“What was once obvious to them was no longer quite as obvious. Why was it that humans lost sight of truth so quickly?”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Green: The Beginning and the End
“...I once thought I defeated the evil in my heart. I learned something: We can face our demons, burn them up, stomp them into the ground. I turned mine to ashes. But even if you destroy the evidence of evil, you can't heal your heart. Not by yourself.”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Green: The Beginning and the End
“We become so used to the familiar that we begin to doubt the unfamiliar, until our eyes are opened and we see.”

― Jennifer Weiner, quote from In Her Shoes
“That part of your life is over. Set it aside as something you have finished. Complete or no, it is done with you. No being gets to decide what his life is "supposed to be"...'Be a man. Discover where you are now, and go on from there, making the best of things. Accept your life, and you might survive it. If you hold back from it, insisting this is not your life, not where you are meant to be, life will pass you by. You may not die from such foolishness, but you might as well be dead for all the good your life will do you or anyone else.”
― Robin Hobb, quote from The Mad Ship
“I used to be so good at that kind of thing," Skulduggery said quietly.

"god no. That was terrible”
― Derek Landy, quote from Playing with Fire
“Where there are villains, there will be heroes. Just wait. They will come.”
― Brandon Sanderson, quote from Steelheart
“When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible.”
― Rick Yancey, quote from The Infinite Sea
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.
