“Really. I'm a firm believer in new beginnings. Looking back all the time... It really starts to hurt your neck." He shrugs carelessly. "If you don't want to be defined by your past, you shouldn't have to be.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“Fresh starts, okay? Maybe you're not ready to take it, but at least know one's here.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“If we're gonna hang out, there are going to be some things you can do that I can't. It is what it is. My world's limited in some ways, yeah, but there's no sense in trying to equalize it by giving up things you like.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“I'm said, I think. I frown into space for a minute. No. I'm lonely.
It's a sensation that Pax used to drive away. Now he makes the feeling worse than ever. Because nothing makes you feel lonelier than someone being with you... but not.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“But you're so damn vibrant and beautiful and... whole.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“This is ridiculous. You seem hell-bent on seeing on the good in me, yet you expect it to work some other way for you. I can't accept that.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“I think you're beautiful. And rare. Fierce but... delicate at the same time.”

― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“Between the friend zone and some other unknown zone all night long, I'm definitely confused about how Pax feels towards me. But if I'm being honest with myself? I have to admit that I'm not confused at all about how I feel towards Pax.”
― Karole Cozzo, quote from How to Keep Rolling After a Fall
“I know you still care.” His words whispered across my lips, his mouth almost touching mine. I shivered, my breath stuttering. “And, baby,” he continued, “I don’t think I can pretend any longer that I don’t think about being inside you nearly every hour of every day.”
His words were almost the equivalent of his mouth between my legs.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I thought, "The flowers, save the flowers..."
I never thought for a second
we wouldn't save the people”
― Andrea Gibson, quote from Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns
“…it seemed appropriate that I should develop some kind of illness. This is a good idea when you are at a loose end because everything, up to and including herpes, is better than being bored.”
― Jeremy Clarkson, quote from The World According to Clarkson
“When the whistling-thrush released
A deep sweet secret on the trembling air;
Blackbird on the wing, bird of the forest shadows,
Black rose in the long ago summer,
This was your song:
It isn’t time that’s passing by,
It is you and I.”
― Ruskin Bond, quote from The Best of Ruskin Bond
“I have done everything to try and get you out of my mind. I thought sending you away would be the solution, but I realized today that . . . by God, I can’t let you go.”
― Peggy L. Henderson, quote from Yellowstone Heart Song
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.
