“I’ve never fully trusted people who don’t like dogs. They rarely turn out well.”
― A.J. Hartley, quote from Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

Yorick bent forward and looked up into his eyes. “Don’t forget our respective places here. I’m your clown. Your plaything. Your toy. Scarcely human. No need to apologise.”
― A.J. Hartley, quote from Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

“Danish love, my sweet. Can’t you smell it?”
― A.J. Hartley, quote from Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
“Where on earth do you get a rose in Elsinore in the middle of winter?” “Don’t you want it?” She took the flower from him, kissed his cheek. No bristles. No beard. A clean-shaven man with a kind and amiable face. Scheming. She didn’t doubt it. But he was a diplomat by training. It was only to be expected. And if he’d lacked those skills perhaps neither of them would have managed Old Hamlet’s death, the marriage, the succession so easily.”

“СЛОЖНОДУМНО
Гъстонаселено се автотранспортирах в общоизвестното южнопарижко местонаправление и се самоозовах близкостоящ до един дълговрат плетеноширитен дръжми-шапковец. Гореописаният трагикомично слаботелесен нехранимайко с плиткодънна многозначителност умопомрачи еди-кого си с долуказаното: “Като целенасочено своеволничите, вие нееднократно злоупотребявате с телосложението ми!” След животрептущето си словоизлияние преждеговорившият правостоящ скорострелно се облагодетелства от междувременно обезлюдилата се едноместна автоседалка.
Подир двучасово времетраене мимоходом го лицесъзрях да площадосенлазарства с гологлав доброжелател, който нравоучително и чистосърдечно празнословеше: “Целесъобразно е да преокомплектоваш по-благоразумно полушубката си!” И умозаключително изсладкодумничи причинно-следствената взаимовръзка.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“God loves you even on your blackest days, and He will always, always be there to guide you home. All you have to do is look for the light of His love.”

“It is a mystery to civilized men how lost boys and girls can adapt to life in the wild, but children are capable of a great deal more than men give them credit for.”

Flesh and BloodBookQuoters 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.
