“... We're just different."
"Yeah," I say. "I'm mute and you have verbal diarrhea.”
“You don't have to say yes to everything, you know. It's okay to say no.”
“I love you. I don't always understand you, but I love you.”
“I don't think there's a good reason to run unless someone's chasing me. Seriously.”
“I just wanted a chance. You know. Like everyone else.”
“The heart can function with the wound but it never entirely heals.”
“There's not always time to say everything.”
“There are bigger things to worry about. Bigger things than unrequited love and false kisses.”
“It feels like you stole from me, like you used me. In more ways than one.”
“I know what it's like to look for someone to fill up the whole inside you.”
“Things aren't always as bad as they seem.”
“I don't want to know their secrets. There's only so far I can go.”
“When I was in the hospital, Jeremy made a bet. That you would go to the Winter Ball with Clark." "Really?" I smile. "We're just friends." I tell her. She nods. "They're the best kind.”
“The heart can function but it never entirely heals.”
“I can't believe it's you. Wait, why does my chart say Randy Johnson?"
Reid chuckled at the ridiculous name he used for anonymity. "It's an alias and sometimes a state of being.”

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.
