
“. . .when you sell a man a book you don't sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night-there's all heaven and earth in a book. . .”
― Christopher Morley, quote from Parnassus on Wheels
“Know that it’s your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.”
― Anthony Robbins, quote from Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!
“It's like one of those scenes from a feel-good Hollywood movie. Where everybody is happy and nobody's hair fizzes in the wind. Where it doesn't rain, your shoes stay comfortable all day, and everybody's jokes are funny.”
― Randa Abdel-Fattah, quote from Does My Head Look Big in This?
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.
