“When she talks to Tripp, something nice happens inside of her: a vibration, a thrum. It's as if a tiny wind chime is suspended inside her soul, she thinks, and his words are the wind that makes it ring.”
― Mary Amato, quote from Guitar Notes
“Katie, I know it's your life. But please ... live it. Please live.”
― Amanda Sun, quote from Ink
“But love? Who can say what is just a mire of dark needs and desires, and what is true love? Does such a thing exist? Can't it be that if we say, 'I love you' to another person and know that we mean it, then that is love, regardless of the motive?”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, quote from Harbor
“ اذا كنت مضطرا لقطع فترة طويلة دون ان اتناول علاجي من الورق والحبر، بسبب السفر مثلا، أو عدم دفع فاتورة الغاز، او الخدمة العسكرية (كما كان الحال في يوم من الايام)، او شئون سياسية (كما كان الحال منذ فترة قريبة) أو أي عدد من العوائق الأخرى، اشعر بالتعاسة تترسب داخلي كالأسمنت. جسدي يتحرك بصعوبة، مفاصلي تغدو متصلبة، رأسي يتحول إلى صخر، حتى تنفسي تبدو له رائحة مختلفة. وهذه التعاسة من المحتمل أن تنمو، لان الحياة مليئة بالأشياء التي تتآمر على إبعاد الشخص عن الأدب. ”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story
“Incredible. Humans are such irrational creatures. So here you sit,a small space filled with demons that could tear you limb from limb as easy as pulling wings off a butterfly and you're scared of the helicopter crashing, which has a less than 2 percent chance... tell me Keira girl, what do you think the percentage is of a vampire sucking a human dry?”

Captive Prince: Volu...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.
