“I am not your God. Or if I am, I'm no God you can seek out for deliverance or explanation. I'm the kind of God who would eat you without compunction if I were hungry.”
― Ron Currie Jr., quote from God Is Dead
“He forgot about me almost as soon as I disappeared from sight.”
― Ron Currie Jr., quote from God Is Dead

“Time and again the people still in the camp, realizing they were now trapped, called to God in a hundred different dialects. He laughed and cried at once. He had so many names, yet could not answer to any of them.”
― Ron Currie Jr., quote from God Is Dead
“ في لحظة من اللحظات الخاصة في حياتنا - لحظة لم نتنبأ من قبل أن نمر بها عندما نكبر_منَّ الله بواسع من علمه ورحمته وعطفه علينا_،،،
بعد أن وجد فينا من العذاب ما نكابد ،،، ومن الألم ما نشعر به ،،، ومن عظيم الحاجة إلى ملء الخواء الكبير الروحي في أنفسنا ،،،
وبعد أن وجد لدينا الإستعداد الكبير لقبول ذلك ،،،
وعلى كل حال فقد حقق الله لنا ذلك ،،،
فله الشكر والمنة إلى يوم الدين ”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“Give me one year.Give me a year to prove to you that we belong together. That your darkness won't blot out my light. Promise me”
― Robin Bridges, quote from The Gathering Storm
“I’d never been a big fan of that saying, “Everything happens for a reason,” but maybe, sometimes, every once in a while, things coalesced into a complex, intangible reason. With tattoos and piercings and bad words and unfailing loyalty topped with a temper. And in its own imperfect way, it couldn’t have been any better.”
― Mariana Zapata, quote from Under Locke
“I like a girl with baggage, Abby Mae. Keeps things interesting.” His comment was too much; it stripped away my normal sarcastic responses. I was left with nothing but the bag in my hand, so I tossed it at him.”
― R.S. Grey, quote from With This Heart
“I Sat back in the chair, surveying the view in front of me like some savvy superhero, safe in her secret lair.
& that's when I saw it; a shadow slipping across the lower corner of camera seventeen.”
― Ripley Patton, quote from Ghost Hold
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.
