“You’ve been drinking. Let’s go before I become the asshole prick you think I am.”
― Cristin Harber, quote from Hart Attack
“There’s no other way to look at you. You’re the definition of beauty.”
― Cristin Harber, quote from Hart Attack
“Before Beth could warn the dude of the danger, Nicola elbowed him with that special touch of hers. His cheeks puffed out, his brow dropped down, and he doubled over. Not turning her head, she gave Beth a roll of her eyes. “I tried to say ‘go away’ politely.”
― Cristin Harber, quote from Hart Attack
“Your booty call embargo will remain intact.”
― Cristin Harber, quote from Hart Attack
“Tequila had been a bad idea.”
― Cristin Harber, quote from Hart Attack
“Love's empire is this globe and all mankind; the most refined and the most degraded, the cleverest and the most stupid, are all liable to become his faithful subjects. He can alike command the devotion of an archbishop and a South-Sea Islander, of the most immaculate maiden lady (whatever her age) and of the savage Zulu girl. From the pole to the equator, and from the equator to the further pole, there is no monarch like Love.”
― H. Rider Haggard, quote from Dawn
“Shay looked at him like he’d just peeled off his skin to reveal the alien hide beneath.”
― Dayna Lorentz, quote from No Easy Way Out
“If quantum entanglement is true, if related particles react in similar or opposite ways even when separated by tremendous distances, then it is obvious that the whole world is alive and communicating in ways we do not fully understand.”
― Christian Wiman, quote from My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer
“Before any sinner can be saved he must come to the place of realized weakness. This is what the conversion of the dying thief shows us. What could he do? He could not walk in the paths of righteousness for there was a nail through either foot. He could not perform any good works for there was a nail through either hand. He could not turn over a new leaf and live a better life for he was dying. And, my reader, those hands of yours which are so ready for self-righteous acting, and those feet of yours which are so swift to run in the way of legal obedience, must be nailed to the Cross. The sinner has to be cut off from his own workings and be made willing to be saved by Christ. A realization of your sinful condition, of your lost condition, of your helpless condition, is nothing more or less than old-fashioned conviction of sin, and this is the sole prerequisite for coming to Christ for salvation, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
― Arthur W. Pink, quote from The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross
“Morning after morning, I wake up with him lingering in my thoughts and I feel guilty without having any idea why.”
― Paula Weston, quote from Shadows
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.
