― Katherine Applegate, quote from Home of the Brave

used to say on dark days:
If you can talk, you can sing.
If you can walk, you can dance.
Ganwar, I whisper,
what if she never comes?”

“The grocery store
has does and does
of color, of light,
of easy hope.

my eyes too full of this place,
with its answers to prayers
on every shelf.”

Hannah moves down the aisle,

my eyes too full of this place,
with its answers to prayers
on every shelf.”

“It's nice to look forward to, isn't it—a life of work and play and little daily adventures side by side with somebody you love?”
― Jean Webster, quote from Dear Enemy
“Her green eyes meet mine in the Guinness mirror behind the bar and it feels like all the air has been sucked out of the room. I’ve never slept with this girl, but she was the first I remember wanting.
Harper Gray.”
― Trish Doller, quote from Something like Normal
“after all that I had read during the night. Even into this quiet place the war had reached like the tentacle of an octopus and had touched this girl and brought about her death. Like some infernal monster, still venomous in death, a war can go on killing people for a long time after it’s all over.”
― Nevil Shute, quote from Requiem for a Wren
“The noise kept up and did not stop. My head rang. I saw Shepherd take the chewing gum from his mouth, break it into two, and stick it in both ears. He kept working.”
― Kenneth Oppel, quote from Starclimber
“Život počeo se u Filipu topiti na sastavne dijelove u njemu je neprekidno rastvorno analitičko raspadanje svega počelo da raste sve nemirnije to je u njemu rastao proces koji se negdje otkinuo od svoje svrhe i sada se već dulje vremena sve samo od sebe kreće u smjeru rastvaranja. To kontemplativno uništavanje svega što mu dolazi pod ruku ili pred oko pretvara se polagano u ideju što je stala da ga progoni iz dana u dan sve intenzivije pod njegovom vlastitom predodžbom o vlastitom subjektivnom životu počeo je da nestaje svaki pa i najmanji smisao. Njegov vlastiti život negdje se otkinuo od svoje podloge i stao pretvarati u fantom koji nema nikakva razloga da postoji i to već prilično dugo traje a postaje sve teže i zamornije.”
― Miroslav Krleža, quote from The Return of Philip Latinowicz

Sherlock Holmes: The...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.
