warm, fragrant oil all over me, from head to toe, all over my throat and chest and my legs and arms. I
want—”
Theo pushed the chair back on the deck and it made a loud scraping sound. He grabbed Lucy’s face

“For if you succeed in making this girl laugh, if you make her laughter ring in the air like a fountain of silver coins cascading to the floor, you will win her heart forever.”
― Félix J. Palma, quote from The Map of the Sky


“Do not mock my baby." He pulls away and strokes his palm over he seat. "She was my first love."

"Well your current ... er ... girl, is getting jealous with all the attention you're paying your first love, and she has orifices you can stick things in without having your boy bits burnt off."

He pulls me into him again and his mouth goes to work on my neck. “Fuck I love it when you talk dirty.”
― Carmen Jenner, quote from Welcome to Sugartown


“Görüş sahası ne kadar dar olursa olsun, insan muhayyilesi geniştir. Değirmenoluk köyünden başka hiçbir yere çıkmamış bir insanın bile geniş bir hayal dünyası mevcuttur. Yıldızların ötelerine kadar uzanabilir. Hiçbir yer bulamazsa Kafdağının arkasına kadar gider. O da olmazsa, düşlerinde yaşadığı yer başkalaşır. Cennetleşir. Şimdi, şu anda düşler veryansın ediyordur uykuların altında. Şu fıkara, şu kahırlı Değirmenoluk köyünde, değişmiş dünyalar yaşanıyordur.”
― Yaşar Kemal, quote from Memed, My Hawk


“Soon I will be older than him, but I'll always chase him anyway, like a little sister, and always he'll be running just along at the edges of things, and always he'll be turning a corner, just ahead.”

“A woman who’s lived in a cage all her life. And hates it. Bored in there, aren’t you. Waiting for life to happen. And when it finally does, it steals from you what you loved most. So take back. Explode. Lash out. Blow up”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene

About BookQuoters

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.
