― Juliet Marillier, quote from Heir to Sevenwaters


“If she were here I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off her. I would hold her so close she'd beg me to let her breathe. I'd kiss her so hard she'd plead for mercy. I'd unfasten her clothing and lie with her on that hard bed, and what was between us would be as far above the ordinary congress between man and woman as the stars are above their pale reflections in the lake below.”
― Juliet Marillier, quote from Heir to Sevenwaters


“I should have realized, when Cathal kissed me in the hallway, that my response was the first raindrop heralding a storm.”
― Juliet Marillier, quote from Heir to Sevenwaters


“His touch was like a bard's on his instrument, and it awakened a deep and mysterious music in my body.”
― Juliet Marillier, quote from Heir to Sevenwaters


“strung a small white stone with a hole in it. ‘This is more precious”
― Juliet Marillier, quote from Heir to Sevenwaters

“Her plea was the music that the soul could hear at sunrise, if the mind was still enough to hear it.”
― Joey W. Hill, quote from Natural Law


“How could I relax when I had to welcome Christian into my home, the one who had wounded me deeper than anyone, the one who haunted my days and held me in my dreams?”
― A.L. Jackson, quote from Take This Regret


“I was sweating like a whore in chruch on a sunday.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Frigid


“Joshua Joseph has no real hatred of modern technology - he just mistrusts the effortless, textureless surfaces, and the ease with which it trains you to do things in the way most convenient to the machine. Above all, he mistrusts duplication. A rare thing becomes a commonplace thing. A skill becomes a feature. The end is more important than the means. The child of the soul gives place to a product of the system....For anything really important, Joe prefers something with a history, an item which can name the hand which assembled it and will warm to the one that deploys it. A thing of life, rather than one of the many consumer items which humans use to make more clutter; strange parasitic devices with their own little ecosystems.”
― Nick Harkaway, quote from Angelmaker


“There is abundance of opportunity for the man who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it.”
― Wallace D. Wattles, quote from The Science of Getting Rich

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.
