“She rang me that afternoon on my mobile. I missed her call because of an idiot meeting. I wanted to hurt the morons who’d taken my time...”
― Raine Miller, quote from All In
“Like when everything flipped upside down and the scream of metal on metal exploded the silence and the world churned around me, ground over sky over ground over sky, and then, with a thunderous crack and a crunching of glass and steel, a twisted roof crushing me into a gutted floor, ground, I wasn’t surprised.”
― Robin Wasserman, quote from Skinned
“All I ever wanted in my life was to be treated as an individual. I have succeeded, to some extent. At least I'm sure that in the Lord's eyes, I am an individual. I am not a "colored" person, or a "Negro" person, in God's eyes. I am just me! The Lord won't hold it against me that I'm colored because He made me that way! He thinks I am beautiful! And so do I, even with all my wrinkles! I am beautiful!
-Bessie”
― Sarah L. Delany, quote from Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years
“Nu trebuie să mergi până la rădăcina lucrurilor: căci te vei da tu la fund. Nu trebui să cauți adevărul: nu-l vei găsi și te duci tu de râpă. Să nu pui întrebări! Porția de adevăr care îți este de folos ți se dăruiește gratuit; e amestecată cu erori și minciuni, dar asta e spre binele sănătății tale, căci în stare pură ți-ar arde măruntaiele. Nu încerca să-ți cureți sufletul de minciuni, fiindcă trag după ele atâtea altele la care nici nu te-ai gândit, și-ți pierzi ego-ul și tot ce ți-e drag.”
― Hjalmar Söderberg, quote from Doctor Glas

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.
