“Sometimes the hero of the fairy tale isn't a handsome prince. Sometimes it's you.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online On Tour
“We all have one life and we can choose how we want to live it. It's important you realize that, no matter what anyone else says or how people may try to influence things, it's ultimately down to you... only YOU can live for you. You can't live in someone else's shadow or permanently try to please someone else, then what do you have to show for it? You won't have any of your own accomplishments, you won't reach your personal goals, and you'll only be ticking someone else's boxes for them. If there is something in life that you really want to do, then do it. You'll only ever live this day once in your lifetime, so start now.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online On Tour
“It might be the end of this chapter. But, for us, our story is only just beginning.”

“I gave him the name Wiki, because his brain seems to contain as much knowledge as Wikipedia, whereas my revision notes disappear from my memory as fast as a Snapchat.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online On Tour
“Freedom has never felt so good.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online On Tour
“I guess we don't always know what other people are thinking, even if they seem to have everything figured out.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online On Tour
“Lower ways of life give way to higher.”
― Thomas Keneally, quote from The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith
“The number of elected officials who were willing to put the good of the country ahead of their own ego, and the success of their political party, was minuscule.”
― Vince Flynn, quote from Protect and Defend
“Watch that boy. He's going to startle somebody someday.”
― Daphne du Maurier, quote from The Parasites
“When I see those sad, abused and neglected animals on those commercials I feel despair for the human race. Too many people repay loyalty with faithlessness and give no thought to their own final hours when the might have to ask another to grant them the mercy that they withheld from those who trusted them.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Darkest Evening of the Year
“If you are once sure what you do want, you find that everything else goes down before it like grass under a roller—(all other interests, your own and other people’s. I had”
― Tasha Alexander, quote from And Only to Deceive
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.
