“Love does strange things to you sometimes. It can twist you into saying and doing things that you know you’ll regret and still, you do them.”
― C.K. Kelly Martin, quote from I Know It's Over
“How many times can a person break you heart?”
― C.K. Kelly Martin, quote from I Know It's Over
“Things never go wrong at the moment you expect them to. When you're completely relaxed, oblivious to any potential dangers, that's when bad things happen.”
― C.K. Kelly Martin, quote from I Know It's Over
“You spend months barely acknowledging someone's existence and then BOOM, you're emotionally addicted to her. Science would probably blame it on chemicals, genetics or something equally logical, but it didn't feel like anything logical”
― C.K. Kelly Martin, quote from I Know It's Over
“I wanted to tell his dad that Nathan was fine the way he was and that he was the one that needed to change. It made me glad to have my parents. If I told my dad I was gay, he'd probably just look scared and hand over more safe sex money." -Nick Severson”

“Anyone can ride a bike," Jack said. "Even an elf." The corner of his mouth went up in amusement. "She can ramble through the grove, her natural habitat, and visit her animal subjects.”

“For the first time in my life, every day when I woke up I had clean clothes, and something to eat two, three times a day, as much as I wanted. Once I had that, I realized my revolution was over.”
― Dinaw Mengestu, quote from All Our Names
“Shane smise di ballare e si spostò leggermente per guardare Jimmy in faccia. Prese il suo viso tra le mani. “Rattlesnake è casa tua. Penso che tu lo sappia già questo. Ma credo sia anche giunta l’ora di diventare il proprietario di una casa vera e propria; in realtà vale per tutti e due.”
Jimmy alla fine fece la cosa che si era ripromesso di non fare mai, ma quella promessa era stata una bugia, e anche stupida. Scoppiò a piangere.
Continuarono a ballare, e Jimmy macchiò il cappotto di Shane di lacrime, e Shane fece lo stesso con il suo; Johnny Cash continuava a cantare attraverso il piccolo altoparlante. Jimmy pensò che gli sarebbe piaciuto avere un murale nel salotto tra un paio di solide librerie. Ovviamente avrebbe raffigurato un serpente a sonagli.
Tutto era cominciato con un uomo solo negli ampi spazi del deserto, alla guida di una Escort decrepita con un morto sul sedile passeggero. Però la storia era diventata quella di due uomini vivi che danzavano, pronti a mettere su casa insieme. E Jimmy era certo che la fine fosse ancora parecchio lontana.”

The MatingBookQuoters 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.
