“I will survive, Tracy thought. I face mine enemies naked, and my courage is my shield.”
― Sidney Sheldon, quote from If Tomorrow Comes
“She undressed slowly, dreamily, and when she was naked, she selected a bright red negligee to wear so that the blood would not show.”
― Sidney Sheldon, quote from If Tomorrow Comes
“We’re flimflam artists. But remember, sonny, you can’t con people unless they’re greedy to begin with. W. C. Fields had it right. You can’t cheat an honest man.”
― Sidney Sheldon, quote from If Tomorrow Comes
“But there was not a police car in sight. Sure, Tracy thought in disgust. They’re never around when you need them.”
― Sidney Sheldon, quote from If Tomorrow Comes
“How long a honeymoon are you planning?” Mrs. Stanhope inquired. “About fifty years,” Charles replied.”
― Sidney Sheldon, quote from If Tomorrow Comes
“There's nothing more satisfying than being stupid with a friend.”
― Fiona Wood, quote from Six Impossible Things
“I’m not just taking trips down memory lane; I’m broken down on it.”
― Pete Wentz, quote from Gray
“With God, the more one seems to lose the more one gains. The more He strikes off of what is natural, the more He gives of what is supernatural. He is loved at first for His gifts, but when these are no longer perceptible He is at last loved for Himself. It is by the apparent withdrawal of these sensible gifts that He prepares the way for that great gift which is the most precious and the most extensive of all, since it embraces all others. Souls which have once for all submitted themselves to the divine action, ought to interpret everything favourably.”
― quote from Abandonment to Divine Providence: The Classic Text with a Spiritual Commentary
“Why do people go to these places, these places that are not for them?
It must be that they believe in their night vision. They believe themselves able to draw images up out of the dark.
But black wells only yield black water.”
― Helen Oyeyemi, quote from White is for Witching
“She beat lightly on his chest with her fists. "I want a partner, not a protector."
"Can't I be both?"
"You're enormously exasperating sometimes, do you know that?"
He grinned. "And you love me anyway.”
― Marie Force, quote from Line of Scrimmage
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.
