“If you work to obtain your goal, and realize from the very beginning that nothing valuable comes easily, and still forge ahead, without a doubt you’ll reach your goal, whatever it is.”

“What are you offering now?” I asked suspiciously. “Just me, my friendship. Just me, and the now-and-then right to kiss you, hold your hand, touch your hair, and take you to the movies, and listen to your dreams because you listen to mine, and be silly once in a while, build a past we’ll enjoy rememberings—that’s all.”
― V.C. Andrews, quote from Heaven
“there are three kinds of people. One, those who serve others. Two, those who give to the world by producing those who serve others. Three, the last kind, those who can’t be satisfied unless they achieve on their own, not by serving others but by their own merits and talents, producing, and not through their children, either.”
― V.C. Andrews, quote from Heaven
“We gotta appreciate Grandpa while he’s still with us, an not save our caring for his funeral day.”

“I’m going to claim her so there’s nothing to protect her from. I’ll make her mine, fill her with my seed and it will plant there. She’ll make an excellent mate and mother to my young.”

― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“These works are handed down from teacher to pupil, from parent to child, almost without question, like DNA. They are memorized, recited, discussed in book reports, included in university entrance exams, and once the student is grown up, they become a source for quotation. They are made into movies again and again, they are parodied, and inevitably they become the object of ambitious young writers’ revolt and contempt.”
― Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, quote from Rashōmon and Seventeen Other Stories
“Everything has an end, if only you live long enough to see it.”

“Beijei suas lágrimas. Quem dera que eu fosse mesmo santo. Quem dera eu
fosse o padre que estava parado junto do carro à sua espera, fingindo não ver que
nos beijávamos. O que era o beijo? O beijo mortal? Beijei sua boca novamente.
Um amor mortal e o tempo todo o desejo irresistível da ligação do sangue, não de
sua morte, não, Meu Deus, não, apenas a ligação do sangue, o conhecimento.”
― Anne Rice, quote from Blood Canticle
“You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy.”

The Pillars of Creat...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.
