“Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real life, it completely sucks”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Haunted
“Well, hi, CeeCee," I said. "Hi, Adam. Nice of you two to drop by. Ever heard of knocking?"
"Oh, please," CeeCee said. "Why? Because we might interrupt you and your precious Jesse?"
Jesse, upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows. Way up.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Haunted
“Jesse, this is Craig. Craig, Jesse. You two should get along. Jesse's dead,
too.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Haunted
“Adam gave me a scandalized look. "Fraternizing with the enemy!" he cried. "For shame, wench!”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Haunted
“I don’t know why the world has to be populated by so many unpleasant people. I really don’t. It really takes an effort to be rude, too. The amount of energy people expend on being a jerk astounds me sometimes.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Haunted
“I told them I wasn't crying. I told them my eyes were watering from all the marker fumes. And they seem to believe me. Too bad the only person I didn't seem able to fool anymore was myself.”

“When a friendship crumbles, there are only really two things that can bring it back: a shitload of time, or a sincere apology.”
― Dahlia Adler, quote from Just Visiting
“Yes, she’d changed me, as much as a man with my particular affinities could change. She’d pushed me. She’d walked into my life, five-feet-three inches of fiery independence.”
― Meredith Wild, quote from Hard Limit
“È senza dubbio una disgrazia per un uomo che deve procurarsi da vivere, nascere con una natura realmente nobile. Un animo elevato condurrà un uomo all’ospizio di mendicità.”
― Thomas Hardy, quote from A Pair of Blue Eyes
“shall always remember the next day for one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. As we marched forward we caught sight, after a while, of the gleaming golden towers of a monastery in the far distance. Above them, shining superbly in the morning sun, were tremendous walls of ice, and we gradually realised that we were looking at the giant trio Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu. As”

“Alberto caminaba de vuelta a su casa, ensimismado, aturdido. El invierno moribundo se despedía de Miraflores con una súbita neblina que se había instalado a media altura, entre la tierra y la cresta de los árboles de la avenida Larco: al atravesarla, las luces de los faroles se debilitaban, la neblina estaba en todas partes ahora, envolviendo y disolviendo objetos, personas, recuerdos: los rostros de Arana y el Jaguar, las cuadras, las consignas, perdían actualidad y, en cambio, un olvidado grupo de muchachos y muchachas volvía a su memoria, él conversaba con esas imágenes de sueño en el pequeño cuadrilátero de hierba de la esquina de Diego Ferré y nada parecía haber cambiado, el lenguaje y los gestos le eran familiares, la vida parecía tan armoniosa y tolerable, el tiempo avanzaba sin sobresaltos, dulce y excitante como los ojos oscuros de esa muchacha desconocida que bromeaba con él cordialmente, una muchacha pequeña y suave, de voz clara y cabellos negros”
― Mario Vargas Llosa, quote from The Time of the Hero

Voice of the GodsBookQuoters 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.
