― M.K. Eidem, quote from Grim
“She waited until both girls nod.”

“It was a completely new feeling for me–like someone had just released a million, tiny butterflies loose in my stomach, and they were feverishly flying up into my head and making me lose my mind.”
― Laura Miller, quote from Butterfly Weeds
“Take what you've learned and love someone again.
Find someone to love and love without condition.
This is why we're all here.”
― Lisa Genova, quote from Love Anthony
“Amarillo: Dícese de aquella persona que es especial en tu vida. Los amarillos se encuentran entre los amigos y los amores. No es necesario verlos a menudo o mantener contacto con ellos. La forma de relacionarse con los amarillos es el cariño, la caricia y el abrazo. Consigue privilegios que antes estaban en posesión solo de la pareja.”
― Albert Espinosa, quote from The Yellow World
“Stupidity is what happens when you tell someone “I forgive you” (because it’s the “right thing” to do), but you secretly hope they drop dead right in front of you and tumble into the seventh circle of hell.”
― Whitney G., quote from Mid-Life Love
“no species, ours included, possesses a purpose beyond the imperatives created by its genetic history. Species may have vast potential for material and mental progress but they lack any immanent purpose or guidance from agents beyond their immediate environment or even an evolutionary goal toward which their molecular architecture automatically steers them.”

Prozac NationBookQuoters 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.
