But I wasn't dead now...”

“...you can't put nothing past these southern boys. They just sit around waiting for somebody to kill their brother so they can get started on some vengeance. It's like a dang vocation with them”
― Alden Bell, quote from The Reapers are the Angels

― Alma Katsu, quote from The Taker

“«Ci sono molte cose, credo, che possono avermi fatto del bene senza che io ne abbia ricavato un profitto», replicò il nipote, «e Natale è una di queste. Ma sono sicuro che ho sempre considerato il periodo natalizio, quando è venuto — a prescindere dalla venerazione dovuta al suo nome e alla sua origine sacra, ammesso che qualcosa che si riferisca possa esser tenuta separata da questa venerazione — come buono; un periodo di gentilezza, di perdono, di carità, di gioia; l'unico periodo che io conosca, in tutto il lungo calendario di un anno, nel quale uomini e donne sembrano concordi nello schiudere liberamente i cuori serrati e nel pensare alla gente che è al disotto di loro come se si trattasse realmente di compagni nel viaggio verso la tomba, e non di un'altra razza di creature in viaggio verso altre mete. E per questo, zio, anche se il Natale non mi ha mai fatto entrare in tasca una moneta d'oro, e neanche d'argento, credo che mi abbia fatto bene e che mi farà bene, e chiedo che Dio lo benedica».”
― Charles Dickens, quote from A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings

“നിങ്ങളൊരുമിച്ചു നിന്നാൽ ഹസ്തിനപുരത്തിന് കപ്പം തന്ന് കാൽ വണങ്ങാത്ത ഒരു രാജാവും ലോകത്തിലുണ്ടാവില്ല. അതേതെങ്കിലും ആചാര്യൻ നിങ്ങളെ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നുണ്ടോ?............ശവം വീണു കാണാൻ കൊതിക്കുന്ന കൂളികൾ പല വേഷത്തിൽ ഈ കൊട്ടാരത്തിൽ കയറിയിറങ്ങുന്നുണ്ട്‌. ജ്യോതിഷക്കാരായിട്ടും ഋഷിമാരായിട്ടും. നിങ്ങൾ ഒരുമ്മിച്ചു കഴിയേണ്ടവരാണ്. അതു മാത്രം അവർ പറഞ്ഞുതരില്ല...(ഗാന്ധാരി )”
― M.T. Vasudevan Nair, quote from രണ്ടാമൂഴം | Randamoozham

“…every scar I have hurt, and my body is covered in scars that have healed quickly but they all hurt, and I can’t say about any of them, ‘No harm done.”
― Sally Green, quote from Half Wild

About BookQuoters

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.
